cop ownage. seriously, that is quite pathetic.

[G_whizz]

The whole time I was like

Wouldn't it be so cool if one of them hit a mini van carrying a family of kids and killed them all in a horrific crash!!!

Or a small animal ran out in the middle of the road and the car with the camera was able to catch it on film as it skidded off the rioad and flipped like 10 times in the air then wrapped itself around a tree!!!

Then I got to 3:38 mins. and I was like oh ok...even better...

Is there no track near by that you can do this at??

[phil4watching]

So how much is the ticket for?

[Team Punisher]

most of what you saw was between 75-90.. everyone using blinkers.. when we did open it up as uou can see, we were the only ones on the road!! Some of us do know how to drive our cars!! Some of us just like talking about them!! No one even came close to an accident!!! And that mini van could be hit by anyone even someone doing 75mph could cause an accident!!! and i don't belive the little animals check your speed before they jump on the road!!!I HATE HIPOCRITES ONLY IF YOU HAVE NEVER DRIVEN BEYOND THE SPEED LIMIT SHOULD YOU BE OPENING YOUR MOUTH!!Please delete my account while i am still able to bite my tongue....

As i watched the video, I was afraid that something would go wrong. I just kept asking, " where are the cops when you need one?". As crazy as I am sometimes, I have never done anything like this before. And even when I go fast, i don't sustain it for more than 1 minute (max). And how could these guys be so oblivious of the fact that cops could be hiding anywhere?

Certainly, on my secret track, those guys could not do the same thing they are doing on a public road. They would have crashed at those speeds. My secret track requires extra sound tires.

Team Punisher:

I am probabaly one of the craziest around here with my G-35 Coupe, but I certainly discourage weaving through traffic at those speeds simply because the margin of error is so small, especialy knowing that some of those Gs may not have sway bars or stiffer suspensions, which should make them more responsive. In essence, you were all weaving through traffic with cars that were not as responsive. I am not here to judge you.

I have a twisty track in my area I go to, but i only do so on weekends in the early mornings and evenings, when there is virtually no car on the road, and then you get the fun of seeing what the G is capable of. And by the way, I go at it with super bikes, of which there are a few who like the secret track.

Take your car to a twisty track and see what your car is capable of. And when I go fast, its not just for fun, I do so to study and see how my car behaves under different conditions--I personally love to test things and report on them so that others may know what is possible.

Speed, as I have found out, isn't what its all made out to be. I would rather have a slightly slower car with great handling. Any car is fast on a straight way, but not every car can handle twisties very well.

I am sorry if you feel we are judging you, but I think you will need other perspectives as well o this act of dissafety. I maybe crazy with my car but I have limits/boundaries to that madness--in short I have a bounded madness. I didn't see that with the way you were all driving. And when I go fast, I also let others know, becasue there may something I discovered about our Gs as a result of that experience, and I report it. But what you guys where doing had no intrinsic benefit other than to go fast--so what was the point?

If you want to know and see real and professional driving, search on these forums and you will see GWoods drag racing his G-35 or Kenrik going at it on a track. These are excellent drivers on this forum. Even I , in spite of my experience, still hold these guys in awe.

LMAO...this is teh internetz pal... if you are this sensitive to peoples opinions on the internet.. you should not be on forums. So take a pill..

Yeah I saw you guys use your blinkers... that makes total sense when street racing, I'm sure it makes a world of difference

Because you didn't come close to an accident THIS TIME doesn't make it right.. you are endangering peoples lives.. PERIOD. If you can't admit that to yourself...I call you ignorant.

That is correct, little animals can't detect speed, but maybe if you did hit one at 70MPH instead of 146 or whatever speed it was. Your car may skid off the road and only roll twice instead of 10 times...so you may live to talk about it.

Theres a difference between going beyond the speed limit and downright flooring it on a public road. You were racing...PERIOD. I do not "race" on a public road, therefore I am not a hypocrite.

I will not delete your account, you can simply choose to ignore my opinions and chat amongst the other members. Or, you can simply not just log in anymore. Maybe you need a day to cool off. I don't know because I don't know you and the type of person you are.

Good day..

