Thanks, I never had any idea... Why stop at street racing, there are many other unnecessary and dangerous activities we can put an end to.

I drive a 305HP car every day. Have I ever sped? Yep. But guess what, that doesn't make me wrong about street racing.

It doens't make you wrong (as I stated), it makes you a hypocrit.

CL, you have a bizarre concept of hypocrisy. You feel sympathy to the point of outrage for all these people who have died, yet you have no qualms about putting innocents in harms way yourself. If even a handful of people are needlessly killed, isn't that enough reason to cut it out? And don't bring up the thousand other ways people die every day, this thread is not about that. You're using slippery slope arguments.

I simply don't feel like death is just punishment for poor judgement. Did they know the risks? Probably. Does that make it any less of a tragedy? How many times have you done something as senseless and happened to walk away. Should you have died instead?
I have no qualms about putting innocents in harms way... Give me a fucking break. I'm not drag racing through playgrounds, ok? At least give a legitimate argument. My qualms are with people stirring up trouble for no reason. We all know it's wrong, illegal, dangerous, risky... So are many other things that kill many other people and they go on too. Save your energy for more constructive battles and choose the appropriate arena. Virtually everyone posting in this forum would be spawn of satan in your eyes.
I'm the guy that slowed to 60 in the fast lane to let a semi over tonight. I'm the guy that always uses his turn signals and always comes to complete stops. I'm the guy that averages no more than 5mph over the speed limit... I'm also the guy that's going to show you the ass end of my EVO if you pull up next to me with an attitude.

My point was this, and as much as you don't want to believe it, it's true and I've documented it: if you feel the need to drag race and THEY crash and kill someone, YOU could go to jail. So no matter how good a driver you are or how safe the circumstances seem, you are potentially facing prison time every time you decide to "bust a 350Zs ass".
Take it to the track and prove it like a man, don't put other people's lives (and your future) in jeopardy.

You haven't proved anything. He was "charged" and yes, he might be found guilty. It's a tremendously flimsy case, but it's possible, sure... I'm potentially facing prison time for some the of the language I've used. But I don't think I have to fear dropping the soap, understand?
On a deserted road a 350z wanted to play. I let him lead and when he took off, I followed suit. I started 3 car lengths back, pulled up next to him and immediately backed off only to watch him stay in it until 130 or so. I proved my point, I'm faster... Shoot me and do the world a favor, k?
Jesus, why don't you just go after the film makers of trash like The Fast and The Furious that have incited such behavior?
