It's very unlikely, as street racing is not only illegal, but mention of it banned on NAM.
So I doubt it, Myke.

Still, even a Mini with 300 hp should know better than revving next to a Porsche?
I get guys in Japanese cars revving next to me all the time. I'm in a suit and tie, for heaven's sake! I guess they just missed a shift, but my wife tells me it's some universal signal to race. Huh?

A few months ago I was racing a porsche 911 up an on-ramp (only place you can safely go WOT). I shut down when I hit highway speed, but porsche dude keeps hittin it. He cuts over to the left lane and almost hits a motorcycle highway patrolman! Needless to say he was lit up and I laughed all the way home.

I've never raced in any way - shape or form in my life. It is illegal to run on the sidewalks and the school track is closed to people who can't get under 6's on the mile

I dont consider WOT on an on-ramp as racing. On-ramps are the last bastion of legal acceleration.

True - my wife and I saw it this past weekend, and for what the movie was, it wasn't half bad. (Obviously, you're not going to watch a F&F movie expecting an Oscar contender).

Plus, I'll watch anything with Jordana Brewster in it. She's like a perfect mix of Angie Harmon, Jennifer Connolly, and Demi Moore. I just wish she were a better actress so I wouldn't have to keep watching second-rate movies in order to see her.

I never ever race on the street. I get out of the way of the scofflaws who street race. And the safest place to be when these anti-social types are threatening the safety of our roads is out in front of them. Way out in front.....

EXACTLY !!! And Jordana is definitely hot. Michelle Rodriguez is actually cute herself.
