I just totaled my Celi doing 55 or something in a corner (the speed limit at that place was like.. 50-55. The Celi is a good handler, but you never know. Sh*t happens, and if you are racing at that time, thinking you and/or the car is like Superman or something, you end up dead. Or worse.

I could get out of my car in one piece, with hardly any damage AT ALL. Car even flipped over and landed 20 feet away from the road, on it's roof. (check other post for details). My point is.. I survived a crash that should have killed me. If I had been racing at the time, I wouldn't be here today.

You should start to respect the roads and the speed limit a bit more. Atleast when corners are involved. I break speed limit all the time on straight aways, but if the weather is bad, snow, ice, rain or alot of wind. I'm really careful. And messing with corners.. Bad idea!

I really think the guys in NSX or RSX or whatever respected the road and situation a bit more than you, nothing else. On a track, ok.. But on the road/street/highway or whatever.. There is nothing called chickening out, really.. In my book. Because as soon as you step into a car, you are risking your life. When you break speed limit and starts to race, your chances of survival is reduced by alot, IF or WHEN something happens.

I have had my share of street races, but NEVER on twisty roads or around corners. It's not safe on a straight away either, because a little bump is all you need anyway, but the chances to mess up in a corner is alot bigger than on a straight away.

It's really up to how big a risk you are willing to take.
