P.S. - What other GT700's have run 10's other than Joetwint (10.8) and cgmeredithjr (10.9)?

But there is no way I would get in the 10's.... I would have to have the sickest 60'.. and this 4200 lbs car aint doin that. The simple fact is.. she's a highway moster... and thats how i'll keep her. It's probably close to 130 in the traps. But 1st and second are some short *** gears... thats why on the 2nd race i kept it in 3rd... I would have wasted more time trying to keep it straight... and shifting to keep up at all.
Buddy's porsche sure did make me miss mine though.

I'll call you the next time I know the 7 and 8 second cars are going to run... they pop the shoots on the street.

Look under "News" and then "Rocket"
If they don't show the price I'll give a hint: It's exactly the same as MSRP on a Carrera GT
Philly, nice work on the M5. I remember you from the early M5 days with me being one of the "grandfathers" of the M5 board and a member of the "famous in our own minds" LI Posse original members: DrJimM5, Sean, BlueMax, FamilyM5, Rakesh, Robert P. etc. Ah, the good old days! If I remember right you had a relative in my neck of the woods by my office in East Meadow. Yes?

Haha, just kidding, I know you said you're only into highway racing with that car. I'd be down for that.
My last race on Front St in Philly (cut short by my friend unfortunately):
S4 vs 67 Camaro

When I go back to Philly I usually come down to Front st, 61st, or Halstead... but im in a friends car most of the time. It seems like the thugs and there civics have kind of moved in. Not so many muscle cars down there anymore. They all race up North now...

When you say they race north of there now, are you referring to the Franklin Hills Mall Area?
What's the street racing scene like in MI these days? My friends and I have been wanting to take a trip somewhere to check out another part of the country's street racing scene. From what I've been hearing, Michigan is pretty good? Still lots of domestics I'm sure, right?
BTW, here are a few more of my S4 videos:

Also.. yeah Franklin Mills and/ or Roosevelt Blvd. Its way more legit now. Meets in a parking lot.. then a few cars go out and settle the deal. It doesn't attract as much attention.
