Yeah, I saw the exageration too, it was like on the 1-2 shift of the last race the guy in the Evo missed a shift or just totally let off the gas and bogged it or something... he really didnt know how to drive.
That video was made in Tampa, I know where they were racing, its really popular because its a 9 mile long bridge with no shoulders, so no place for cops to hide USUALLY. Sometimes those suckers get dropped off on the side of the road at the top of the main bridge, and hide with a radar gun... when they clock u, they radio to the end of the bridge for their partners to nap u. But I guess the racers take one pass at the limit to look for cops, and then u-turn at the end and race back if the coast is clear. of course... if u wreck there, u r screwed, only cement and water to hit.
One more thing, I agree on the maturity of the forums. I have lurked a bit on the Spec V and Civic forums, and lets just say the intelligence level just isnt up to this forum's level. Its like they mostly want to brag on thier cars and trash anything else out there. MOST people here are way more accepting of other makes of cars. The Civic forum was the funniest though, this one 17yo kid went on for like pages about how his mom bought him a 2002 Civic Si and he was so pissed cause he thinks its ugly and he wanted a Civic EX coupe... he claimed the salesman ripped his mom off for the more expensive car and he hates it, hates driving it, etc, but she wouldnt take it back, she INSISTS that he keeps it and learns to like it. Why cant I have a mom like that?!?!?!
