I dunno, Ive raced many many people, sometimes to over 80 mph, and i would never consider doing it if not safe. I have never once come close to crashing while racing someone. So i dont know how many people die and crash doing that, Ive been doing it for a year now with not much driving exp (im only 19) and i still have a good sense of saftey and common sense. Its just dumb people that give us a bad name
And to add to the race stories, I beat a regular cobalt SS (non s/c) and i shit stomped him. It wasnt that slow, but not as fast as id expect a brand new car with 170hp to be. Imagine in 20 years, when the supras are 40, and people still have em and if there still faster than some of the cars on the road, how cool that would be.
