It's way too cold out to play those games over here at the moment, even though it was an otherwise nice day today.

Street racing gets innocent people, and idiots, killed.

Good call. I don't mind the cars that just want to see the Vette take off, street racing is another story and off limits as far as I'm concerned.

I’ll chime in here and say I’m pleased with the attitude expressed by the previous posters.

Want to race, go to one of the driving schools and get your grins there, not on the street. Don

Although it's sometimes tempting, the stakes are just too high. I agree with the above posters.

I'm not some young kid or an irresponsible street racer.....but there is no way to keep me from romping it with a lambo on my tail....as long as there was no traffic making it unsafe.... especially on the on-ramp.... it's actually legal to accelerate as hard as you want there, up to the speed limit, as long as you are not spinning tires or trying to pass a car in front of you.....according to a LEO friend of mine here in the Atlanta metro area...

Would have been interesting. I agree street racing can be dangerous, but can not say I am against it and have never done it. Have to taste that power, just have to pick your spots to minimize the danger.

Interstate and residential streets are totally different, I don't find a problem with a short burst on a low traffic interstate with the right conditions just have to be smart.

Did he come up fast on you or just keep pace? Perhaps he was just trying to get a good look at another nice ride.

With these cars and all the attention they get, you need to show discipline because everyone wants to take a run at you. And almost
all the cars on the street just aren't worthy.
