Thats what Im talking about if you use restraint you will be alright in most cases.
what makes you say i haven't seen a real street race? i have, i didn't race there but i have.(i know the locations where people meet and everything).
btw anything can go wrong, whether its a new car or an old 1, just anything can happen, a bump on the street(member that enzo?, supposely an almost legal place to do so, lucky the guy was in an enzo, make that a mustang or a trans am, guy wouldn't have survived), little bit of oil can make a car spin out @ high speed, then the car can go right into crowds or just anybody that may be passing around.
