That and the traffic these incidents cause...I'm all for the darwin effect, otherwise.

How if I were killed by someone my family would lose everything, or be battling the insurance companies for years.
Yeah, its the aftermath that's typically the worst part. Also, there is always the situation where people may survive an accident, at the cost of being paralyzed, which quickly puts death in perspective. No thanks.

The the person that hit me would get away with a few days in jail, the next week their parents would buy them an even faster car.
So go take some drugs and kill yourself, leave my family out of it!

SOMEBOY - I'm sure you're cool cat and since I don't know you I can't really lecture you. But please take this into consideration, stop acting like a child and start acting like a real man for a change!! SERIOUSLY!!!!!

Street racing are for idi#ts!!! I'm sorry kid...you are one of them now, like I was many years ago. Public roads are not made for street racing, PERIOD!!

So you're still not convinced. I'll try to convince you another way then. Light up a crack pipe (if you don't smoke crack, just fake it) and walk around your local shopping mall for an hour. You think you got enough ***** to do that? I didn't think so. WHY? Cause it's st#pid, no fool is going to do that...1) it's illegal 2) too many people around - you will get recognized 3) Your chance of getting caught is 100%.

Now put that situation in your head next time you decide to street race. Say to yourself, "I only got ***** when I'm behind the wheel of my car but I don't have enough ***** to smoke crack in a shopping mall. I need to change my life and start racing at the tracks vs. public roads. At the track if something does go wrong (God forbid) you only hurt/kill yourself and the driver who has the same passion as you...racing."

Make a change kid...it's time you grow up now before you kill yourself, and more importantly kill innocent people who don't give a sh#t how fast your car can go.

EDIT: In regards to Top Gear....Don't be a follower, be a leader!!!

^ Yeah it did, I'm all for racing. I hold the World Record for the fastest IS350, so I'm all about it. Just not on the streets! So I think the IS350 can beat alot of cars and I have suprised a ton of them at the track. That way I only kill myself and maybe the other idiot trying to beat me. Its fun!

I actually think the thread is still on topic. The word fast is always associated with danger, safety, death, etc...

getting back on topic...

how fast is the is350?

it's not fast enough to cheat death.

keep taking your chances in the streets, and it'll catch up to you. 100% guaranteed.

Honestly, I don't think anyone is hating.

I'm definitely not hating you because I was like you before...I love street racing!! However, after I almost died from street racing, I stop and thank my God he has given me another chance in life.

Having said that I just don't want you to experienced what I went through, so I'm trying to make you avoid it now before its too late.

If I can save one more idiot from killing himself and/or others, I'll take Care Bears as a compliment. hahaha

To be honest, I'm strongly in favor of idiots killing themselves... it's the others part that I have a problem with.

steering this back on topic...

to the OP:

what i'd like to know is why you're so hesitant to run against equal competition, even though you've been beating lesser competition that's not worth mentioning. if you really want to find out how fast your is350 is and to prove yourself as a "street racer", go run against some real competition.

while i'm very reluctant to give such advice, it's obviously you don't get what everyone is trying to tell you. try not to hurt or kill yourself out there, and if you do it's your own undoing.
