I dont think this post is here to comdemn Kevin but to look at the other past accidents that has happened. Yea it might have been their faults but do we have to be so cruel just because the kid was so young? Have some sympathy people. Just because you dont know the person does not mean you have to bash on them and ridicule them. I think they learned their lesson the hard way. Let it be. The kids been in a coma for a long period of time and who knows what other disabilities he might suffer due to his accident.
Next kid that gets in an accident just be nice. Remember it could be you or anyone you love dearly in the same position oneday...

Well you mean to tell me you have not street raced once? Im pretty sure when Kevin was involved in the race he felt pretty confident about his driving skills. Even with the most skilled drivers things can happen and it will not be pretty. Unless you were never involved in street racing, speeding above the Speed LIMIT, and you obey every single traffic law you have no right to say anything.

Plus, the damage is done in this case. It's kinda enough of an example that he died. Why bash a dead man. He can't take it back or try again.

I have never, do not, nor ever will street race. Speak entirely for yourself please.
I have an impeccable driving record after 20 years and I keep it that way because I don't use the road as my own private race course.

If I lose control of my car it'll be beacause someone else caused me to. Sorry, but I simply don't drive like that - you might, but I don't.

The only racing I've done is on a circuit or a closed course. And I know how dangerous racing can be because you become fixated on the car you're racing, and you don't pay attention to other things going on. Moreover, you tend to push yourself over the limit when competing against other cars. Racers call it the "red mist". That's when you get in trouble. And the risk is magnified by the uncontrolled situations of street racing.

There's about 10 other posters in here who said what I said, no less, no more. No one is bashing Kevin here, simply pointing out the facts.
My sympathies do go out to his family and friends, they really do. What happened is horrible, whichever way it happened.
The OP made a good point (one that many other members agree with), so be it.

So why are you worried about having a better throttle response? Accelerating up to the speed limit it just as dangerous as maintaining a speed 30mph+ above the speed limit. Why would you want a increase in performance if you don't plan on using it? Unless of course you plan on tracking your car.

People mod there cars for many reasons, most of which are to 1 up the next guy. Not all people mod there cars so they can go out on the freeway and look for a race. A lot mod because they just want to have more HP than the next guy. Bragging rights. The analogy of going 5-10 mph over the speed limit and someone racing another car on public roads is rediculous !!! Dont get pissed if you play with fire and eventually get burned!!!!
