    Default Is it worth it?

    https://www.foxnews.com/auto/street-...fatal-accident

    street drag race, crash into 3rd non-participating vehicle killing driver, both drag racers sentenced to life in prison.

    seriously, take it to the track.
    I can understand quick 0-50mph bursts, but don't be an idiot.

    Definitely take it to the track. That said, why race in a downtown area? That's asking for major issues.

    RIGHT!

    at least go out in the country, where all you risk is hitting a deer.

    I saw a fun little race between a focus st and an EcoBoost truck the other day. It was fun when the focus let off around 60.... The truck continued on for a quarter mile+, probably to the 104mph limiter and crossed a intersection at that speed. This was on outer drive, a 35mph road. Moron...

    Hey! It ain't any safer out here! That tends to be the belief, but not the reality!

    That makes me miss my 96 GT (purple 5 speed grey interior).

    I've done a ton of stupid stuff on the roads, never downtown (other than a quick burnout)

    100+ mph is a terrible idea in a city
