Street racing is dangerous. The roads stink for high speed passes, and it puts others at risk that don't even know they are at risk.

But come on, some of the holy posting on this thread have at least pulled the label off of a pillow before.

I raced a guy in fairly highly modified STI through some mountain roads, and the guy was shocked. The STI cornered better, but the cobra had more than enough power to make up for it and the STI could not shake me. There was no room to pass on the two lane road, but I could have easily on the straights if there was room. I stopped at a gas station and the guy pulled in to check out my car and could not stop talking about it. Cool younger guy that was shocked that old technology could outperform his tricked out STI.

BTW, there were no other cars around, and it is a very rural area.
