Local Street Encounters
First - street racing is wrong & illegal.
If you exceed the posted speed limit for just a couple seconds, perhaps you may not get caught (for a while). That being said, I do not condone crazy behavior or reckless driving...
A few days ago, I was in a hurry and launched when the stop light turned green. I guess the Mustang GT with several aftermarket parts heard the exhaust a few cars behind in the next lane. Anyway, it was that once-a-year happen-stance where the next light turns red, and both cars stop at the head-of-the-line. It was a young lady with a guy-friend in the passenger seat. There was no indication (revs) during the red light that they had any interest in this S. When the light turned green, we left gently. A few yards further, she really laid into it. I was still in first, took it to redline, then made a near perfect shift to second. Because they took "first blood" I was only able to keep pace. When second gear was near the limit, they backed off (hey we were at the posted speed limit or so...)
Honked & waved to each other. Great fun. Geez, these cars are fast.
Drive safe.

ran into a new yellow dodge viper on brentwood blvd heading south tonight. as soon as i saw him in the left lane, i raced up behind him to check his car out. i think that got his attention and he gunned his engine a few times... damn, i love the sound of that v10 rumble. 
he went left at manchester though and i had to go right... wish this encounter was on a deserted highway.. would have been fun to try and follow him...
