Really hate reading things like this where innocent people are the result of morons out racing in places they shouldn't be. 118mph in a 40mph? They're not getting out of jail any time soon.

This is a prime reason why I made my car fast enough to rape 90% of cars before getting to 100 mph. : (

And whom might Alexis be? Kind of confused on what exactly you might be referencing.

Still not sure but since I live nowhere near Texas I guess I won't worry about it?

I noticed the report states "black box recovered from the camaro"... Anyone have any clue as to what the "black box" is?

I'm not sure what exactly the black box does but hopefully it will make for a conviction. This can happen anywhere, on any street. It is just more likely in some places and times. I am sure we will hear more from the street race defenders but there is no safe place to Street race.

Agreed. Older I get the more I agree with no street racing. I built my current car to run away from new stock cars very quickly so I don't have to wind out the car if it happens. 100 is about as fast as I care to go on a public street and that's pushing it, highway is a tad different but still not interested in moon runs.

THIS is why we can't have nothin' NICE!

A couple of years back I caught all manner of **** for jumping on a member who posted up their Mexican Interstate Race... where 150+ morons RECORDED themselves passing FULLY LOADED busses like they were standing still.

It's IDIOCY.

Street racing is light to light... and that's the only viable way it can work.

it's a "Green, Pedal, Brake" game. 0-60ish ... .

My whole setup is entirely built to win that race.

I realize a lot of kids think that's nonsense, but I don't care. It's what building a hot-rod is all about. The high speed game is fine, but that is what a track is for.

This is the prime reason I have self-control.

It's a Camaro, I would think if anywhere, you guys would know.

I assume just the ECU. Way back in 1990, we had a Prelude with issues at the stealership. Tech read the ecu and found a 4th to 2nd shift at about 110, that wasn't warrantied.
I don't know where that stuff is logged in the ecu, tho.
Never see that on the EFI threads.

Pisses me off that those kids escaped death but took two innocent lives. Hope they don't get out anytime soon.
