[QUOTE="Branhammer, post: 15202892, member: 164970"] I have a good solution for you guys that came in here to argue how dangerous street racing is and how stupid people who do it are: There's this button up in the upper-left corner of your browser. It's a little arrow pointing to the left. Click it, and get the **** out of here. It takes a lot less of your time and effort than it does to post these comments that not one solitary person reading this thread gives a single **** about. I really don't know why you guys insist on reading these threads and then commenting. Just don't read it if you don't like it. If you want to have a discussion about how dumb it is, then start your own thread. The OP asked a question. Answer it or GTFO. That being said, I don't street race much anymore for multiple reasons. First, my driving record is directly connected to my career. A DUI or a ticket for racing could get me in deep shit or even end my career (I don't drink and drive ever, BTW). I have raced once in the 2015 against a brand new Audi S3. I didn't know much about S3's. I was not impressed. It was a straight-up beat down. Then I looked up the specs and realized that I would not have wasted my gas/risked a ticket had I known the specs of the S3 beforehand. I do like to just accelerate/drive fast just for fun. I think I've hit about 130 mph so far in the new Mustang on open road with nobody else around. However, the minute there's a car next to you also accelerating, the offense becomes much worse in the eyes of LEOs. Another reason is because, so far in my marriage, my wife has allowed me to keep my testicles attached. If I get a ticket for street racing, they will end up in her purse. The last reason I don't race much is because I never initiate and the cars I would want to race, like Camaros, Vettes, Cobras, etc. are so few and far between and when I do come across them, they don't seem interested in racing. I get lots of stupid vehicles, like stanced out Subarus and lifted HD trucks, trying to start shit, but I'm not wasting gas on those idiots. The muscle/sports/pony car scene in SLC is not all that great. I've still only seen a handful of S550s, only 2 of which were GTs, and I still have not seen another guard metallic besides mine. Also, if you wear a flat-bill hat with hipster glasses trying to look like Lebron James and Sheldon Cooper had a baby together, I'm not racing you, no matter what you drive. The number of typical Subaru douche bags is ****ing astounding around here and all they do is exhaust, BOV, and then stance the shit out of it so that it's practically useless. Then they want to race me. Now THAT is unsafe, so I don't enable it. The safety of others is generally NOT one of the reasons that I rarely do it, because, contrary to the beliefs of some people who choose to derail this thread, not everyone who occasionally street races is stupid/irresponsible.
