First off, welcome to another 7th gen. However, I must correct your signature. There is no such thing as a 1.8 iVTEC engine. There is no K18. You have a 1.7 SOHC VTEC, the D17A2.

Second, if you're 16 and just got your license a month ago, you have absolutely no business street racing. That is all. You are just learning how to drive a car, much less control one at its limits. If you're going to keep doing it, be careful or take it to the track. 16 year olds have no business racing on the street.

Oh come on, a monkey can shift from 2nd to 5th or slam the gas down on the interstate. As long as hes just doing a small light to light or a quick run on the interstate not goin over 105, nothings gunna happen. Like I said, its not like hes weaving in and out of traffic or switching lanes or anything. Hes just driving in a straight line.

Just because you're going in a straight line doesn't mean you can't lose control of the car. Just a few months ago, two kids that went to my old high school were racing on Hwy 364 and they lost control. The car flipped and they both died. They got what they deserved and I'm just glad that they didn't kill some innocient person that was on the highway at the same time. I don't see how I, of all people, am the only one that isn't condoning his actions.

Thanks se7en for ure corrections. I dunno where i got 1.8L from. lol. But i do have to disagree. 16 year olds have all the right in the world to race on the street. They just need to know the consequences of what they were about to do. I wouldn't have done what i did if i knew it was unsafe. There were no other cars on the road and i knew all of the consequences. I thought of all of the "outs" just incase something did happen. The I also know the area in which i did the racing. And also, i know how to control my car. i have pushed it to its limits on the track, and im not about to do it on the street and endanger peoples' lives. i knew what i was doing.

Fair enough, just as long as you don't choose rush hour or anytime there are many people out. Thinking of all the possible "outs" is a good thing to do. You have to slow everything down in your mind, that's what I do. I've seen things happen way too many times. I mean shoot, an LS1 Camaro SS that I was racing a year or so ago ripped the 2-3 shift while he was in some water or something and it spun out and hit a lightpole. The right side of the car nearly disintegrated and it was a good thing that I was a couple cars ahead of him when it happened. I kept a piece of his wheel that disintegrated during the accident, and it sits on my workbench as a reminder.

WHATS UP WITH THE DUDE (SE7ENSECTOOLATE) SAYING THOSE KIDS DESERVED TO DIE? THAT IS RETARTED AND COLD. YOU OBVIOUSLY DONT UNDERSTAND THE HEART THAT GOES INTO TUNING THESE CARS. WE SHOULDNT BE TEARING EACH OTHER DOWN HERE. THIS POST IS ABOUT BRAGGING RIGHTS. WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO TO SAY THAT SOMEONE DESERVED TO DIE DOING SOMETHING THEY LOVED. IT IS UNFORTUNATE IT HAPPENNED BUT UNNECESSARY FOR THEM TO BE SPOKEN OF IN THAT MANNER. GET A LIFE, LOOSEN UP, OR SHUT UP. I DONT WANT TO HEAR YOUR NEGATIVITY

The driver and passenger were drunk. Not only did they drive drunk, but they raced drunk. It's called natural selection if you ask me. They knew the consequences and did it anyway. They did get what they deserved. Like I said before, I would've felt sorry if they hit some innocient person. Yes, I do understand what goes into a car. I've put countless hours into mine. Get a life and stop thinking you know everything. You don't know a thing about me or my car n00b. If you don't like my take on it, then don't read it.

street racing accidents and single car drunk driving accidents weed out the bad drivers and morons.
