You probably shouldn't be going 120 mph.

actually i've seen a few too many friends die from reckless driving.


and i only used my nitrous 3 times, 2 being at the track. and still i only went 110 miles per hour (at the track) and probably only up to 80 the other time.


besides. if it takes you 2 miles to get to 120 miles per hour, you probably shouldnt be pushing your v6 to the limit.

Agreed.

Street racers and wreckless drivers are idiots. They're *****'s are too afraid to to take their car to the track...now grow a pair and keep that **** off of the streets.

Okay okay, I know it was dumb. I was showing off in front of some friends and I wanted to make a cool video. I don't normally drive like that. It probably was like 115 +/- 2mph. I think 4th gear read-lines at like 118mph and it didn't red-line, but who knows.

As for King, I did take it to the track and ran a solid 16.5 - 16.7 with 5 runs. Nothing too spectacular.

I don't give a **** what you ran at the track. Just keep that **** there. The last friend I had that decided to show off in front of some friends was driving his STI somewhere in the triple digits late at night, lost control and ended up killing his girlfriend and himself. He wasn't the type who did that all of the time either y'know. He was a good kid, and because of one poor decision ended two lives.

Dude, calm down. I can do what I want with my life. I knew the risks involved when I decided to make that video. It was dumb and I most likely wont be doing that again.

All of the lights on that street, I think they're 3 of them and they all turn at 5 second intervals from the starting light to the ending light. If you go when the light at the starting area is red, by the time you get to the end the light will be green. They take like 45 seconds to change from green to yellow to red plus the 15 seconds of interval changing. That I know for sure. Oh and I know it was dumb. I was lucky as hell nothing happened because if something minute did happen, **** would have hit the fan for good. It would have most likely been game over.

You want to know why I'm so anti this sort of crap? In 5 and a half years I've buried seven friends, had two more lose their legs, and watched another 3 (maybe 4) friends get charged with vehicular manslaughter...because they drove just like you did in the video. Let me tell you man, it's no fun to bury a friend - nor is it fun to watch two friends who were amazing in highschool sports and definitely had a bright future ahead of them lose their legs because a fellow student from their school pinned them in-between her pickup and their suv after spinning from driving wrecklessly late at night...and it's still no fun to watch your friend in court confess to a accident victims family that it was their poor judgment that took their son/daughter.

I know at the time you feel invincible and think nothing could happen to you...and I realize it's a very in-the-moment kind of feeling, but think about that the next time you decide to drive like an idiot. Showing off for your friends is fun, I get that. But be smart about it. They have racetracks for a reason...if you've really got the need-for-speed go there. But if you refuse to drive safely, then enjoy being another statistic.

not to be insensitive...but it looks like your friends couldn't drive for ****, or they were all really unlucky. Thats just a retardedly high number of buddies to get dead or fucked up from acting a fool on the street. What you have experienced is very uncommon.

I'm all for a nice WOT run on an empty road with no places for cars to enter infront of you. I may have had some fun on my way driving up to NC yesterday....
