Jeezus, a little common sense here huh? Are you all so damn cowed that stomping on the gas is a criminal act? Get over yourselves and your FEAR of having a little fun...

Same group of ignorant safety Nazi Shit heads that cry and whine about NOT turning off DSC "EVER" "IT'S SO DANGEROUS." Damn, SELL YOUR BMW, go get in a Volvo, STOP posing as driving enthusiasts and take your soft headed Bullshit Horror Stories to your next "Group" session.

If none of you ever Speed, Stomp on the Gas, or Go Railing through the twisties at well beyond the posted limit???? THEN YOU ARE IN THE WRONG CAR! These cars are about driving, and driving hard, not poser shit heads terrified of their own machines. Certainly the track is the place for roughhousing, no doubt. But if ANY OF YOU say "I never Speed", "I NEVER HIT THE GAS", or "I never Drive aggressively" You are completely full of shit, and a hypocrite...

The OP was talking about a simple little Green light Throttle Stomp, Not a Late light Ricer Fueled, Festival of Stupidity... We've all done it in one form another and this alarmist, reactionary mindset is how speed limits get reduced even further, and how nanny state crap like HP restrictions get tossed around.

Ughh

I started it, but I'll be the one to say this thread needs to die.

Thank you Stinger, Revlis, and the other normal guys
Those of you that are getting all bent out of shape, need to relax.

Seriously, we're not talking about a racing down the road swerving through traffic. It was a quick blast up to 50/55 in a 50 zone. If that's reckless, or wild and crazy in your book... well, that's a shame.

If you want to police the drivers out there, the first one to go "shoot" should be the Tahoe driving soccer mom; on the cell phone, turning around to yell at the kids in the back seat, all while drinking her quadruple soy triple foam slightly hot mocha frappacino. Or what about the senior citizen who's driving 10 under the speed of traffic and causing people to swearve around them when they decide to stop for a turn without signaling?

Jason, can we have this thing locked?

Yeah, I contributed to a thread that mutated into something that missed the point of the original post. My apologies.

Once again, well said. BTW, everytime I read the subject line, I think of South Park's Mr. Mackey saying, "Drugs are bad, M'kay"

Whats the point in having a fast car then??

Let the person who has never done this cast the first stone upon the OP. I can guarantee that we are ALL guilty of it at some time or another. Give the guy a break, he just wanted to share what he thought was a cool story. I really don't understand why this forum is full of teenagers, well-to-do'ers, naggers and generally a bunch of negative shitheads. Just let the poor guy revel in his victory and take pride in his accomplishment. Sheesh
