The harsh laws are there for a reason. I'm not gonna try to act like I dont, but to say **** the law because they dont want us driving like idiots makes you look stupid.
Take it to the track or find a back country road and quit bitching.

I'm not saying I dont race on the street, but thats why the laws are there. And if you're on a completely deserted street, you shouldnt have to worry about cops.

Maybe he's in a Geo Metro? That way he is never breaking the speed limit and a cop would never think he is recklessly driving even if he tached the thing out.

Those thin azz tires would cut right thru the snow and with it's crasy TQ numbers, well traction wasn't an issue.

Wow. I never realized how many mindless idiots are. I never said anything about "them" letting us race 150 mph down the expressway, running over babies and elderly people while sipping Bacardi on our birthday. I'd venture to say the "safe" street racers race when there are not that many people on the expressway/highway/whatever. It IS possible for something unexpected to occur during that time and it IS possible for something unexpected to occur when I'm going the speed limit. Duh. Of course, driving over the speed limit gives you less of a buffer in the perception-reaction time in which to act accordingly.
