it wasn't a big deal it was just a car and then we exit it. Yes he let me drive his car and I took a car from the honda s2000 but that was it. I know how to drive my car and I doble clutch so i could get the full vtec. We both were on first gear and side by side we started.
i think you may be confused as to what "double clutching" actually is. it's basically rev matching, and pointless in terms of performance on modern cars due to the magical synchros.

The power that I have I got it out from a web that it says if you have intake cae & complete exaust it will give 8 hp rear wheel so I guess is like 15 maybe real hp?
a website will not tell you what your car will specifically gain from a mod. each car and mod is different.

and i doubt you're getting even 8whp from JUST a cold air intake and an exhaust.

Based on this statement alone, I doubt he really knows anything about how to drive a car, let alone well.

I'll ask, too .................. What the hell is "doble clutch" and what does it have to do with "getting full VTEC" (whatever this means)?
To add to my original rant, also notice he was looking over at his dad when he came upon the car he had to veer around. Lovely.

Your dad must be a completely nuts to let you drive like that. Does he carry your insurance? I'd advise him that you get your own policy because with driving like that, your going to hurt someone or someone's property and get sued. I'm sure your dad doesn't want to lose whatever assets he might have.

Lastly (and I'll leave this alone finally), the whole double clutch statement is completely ludicrous. As mentioned, double clutching is done to rev match. Done on old cars (like my father's 38 Chevy) which didn't have synchros.

Geez.

What kind of idiot posts a clear picture of their face right before breaking the law and driving recklessly?

didnt we just get done with a thread about someone warning people about posting video footage of stuff like this ?

I think the general response in that thread was that nobody would be that stupid...

no, the response was that in the case of posting video files, the police will probably not use video or a thread posted on a web site to chase down someone for a speeding or racing ticket.

but whatever. this guy is a moron for driving like that and passing a car on the shoulder just to race.
