P1 should eat it alive running that power the same as my classic does but boy racing on public roads has long past me by and it's dangerous but I'm not your dad so who am I to tell you what to do!

So you did a launch whilst stopped on a dual carriageway? Sounds pretty stupid to me, in fact the whole idea of coming on a forum in the first place to say you've had a street race sounds pretty stupid.

So you buy a fast car ^ and drive it fast everywhere? Just because you have a quick car doesnt mean you have to drive it like a tit. And if you do, dont come on a public forum trying to show off.

Yeah course you did. I agree about the cars being fun when the time is right but fast and the furious is not cool.
