We need to call APD and report illegal street racing, and have them show up to see us using the stop light on the extension as the ‘flagger’ and only race to 55 :rofl

What would they do? Could they actually arrest us if the tires didn’t screech or anything and we never went above the posted limit?

I think it would be amazing, we should try this one weekend night… :rofl

It’s still an illegal speed contest even if you don’t speed…

Yeah but how could they prove it was a speed contest? If you’re just accelerating from the green light, and no tires are screeched/no burnout, then how could they say it’s a street race?

The SS isn’t a good dig racer, he has to feather it for fear of breaking it. Myself, on the other hand, I don’t give a shit. Plus it’s very seldom that automatics break rear ends because there is preload. That’s my race.

learn to drive the thing. his car puts out a bit more than stock since its not tuned… you can preload the clutch and all that. i understand the torque converter cars are easier on it, but ive been hearing about this thing breaking forever. and every thing ive seen about the 6speed breaking is on slicks or some type of sticky tire
