it looks like all those suspension mods really did the trick!
that goes to show you that the geometry of a honda civic's suspension is NOT set up for competition, no matter how stiff it's set...

Unit213 pretty much summed it up. That video is 100% the reason why any type of street racing carries such stiff penalties now. People like that ruined it for everyone else.

going through gears in a spirited fashion now-a-days gets heavy police
attention. Back in the muscle car era, guys would do burnouts right
in front of cops and it was all good.

You have said your self that people can race responsibly on the street, you even claim to have done so.
i thought reckless driving was things like weaving between lanes, passing on the shoulder, careening through traffic, 'drifting' on public streets, etc. people should get their license pulled for doing that stuff, regardless of whether or not they are racing. these guys were street racing AND they were reckless. It was the recklessness that got them.

I think burnouts fall under "Excessive Use of Speed" still ticketable, but if the cops a dick Im more than sure he would say it was wreckless driving.
BTW I have a wreckless driving charge on my record and I was doing nothing close to the asshats in the vid. I was actually on a back road doing 70 in a 45 no cars just me cruising, cop was in a unmarked 4x4 bronco siting in a field with no lights on. Saw I was pretty young at the time so he hauled me in and sent my car to the pound.
Do you think I should have permanatly lost my car for that one.....I mean wreckless driving is wreckless driving.

You are correct. Once, during my high school days, I was riding with my friend in his 4 banger Mustang on the way to a party. He was making a right turn at an intersection and there was sand on the road. His tire barked just a little bit as he was turning. This cop came out of nowhere and cited him for reckless driving. Good thing the cop didn't see the case of beer in the back seat...

Lol, leave it to a honda to lose it going 45 miles an hour.
Speaking of burnouts, i had to "run" from the cops the other day cause i almost got busted for doing donuts. We had a big rain and i was in a wide open parking lots spinning round in circles. I finished up and am starting to leave the parking lot and i see a cop in the parking lot across from the one im in running and waving at me to come here. I pretend like i never saw him and quick made my turn and cut through campus and into a parking garage. I was not about to get a reckless driving ticket for donuts in a wide open parking lot.
