Either way..

tell me what damage would it do to the car to whip the tail out around a corner or to light up the tires off the line.. i dont think any

i'd think there would be more damage to the car to drive it like a sally, and not show its true potential ahaha

+1. I am not opposed to going pedal to the metal. But on an empty, deserted road -- not in the middle of a very busy highway in an urban area. That's asking for a ticket or an accident.

I completely agree... I do drive irratic sometimes, not really ever doing donuts and burnouts, as my tires were $600(CAN)/each. But if i really want to push it i take it to the drag strip or the track...... BUT there are times that you need to bring your M Beast alive.. like for example last night. Im sitting at a road that is like a highway, but with traffic lights maybe evey 1.5 miles.. and a little riced up 350Z pulls up beside me.. revs his engine and the the light turns green.

Lets just say i think i had about 4-5 car lengths by the top of 1st gear... PEAAACE

Thumbs down

It's just the idea of 2 idiots racing in traffic with innocent drivers all around that makes me mad, as at any time if they lose control they could maim or kill ANY of them senselessly!
