droptop do you have a cage? i've passed the 140 marker and it was indeed scary, but exhilarating at the same time. but i had to jump all three lanes on the curvy highways. i don't know if i'll do that again, but everyone should do it atleast once.!

Grey Stang is right, and besides racing should be done at the track and if you have a fast enough car a roll cage is a required safety device, just like seatbelts and a helmet. street racing is a great way to lse your ride 4 ever, I know from experience.
Not to mention if you have a roll cage in a street car most of the time it is actually a safety hazard. One of the reasons all racers wear helmets is because in the event of a crash, your head jerks around and can slam into that metal cage keeping your roof from crumpling in. If you get into even a light crash with a roll cage and no helmet, your head can tap one of the bars near your head and you can say bye bye for good.
