So, I need a little help. I was driving in traffic on Sunday when I spotted a Red 911 ahead. Soon after spotting him, he made a move through traffic and took off. I couldn't help myself, not that self control has ever been easy for me, so I maneuvered through traffic and quickly caught up to him and passed him. I don't think I broke 80mph at any time. My question is does anyone else suffer from these moments of lack of self control?

Yes, always, but when I get close to 90MPH the 1st time, I shut it down because I get visions of blue and red lights behind me. And that means expensive $$$ in court and insurance, and being super pissed/mad for 5 days straight. Not worth it anymore. There is always something faster than you on the road.

I might have years ago when street racing wasn't viewed like today. Now.... nope. Recently I had a Nissan GT - R come up behind me on the local interstate. As he went by he dropped a gear and stood on it. Whoop de do...

GTR people just jealous of us since they don't got manual transmissions in their cars

must be that I'm getting older or that i track my car but i haven't had the urge to race people on the street. in fact i think driving my car on the street has become boring and all i can think about is driving it on a track. i have been thinking of getting a dedicated track car, selling my vette and getting an old impala convertible.

Every time I accidentally go above 65 MPH, I drive straight to church and beg the lord for forgiveness.

A few years ago I was coming home from the IMSA race at VIR in my built C5. On the side of the road two guys were talking beside a black C6Z and a white Lambo of some sort. I waved and went on by as they waved back. As I headed home I was loafing along at about 65 in 55 mph zone. About 10 minutes later the Lambo goes by me doing at least 30 mph faster. I caught up with him and he took off even faster. Pretty soon we're well doing over 100 on a desolate country road. I stayed right in his mirrors the whole way. We didn't throttle back until the speed limit went down to 45. Finally, he went north and I went south at an intersection. He gave a thumbs up out of the Lambo's little side window as he turned.

There wasn't another car on the road the whole time. We did pass by a farmer on his tractor in the field beside the road. He's probably still telling his buddies the story about the two cars wailing by his farm at a buck twenty-five.

I came around a tight right hand turn and saw a GT3 right in front of me and no one else around. I passed him doing about 130mph and didn't let off until about 150mph. He didn't let off either until we both needed to slow down for 14a/roller coaster.

I have no present recollection. . . .

What does "no" mean?

It's pretty much the same as me having no semi-auto rifles cuz of that unfortunate boating accident I had where they were all lost. . . .

Which was a darned shame.

3 things happen every time I get behind the wheel of a great car
1) I regress to 14yrs old
2) horns grow out on my head
3) commun sense goes out my butt
I've been roadracing for 16yrs by now and I know better, but sometimes if you can't make it to the bathroom a tree will do

I can not help myself,been a street drag racer for over 50 years and I could never turn down a good romp in my car or with a pretty woman.

It's pretty simple...
IF going fast is a problem for ya, get a Corolla...you'll be much wealthier in the long run (notice I didn't say richer).

As long as traffic and weather is permitting it is GAME ON..
I do not swerve in and out of traffic or do it when congested, But if the road is clear ahead its go time
