Ouch i dont think cars are suppose to split in half and this is why u dont street race. Just go to the track and do it couple measley dollars to go there is worth it, think of it as this would you rather pay like 20 dollars or have a 50\50 chance of dieing.

True, however most people that are dumb enough to race on the street pick a road that is not 30mph posted limit and two lanes with trees a foot from the road...

Maybe wasn't used to the hp increase going from a Civic to a Z. Sorry, MeetJoeAsian. At least you still have a beautiful G35c.

hard to say, its the power different of the Z. I used to drive a GTI, and I am not in my 20s...The first month I got my Z i lost control on the freeway. I was not street racing and I was just simply accerating as usual from a ramp..I fish tail at 120km/h, my car went horizontal and I am lucky enough didnt hit nothing and didnt crash anything....after that I took my time to learn how to control the car better..I was a first time rwd driver..so its very different...hope this little kid is fine after all...btw, MeetJoeAsian, is this kid asian?

Street Racing is one thing (I've done it when I was younger and stupid) but going ***** OUT in a race in a 30 MPH road WITH your GF in the car is just plain stupid.

And I'm talking about IF you've had your car for a while.

Want to go fast? Just go get on a freeway, take the next exit, Repeat until you've had enough VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMMM to get your jollies.

well like on the other tread, the guy with the porsch gt crashed with his wife on the track....its hard to say its on a street or on a track...important is knowing how to handle your car..get an instructor if you are new to it..but for sure i agree driving like that on a 30mph is completely idiotic and irresponsable..think abuot others on the street too...

Exclamation

The speed limit and the driver's age are both irrelevant.

Driving a 3,400 pound vehicle recklessly, can be much worse than shooting a gun in a crowded room.

+1

Ppl forget that a 3400 lb car moving at 70 mph has a huge amount of energy. Anything it hits, its going to cause alot of damage.
