Yes... these are nice cars. That said, there is no reason to be street racing with cars like that on a public road when there are plenty of other cars around. I'd rather see shitty appearance mods than someone screw up while driving a nicely built car.
Omg, the speeds reached.

And giving it a bit of a fishtail like that? I would not want to be one to do that, lol

^Strong dislike.

As I always say, to each their own, but, that's not my cup of tea.

That looks so much better than using the drying machine's aluminum air duct to cool down the egine bay.

LOL, I really thought he's using it for better down force grip on the wet pavement.

Just a stereotype as drivers in L.A.(specially when it's raining). But I'm Asian too and I know I'll pull over and stop if trunk's open. Rather I get wet than deal with a rusty trunk.
