Just make sure that if you are seen by the cops that you are doing over 150 mph. Their cars are only factory tuned so if you can do better that 120 mph they don't even try.

All right. You each got a barrel to go around down at the end of the road here. Second wave gotta sit tight till your partner crosses this line right here. First team to go down and back twice wins the race... at which point, the losers WILL hand over them keys. Otherwise, you'll be eating breakfast through straws from now on. biggrin

It's a shame it looks like the Fast and the Furious 17 gear gearknob may also make an appearance in Rush.

I don't visit Pistonheads for two days and the calibre of posting seems to have dropped to 4chan levels of immature, inane and unhelpful nonsense?

The guy has asked a car enthusiast type question on a car enthusiast webiste and has been met with nothing but trolling bks, save for maybe 3 posts. In a thread with 175 replies and counting that is VERY poor form PH...

'Offered out' sounds like pub fighting or handbag swinging talk to me.

There was no mention of a venue for such a competition so one could be forgiven for assuming it was to happen on a public road.

How do you factor out the differences in drivers in such hypothetical scenarios?

Most car forums seem to actively discourage and distance themselves from racing on public roads and even mentioning such driving and enthusiasm online can have consequences, look at 10_Pence_Short's Prison Diary thread.

It's because you haven't been here to keep us all in line.
