Whuddup yall. Before i start, FYI, im a newbie, and im only 16. This happened about a week ago after i've been driving about a month. This guy in a 96 civic is on my a** on the interstate with his highbeams on for about 20 mins. We both get off at the same exit and fortunately the stoplight turns red and were the only cars on the road. the speed limit was 55. He pull up beside me and revs up. I notice he has altezza tail lights, cat-back exhaust, shiny rims, and green neons in the cabin. So im like OK! and was like here is my first street race. So i return the revs. The light turns green and were neck and neck for about 8 seconds, around 75-80 mph, then i see that my automatic tranny is just enough to beat his manual. I gradually am a car length in front of him at 115mph, and i see a reflection from my headlights in the distance. I slam on brakes till im down to 60mph. The guy screams past me and from then on all i could see was blue flashing lights. Close call huh?

Kid, streetracing is not only illegal, but for you it is very dangerous. No offence, but you haven't been driving long enough to be able to respond adequately.
yeah i know, but its my passion. i mean i grew up around it. my brother created O.K. my dad and my uncle are both car junkies. its the least i can do. fyi, i dont do most of my racing on the street. i live 2 minutes away from a drag strip and every friday night i race my friends and other people. i just cant stop. Thanks for your reply

1 month driving experience and street racing passion can equal no good. although I belive most of us have done it, but I havent in almost 3 years now which is real hard sometimes when I know I can beat like 99% of the cars that want to race. Oh well, Im alive and out of jail and intend to keep it that way for a long time.

DaKillahCIVIC,
Trust me i have been in your shoes b4. You have a kick @ss car, and some punk in an integra wants to race. You know that you can take him...after all his car is all stock...on the outside. So you do race him and he's droped a gsr into it. He's 25 and knows how to drive. You end up getting beat. been there done that. But what about the one time that someone pulls out from a side street infront of you? Or your scaner didn't pick up the cop on the corner? Or the guy you are racing takes a cheap shot and trys to push you off the road. I know i sound like a mother but like patrick said, take it to the track. If you really love your car you'll play it safe.
