Speed Machine!

[DMVRanger]

After a lotttt of friendly shit talk I red lights raced a 2013 5.0 with some modifications last night and gave this marine a runnnnn for his money! After the Livernois Tune I’m pretty confident with my truck but I wasn’t expecting anything crazy on the 5.0 but when I left him in my DUST I had the stupidest grin on my face! Next red light came and you can guess who ran that one out of frustration! Anyone else suprised at some of the cars they can beat out?!

Sounds like street racing, which is reckless and just plain dumb.

if you want to race, keep it to the track.

Then that one time homeless Bob is wandering down the street and either being drunk comes into the road, or a truck pops a tire and turns him into pudding on the sidewalk.

I see the results of adults making less than stellar choices all the time in my line of work.

People charged with DUI manslaughter never intended to get behind the wheel and pancake someone.

Apparently not. All the tunes and mods are for show or to claim my peter's bigger.

It is a better idea to run it at the track. Too many variables on public roads today.

First of all, enjoy your victory. It was because of driver error, incompetence. Last Car was a '17 RR 5.0 PP. i would smoke any stock or even moded 2.3L in a 4200 lb truck. lolz. I was pushng 460hp in a 3800lb car wearing 275s in the rear. Goodbye. enjoy it, till you meet someone that can drive.

I admit I did all the time before it became a felony. I'd just stoplight race up to the speed limit or a hair over. Then the stupid Fast and Furious movies came out and all the sudden people were doing some really dumb stuff behind the wheel. The crashes and deaths were even more spectacular and horrible. As a result "contest of speed" is now a felony here in Texas. It isn't worth it and you never know what the stranger next to you is capable of.

Taking it to the racetrack would be nice. But you can forget about insurance coverage if something happens. Insurance will also drop you if they find out you were racing your insured vehicle on the track.

But they'll still take your money while you're disputing it, I'll bet.

Just to clarify the above statement. Not wanting to get into the urinary Olympics, just making sure the facts are factual and correct....I thought a felony for street racing was a bit much, but if ya do it multiple times, you will reap what you sow

"As for street racers, they can keep this in mind: Under the Texas Penal Code, illegal street racing is a Class B misdemeanor. Racers who break the law can face jail time of up to 180 days, a fine of up to $2,000, or both.

Street racers also can have their driver’s license suspended for up to one year, and they must complete 10 hours of community service before it is restored.

Repeat offenders can have the so-called book thrown at them. They can be charged with a second-degree felony and have their license suspended. They also can face a fine of up to $10,000, jail time of 2 to 20 years, or both. A third felony offense even could lead to life in prison."
