There is speeding, wreckless driving, and street racing. There are different citations for doing all of these....even the police distinguish between the three.
Going WOT on the street does not constitute wreckless behavior or street racing. But, lining up at 45 miles per hour, honking your horn, and acellerating to 120 is.

so when you think street racing you think 150 kids that are racing up to 140+miles per hour? because when i think street racing i think catching a light with another mustang and going WOT through the gears till about 65 in a 50mph zone.
Now in THIS scenario, i am doing nothing more then yo if you were to go WOT through a couple gears, the only diffrence is there was somebody next to me doing the same thing.
"There is a difference between sprited driving and street racing."
yea, the difference is that everything else being equal, the only legal difference is if there is somebody doing the same thing next to you it is street racing, if nobody is next to you, it is speeding/reckless driving. (depending on how much over the speed limit you go)
So im just saying, all other variables being equal, under the same under the same circumstances, you "spiritually accelerating" from a dead stop to say 10 over the speed limit is just as bad as accelerating from a dead stop to 10 over the speed limit with someone else in the other lane doing the same thing. The only difference, is that if you were alone and pulled over you might get a small speeding ticket, if someone was next to you like in scenario B, you could possibly get your car impounded felony etc etc.