[Sentientbydesign]

I respect your desire to push your G to it's top speed and I've been EXTREMELY tempted to do so at times, but I know for a fact that I'd get caught and my insurance would go back up to the $6k/yr that it was at before my wife took care of things.

I'll admit that I've street raced before. Hell our first SoCal G meet had Yerv and I going WAY over the speed limit on Pacific Coast Highway. We ended up losing 3 of the other G guys because of how fast we were going.

I honestly don't have a suggestion for your need for speed. I know that track racing just doesn't feel like street racing. Going in a circle (however twisty it might be) just doesn't do it for me, but the possibility of endangering other people, crashing my G, getting a serious traffic violation, or dying just doesn't jive well with me. So I keep the speeds under 100 for the most part.

[Team Punisher]

Been on a track before loved it.. will go again.. Some of you think becuse you have your special little spots that it is safe... thats why there called accidents... you know they can happen any time any place. I have been driving for 35 years with only 3 accidents 2 minor ones 1 bad and i drive more than 130,000 a year for work and 10,000 to 12,000 just for driving..Just becuse you think what you are doing is safe it don't mean s***. What happens when some kid on a bike just so happens to be out there and becuse you think theres nobody out there you hurt someone!!! They say that people that get used to driving a certain route are more likely to have an accident Becuse they ASSUME the road is clear!!!

Sorry to break it to you, but you're going to be hard pressed to find many people on this forum that support street racing. To address your "HIPOCRITES" (sp Hypocrites btw) statement. Having done it in the past and growing up and realizing it is stupid, reckless, immature and irresponsible, does not make one a hypocrite. I have done it in the past, when I was younger, then I grew up, had a kid, got sent to Afghaniraq, and realized that no matter how safe I "THOUGHT" I was being, I was still an idiot cause there are more factors on the road than just my car and I in that equation. Tire speed ratings, blow outs, oil slick, animals, other drivers, and I'm sorry, but I don't feel like being responsible for someone losing their mother/father/son/daughter/brother/sister/wife/husband. I apologize for being blunt about it, but either way you slice it, you fail for trying to defend your position on doing WELL in excess of 100 mph on a public road.

First, I HARDLY would call getting into a wreck racing down the highway at 156 an accident had that happened. Secondly, I am a firm believer that the VAST MAJORITY of Traffic Collisions are NOT accidents, they are crashes. Due mostly in part to the fact that, once again, the VAST MAJORITY of them could be avoided had the driver been paying more attention to what he/she was doing. In this day in age we have WAY too many driver distractions, people playing with touch screen DVD head units, changes stations, digging for CD's, eating/drinking while driving, talking on cell's, texting people (this one just blows my mind, you might as well just call the damn person, it's less distracting than taking your eyes off the road to spell out, "lol b thr at 8", doing make up, shaving, fixing your tie, picking your nose, popping a zit... the list goes on.

I too now only race on the track, going to the Nurburgring with some buddies this Saturday in fact to check out the ADAC 1000km race and afterwards take our cars onto the Northloop for a couple of laps.

Many states have an "in excess or 100mph is jail time" law, too bad either they didn't catch you going that fast or this just isn't the case in New England. Sure did put a smile on my face to see the end of that video though.

[Team Punisher]

Thank you all for your opinion ...Like ******* i guess it's good we all have one..I'll keep the speed down and you gals keep your panties from getting in an up roar!!! OK

[bentrod]

Mmmmmmmmmm 156? I thought G's came with a speed limiter that stopped you at 155?

[AddictionG35]

Not to worry, my panties almost never get in an uproar, even when I'm screaming around a track at well over 100mph. In the mean time, I'll be hoping that you get jailed real soon so that it's one less threat to the rest of us with families on the roads, just hope something worse doesn't happen to you.

[joe603]

Street racing can end like this: zerothread/359176

[Sentientbydesign]

Joe,

I appreciate and agree with you, but the negativity is a little thick this late in the game.

Ray,

My early commentary is about as much "support" as you're going to get on this matter. Realize that this community is comprised of mostly professional, mature men. Not honda ricers.

