You will live long enough to see the end of street racing. More cameras everywhere = no more racing if they can just send you the fine in the mail the next day

Street racing will never end like illegal drugs will never end. People know their is a harsh punishment but they just dont care.

okay guys, he "raced" an IS and beat him in a curve. kudo's to you sir. do i approve of it...eh. do i discriminate...no. i've done my share of street racing like us all. i don't think he was trying to start crap, just telling people he raced a douche in an IS. it'll be okay guys...shake the sand out of your man-gina's and it'll all be okay.

im guessing you thought the is was rice due to the tails. they all have them though. I dont mind them as much on the cars. but I think if you really went head to head with a is 300 he would eat you if it had a person who could drive worth a damn. they are nice cars man. as for street racing man be safe. if you are out getting video of you running the car hard do it in a closed lot or something. but you are going to do what you are going to do just be safe. I used to drive like a retard and would run the car hard anytime, that all changed when I t boned a car went over a concrete median into oncoming into a semi

[shizzle] happens and it changes how you drive fast.

we have a road with lights nad such that turns into a highway ( this was done there) the speed limmit after it turns to highway is 70 ( where I raced the dude )

I seriously doubt it had hte supra engine in it. It was Bright yellow - with a BIG wing not a small one. asfor the series number I didn't get it. and like you said had the car been under a good driver mayb he would of blown past me but alot of people drive not knowing or even imaginining the limmitations of their cars. thats a fact. and I'm not just talking about 0-60... and I seriously doubt this was some rich kid though it was the OLDER model IS.. as in mayb 2k1. or 2k.

and I dont know he was the first one to launch it he stood next to me and than hit hte gass

my cousin has an IS300. I believe it's an 02. I raced him one day not knowing that he bought one. I saw the car coming up fast so I drop it to 3rd. He gets side by side and I blip the throttle to show I want to run. He floors it and I floor it almost the same time. From 3rd gear starting @70mph through 4th gear I beat him by about 1 1/2 car lengths. I found out it was him about 2 months later when we had a party and he said it was him I raced. He had exhaust and I don't know if he had intake or not. I forgot to ask him. It was a good run though.

	the lack of a cupholder just makes it that much more like a Ferrari "If you haven't seen the future, you haven't gone FAST enough."
