You have to make sure its a dangerous environment when you do any street racing or you'll get no street cred...

Couldn't be further from the truth. But thanks for your input.

Edit to expand on my post:

IF the the M5/parked car scenario actually happened in real life, i'd probably accellerate with him for 60 feet to show him i could hang, then change lanes to allow him to get over. It's nothing that any of you have never done before. When you guys made mods to your cars, you all wanted to know what you were "on par with." That's all i'm looking for really. I'm not an asshole driver, and i'm not a street racer.

I stand behind what I said. Because you just don't get it. Your whole statement above is contradictory. In that scenario, you DON'T race him at all. It's not safe. And what's worse, is you don't even realize it.

I dont think accellerating with a guy thru first gear then letting him over when there's half a football field to that hypothetical parked car is particularly dangerous, thats correct, so you got me there. I personally think you're taking the "high road" is a bit extreme and not reality, but that's probably just me.

I don't mean any disrespect to the vets here, but i'll repeat, i'm not a street racer. I probably should have found a different hypothetical to try to find an answer to my question. Chalk it up to being a mustang forum :newbie: My bad.

Try that with an LEO or a court magistrate.

This shows some self esteem issues.
I'd say you might want to work on yourself rather than your car at this point in your life :nk:

I really set myself up with this thread didn't I? haha So now I'm:
Irresponsible, careless, and (have) no regard for the safety of anyone.
I'm:
the guy who gives (all mustang enthusiasts) a bad name and image.
And now I have:
self esteem issues (and should) work on (my)self rather than (my) car at this point in (my) life.

Does anyone have anything else to add? LOL Let's hear it!