The honda ricers would be awe inspired. Some would tell you that they went faster than you in the quarter mile and they can't give you an exact MPH because their speedo doesn't go past 85 and there was a freak accident that cut power to the radars at the track and then the police impounded their car later that night for being too fast on the track...

[joe603]

Joe,

I appreciate and agree with you, but the negativity is a little thick this late in the game.

It wasn't meant to be negative, per say....more of what can happen to even a superior handling car like the late model corvette.

Be careful guys!

[AddictionG35]

Maybe so, and if you are looking for an apology than I am sorry for getting so frustrated with this topic, Nate. As I'm sure many of you may know, I don't really get involved in a lot of "heated arguments" on these boards, and try to stay neutral and laid back. But this is just one thing that really fires me up. Being a single father, and almost leaving my son without out a father twice, once while deployed and then again only a few short months later when I got home due to an idiot on the streets. Thankfully the only thing that got hurt was my G and my arm from the airbag. I have no sympathy for idiocy and people out there endangering peoples lives.

[AddictionG35]

Lol, I think he was referring to "ME" Joe and not "YOU" Joe.

And on second thought, while I do apologize for getting so frustrated, I don't really feel it was "negative" so much as the blunt and honest truth. One thing that is reiterated time and time again on these boards is the freedom to opinion, without flaming or thread jacking. This wasn't a, hey check out my car re-badging thread that turned into a debate about badging(Sorry Noah ), this was a thread about street racing. And people voiced their opinions on the matter.

+1 on that

and as far as crazy driving most of you know me and my friends from my videos, the things we do. i get the same response from some. butt i wouldnt do all that in heavy traffic thats all im going to say about that. now as far as the comment on the video itself that was a fail too..simple clear cuts no bkgrnd music no transitions and ya good day to ya sir. but id like to see more of what you have. you can pm links or w.e.

Sorry Joe,

I meant the other Joe. Look at the reply title. It was in response to Addiction.

[AddictionG35]

Haha, yeah, I've seen the guys give you a hard time on numerous occasions. But then again, I've never seen you try to defend what you do as though it's perfectly harmless either.

[ugaexploder]

i wanna see this video lol

endangering lives isn't cool, but it really doesn't sound like this guy was endangering lives...the majority of accidents/collisions/crashes/whatever don't happen from high speed highway runs...if you think they do, then you're retarded

most accidents happen in slow traffic. people running red lights doing makeup, texting, talking....stuff like that. I've seen at least 15 accidents excluding a couple of my own. All of them have been on the streets except for 2.

1 of the 2 was an old grandpa running into the cement divider and causing a 10 car pileup...the other on the highway was in tight traffic in atlanta and a suburban got rear-ended...

some of you need to chill the hell out on ostracizing people for stuff that's not as dangerous as you evaluate.

[AddictionG35]

Wow, it is absolutely amazing to me how some people can down play doing 150+ as "stuff that's not as dangerous as you evaluate." Goodnight guys, it's time I log for the evening before I really get angry and say something I may regret.

[smockers83]

Its not that we don't like going fast, its just that NICO condemns street racing of all types, and most of the members here will do the same. I think you've been here long enough to have seen other reactions to street racing, but I could be wrong. Your profile says you're 51, do you tell your wife (if you're married) everything that you do? Not saying to treat us like your wife, but my point is just that sometimes you have to learn what you can and cannot say, and if you do say those things, expect criticism and condemnation. I haven't seen the video so I can't really comment on what happened, but I'm just sayin.

[ugaexploder]

it's funny how you take the most irrelevant part of my post and reiterate to piss yourself off

[joe603]

I've seen much worse here on Atlanta's 285...It really didn't have a lot of traffic weaving; the speeds were just high for long periods of time.

[ugaexploder]

285 is a suicide mission sometimes isn't it Joe?

[AddictionG35]

Most irrelevant part? The entire purpose of your post was to say that most wrecks happen at low speeds due to inattentiveness, not at high speeds, therefore "some of you need to chill the hell out on ostracizing people for stuff that's not as dangerous as you evaluate." They dude self admittedly did 156. I don't find that, "not as dangerous" in the slightest. Had he wrecked, it would have been a lot more than a fender bender in rush hour stop-n-go traffic cause he was texting.
