    It's fun to mess with little rice burners but they get pissed when I slow down and let them go by at around 80. I figure I proved my point by then and I don't wanna be crazy driving 100+.
    It's also funny to hear them using (wasting) nitrous to no avail!

    Don't let this become the typical street racing argument thread...

    Everyone has been warned.

    Can we not talk about street racing now? Or is it just those threads where people say that "my stock neon killed a 04 Z06 vette"? Just wondering cuz I like a good kill story every now and then LOL. :nice: Ok now before you answer, I will say that I usually try and shut it down by the speed limit or 5-10MPH after...HOWEVER given the right situation I have been known to take it to 125MPH. :D

    Street racing is just too dangerous not to mention the 2005 Mustang black box will rat you out if you wreck...

    I had forgotten about the onslaught of the government interfering with my driving.

    Does anyone know if that thig can be removed or programmed out of use or something.

    That seems to suck, when do we start getting tickets with no cops around???

    I do not recall looking at the speedometer when I am racing.

    When I have 20 car lengths on them, I stop.

    You hear them using nitrous :confused:
    If youre doing something illegal at least be smart about it. Dont go 120+ in a 40 zone. For me personally it depends on the situation. I am willing to take it up a lot higher on an empty strech of highway than a 2 lane road with frequent lights around town.

    My guess is he is speaking of the obligatory "purge" they must do to scare you from racing them. :sleep:

    My only question is, why do they do it before and then again after I have spanked them?

    So you're not allowed to tell people who street race that they're idiots? :shrug:
