last nite,, i was on my way to addison when around the garland area a red rx8 came behind me and we started going at it.... we were zigging and zagging thru the traffic going around 120+ and i finally came up to the car and it was a guy about mid 20's and he gave me a big smile cuz i pretty sure he had a blast same as i did,, either way we floored it again till he got off on 75... if your on the forums thx for making my trip to addison better than it could have :D but i will be glad to run thru traffic anytime especially w/my valentine... :D

Yeah... that sounds /very/ safe.

I'm no safe-***** myself... But at least if I do something I realize later was stupid, I try not to brag about it

Maybe it's because I've felt what its like hitting a jersey wall @ 65mph. Its not pretty.

Rear end lost it somehow, be it failure or not, clear plain daylight... Front turned into the jersey wall, and everything went on from there.

Good share. The marks on the young lady are scratches/bruises from her seatbelt keeping her restrained?

Amazing pics.

Glad you morons didn't make the trip more memorable for all those other people you were sharing the road with... by killing them.. sheesh.

Take it to a track hot shots.

Yeah, i have to agree. I've done stupid crap in my car before (140mph on I-75), but i now realize how that is not cool.
Race Season starts tommorow, if you really got a hankerin for some spankerin come on out. That reminds, i need to post an update.

Hey, I'm not gonna jump on here to chastise you nor am I gonna congratulate you. All I'm gonna say is that YOU are not the only one on here that has ever gotten on it. I've felt the need to let my RX8 breathe. The important thing here is you did get lucky that no one was hurt. I also know of some other members that have enjoyed playing around with other 8 owners.
I don't want you to be scared to post on this forum. You shared your experience with us and I thank you for the interesting read.

calm down everyone. no need for name calling. he was just excited to see another 8. some people don't have time to go to the tracks, so a couple minutes of playing around with the car is probably the only chance they'll ever get. so quit bashing the new comer. 120 dipping in and out of traffic isn't the smartest thing to do. but i've done it plenty of times. i don't regret doing it, i had fun. just to let you know, majority of the people on this forum do not support, in any way, street racing or any type of illegal street driving.

anyways, glad to see you're enjoying the whip.
