each time he says "i put another car on him" it means that he is a car length ahead of the cobalt (approx. of course). in other words he is pulling away from him each gear he shifts through.

I raced my buddies 92 talon tsi all wheel drive with a jdm cyclone engine and I beat him by a car and a half. He did a 5,000 rpm drop so he had me on the launch but once I shifted I had him already. I did a 2,500 rpm drop and my car is completed stock except for 3 inch exhuast from turbo back.

congratulations, what did you win?? nothing
street racing is bad enough, but it still is somewhat a controld situation
cuz u got a long straight line with no cars,

but using stoplights and turning regular streets to your very own racetrack
for what?

hoping that everycar is paying attention to you dumbasses, or maybe you'll bet lucky the car that you might hit there's no kid in the backseat

i get a lot of pple doing that to me, and i guessing everybody in this forum too, sh!t you are driving a supra, thats like an open invite

but its up to the driver to do the right sh!t

remember you're jus not putting yourself in danger, think about other pple on the road

yes street racing is bad. i dunno if anyone heard but there was a couple killed in vancouver, they were coming back from there 17th aniversary i believe and got hit from the side by a street racer going 140km/h through a red light. they also had a 7 year old kid that has no parents now.. and now people caught street racing, it is seen as a criminal offence and there cars will be CRUSHED and they will not get any money for there car.. but i think thats just mainly in big cities where the street racing is organized. sure, i race on the streets but, its either at a set of lights, just a straight drag, i rarely go much over the speed limit(20km/h over), i never run red lights or stop signs and i dont swerve in and out of traffic. just use ur head. i love that feeling when you own a civic.. then again, it is a civic..

I dunno, Ive raced many many people, sometimes to over 80 mph, and i would never consider doing it if not safe. I have never once come close to crashing while racing someone. So i dont know how many people die and crash doing that, Ive been doing it for a year now with not much driving exp (im only 19) and i still have a good sense of saftey and common sense. Its just dumb people that give us a bad name

And to add to the race stories, I beat a regular cobalt SS (non s/c) and i shit stomped him. It wasnt that slow, but not as fast as id expect a brand new car with 170hp to be. Imagine in 20 years, when the supras are 40, and people still have em and if there still faster than some of the cars on the road, how cool that would be.

Yes, everything should be controlled by the anti-fast driving people and we should always drive below the speed limits to save gas or just walk so we will never endanger anyone.....give me a break. Get the drunks off the road, get rid of hand guns and assault rifles, then maybe you can lobby against street racing.

Most of us know when and when not to race. It has been going on ever since the second car was built. There are stupid people out there, but there have always been stupid people. I have been driving for over 30 years and have done the occasional street race. I think the most danger I have is avoiding the idiots using their cell phones and driving.....now that combination will kill people!

yeah, in a semi controlled track, as in streel racing at its best, where you can prove your car without endangering pple that have no clue what going on arounf them

its safer in there, for years i have been going to the same street scene, and never have i seen a single accident

because here , everybody knows that somebody's going to race any moment
everybody knows to look first b4 you go driving on the street,
thats why i can still say and brag about my races

cuz i ddnt endanger anybody but myself

answer me this, did you have anybody clearing the streets ahead that you were driving on when you raced this cobalt?
