I'm not sure why I have zero posts, my guess is because I'm using my phone. As for the times and hp, they were my most recent outings. Goodyear all weather tires hurt my 60ft and those times were with exhaust and tune. I'm not sure why it stopped making power at 4700 rpm I mean I should get at least 50 more hp by reving past redline!
And maybe I should be more clear. I've never been pulled by ANY car in my 5000lbs n/a 2v. But in full disclosure I'll admit it has a few aftetmarket upgrades, red, blue and white blinky lights, equipped with an assault rife, shotgun and a radio with a 24 mile radius... NOTHING gets away from me! Lol J/K guys but seriously street racing is dangerous ... Don't do it, now carry on.

We run on almost a weekly basis, yet to be caught.
Will one of us some day? Unlikely honestl, myself alone it has been over 25 times.
If you are smart about where you race/how you scout it/etc... It is nearly impossible to get caught. The interstate we run on has a few hills and curves every so often and has turn offs/back roads about every 1.5 miles. We're doing 100+ WOT if we pass a cop going the OPPOSITE direction as we are at a minimum 60+mph.
He has to stop, turn around, then pick up speed... We're doing 140+ for 15-20 seconds, slow down, turn off, head back to town.
We always scout first, don't race with cars behind us, and do it where there is a hill close to where we would be hitting the brakes so they can't see us from a distance (giving them time to give chase).
Street racing is dangerous however, I do agree there... So is running, more so than racing. I don't understand why so many cops will give chase when A. it is obvious they aren't going to catch the car and B. it is extremely dangerous.

They have happen to pursue me, 25+times to be more precise (that is literal, not stretching the truth) and I have never been caught, not even a close call.
Cop cars are slow... The radio means nothing if I have made 2-3 turns onto other roads (out of his site) by the time he has even gave his location. Double that with a car that is twice as fast as your normal cruiser, they don't have much of a chance.
I have ran in places that I know the back of my hand... Places I have never been before... Back country roads, the interstate, 4 lanes (usually it is the 4 lane we race on)... If they didn't see my plate and there is no question I'm getting busted hard for something, it isn't worth it to stop. I am smart about it however. I have stopped before if it is congested (which I usually am not doing anything worth getting pulled over anyway) and roads slightly damp.
It is extremely easy.

I have ran a few times too. I pulled in someones driveway once because it was as wide as a road thinking run down this road. I watched the cruiser fly by then pulled out and went the opposite way...lmao

50+ cars? You must live near a city... collectively the surrounding counties could produce 12 here if they were running full shifts. Both counties I work with have 2 to 3 units on per night... local towns may have 1 but most have county protection agreements. I would say including ISP on any given night you have 6 cars in a a 30 mile range. That's not to mention 99% have no pursuit policies in place on non felony stops... even if a local officer gives chase he gets no backup from county. I would never run or screw around much since my car is pretty easy to spot and I'm on first name basis with a lot of the guys who patrol but its pretty thin coverage in an area like mine.

It is usually 2-5 cars at the very most... Only two cars racing at a time so only 2 cars would need to run. There have been times where we are speeding excessively (85+) though with 3-5 of us and we have all decided to run.

I'll just keep picking up the pieces of you and your car after you crash. I'll be the one knocking on your mom's door at 0'dark 30 asking her to identify your body at the morgue, and chances are I'll be the one working a 20 hr shift investigating how the crash occurred meanwhile my family wonders when or if their husband / father / son will come home. But hey you had 30sec of fun and that's all that matters right?
It's fun to have fun but be smart and stay safe.

The penalties for fleeing from Police are much more severe. Regardless, I was trying to be funny with my original post about people running. But since you know everything and have it all figured out I'll reserve my safe driving lecture, I just hope you don't become another statistic. Anyway if you ever get to PA we'll grab a beer and swap stories, take care.

Street racing..yea..most of us take part in it..but running from a cop...that not be me. I know I am doing something illegal if I street race and I will accept my punishment, if caught.
I already had lost my license when I was in my 20's for multiple speeding tickets and the last one being a racing ticket. I still did not run eventhough I knew my license was going to be suspended.

This isn't the first time I have gave you **** in SRK although it has been a couple years since we last swapped posts. You always take it jokingly and it is a good time. I enjoy it.
If I get caught, the penalties will be stiff. If I wreck, it may be the end. I know the consequences, I have seen both (penalties and wrecks) first hand.. Almost had a friend die in my arms after being ejected out the front windshield at 80mph because he didn't know a turn was coming up during the race. I was following and I was the only one that stopped to help, I could have cared less about the consequences a life was at stake. I have also seen license pulled and 3,500$ worth of fines/etc.
With that said... If i pass one at 100+ WOT going the opposite way, if it is safe enough to race... It is safe enough to run!
