We both get in a lane and drive slow to allow the cars ahead to get far enough ahead. Maybe you guys do it differently around there.
yeah i dont race in traffic either, my town has windy roads or **** load of stop signs, so from stop sign to stop sign is the typical race for me about 0-100mph, easily over that sometimes, sometimes less,

Of course. You always have a camera around except when you run 500+HP cars.

get two extra wheels that will mount on the back of your car and put some slicks on em and only use em when u go to the track.

I believe camarojunky74 just talks a bunch of crap about beating 'stangs to get a rise out of some of the "bluebloods" on here.

however, everyone in this thread including myself are not nut swinging fan boys. some of us actually wrench and build our own cars, myself included, so think before you go running your mouth about this and that on an ls1 site,
i can tell you i have beaten a few cobras on street tires with over 500rwhp
Of course you've never lied. You "built" your 13.4 @ 109 LS1 and beaten a few cobras with over 500whp! SURE!
