i have to say... i've had nights where i was the back seat passenger of a car running in the low 12s drag racing against other rather fast cars on the highway (when i was younger) and all i can remember is getting in the middle, buckling all 3 seat belts, and going to sleep... this was a common thing for me back a few years as i was the builder and planner of the group ...
i never did find much fun in it though ... i just liked building them ... going along for the ride was just chance to be around my friends.

but when i got my xf i found something i really did enjoy ... taking rather low speed corners with great finesse and getting the sensation of pure *** hauling around that corner.

btw, many of you will be glad to know the street racing has largely been dismantled in this area by organized police strikes where they would impound many of the cars ... i can't say i disagree with it, there was plenty of not very street legal cars being driven by shady characters around ... things i would not trust doing 25 mph in going way faster ... aka, duct tape racers ... strap a engine in it and go, but lacking braking power and traction...
