SS/SC vs. 2006 Civic Si
So I was getting on the freeway this morning on my way to work and along comes a new Si he pulled up next to me on the freeway at about 65mph and punches it, so I give him a good second or two before I go. Then I punch it come back up along side of him pretty quickly and then pass him he stayed pretty close (about 5 lengths) all they way up to about 145mph but then he let off. All in all it was a pretty good race though.

why the hell would you race to 145 ? First off it is death time for all involved in the accident. Secondly in a 1/4 mile you will never get that high in the MPH. I think it is stupid to street race ( i do it too sometimes ) Completely ******* ignorant to race at that type of speed. Just my 2 cents

I'm not worried about you. I couldn't care less if you killed yourself going that fast. I wouldn't feel any pity cause that would be your choice. However I would feel sorry for anyone you took withyou.
Not trying to be an ass and I'm not bashing u directly, thats just how I feel about street racing accidents in general.

I am probly more likely to die walking down the street here than to die in an accident when street racing, I have had 1 friend die walking down the road she got hit by a car doing 70mph and another almost died he got hit on the same road by an off duty cop drunk also doing 70mph. But nobody I know has died street racing.

Sorry, I had to...but yeah I think racing from a roll is silly...but racing up to 145 is just asking for it.

That is the sinlge most ignorant thing I have ever heard. Honestly when I call into the morning show to vote for Monday afternoon moron I am electing you. See my sig and see how likely it is. People like you shouldn't be driving a car at all. lIKE i SAID I TOO street race , very infrequently but still do but to think your chances are better gettting hit walking because one person you know has been killed that way is flat out dumb. Sorry but truth hurts. With this type of mentality I cannot picture you being older than 19
