I agree that putting others at risk is both irresponsible and reckless and those that engage in such behavior should be punished, but the road in the video seemed to be pretty remote, and for all we know, closed to the public.

On a side note, more people die from allergic reactions to peanuts that die from street racing, you only have about a 1 in 2,000,000 chance to be killed as a result of street racing (here in the US at least).

At least they are being somewhat safe about it? Looks like a deserted area.

I've seen videos of street racing being done in the middle of the city with other cars all over the place

That clutch won't last long on that Elise... you can already hear it slipping when he's racing the C5 Corvette.

it is a closed off street just for this purpose.....you notice no one is in the path of the racers except the finish line camera.

the clutch doesnt slip at all....its a new act setup.....also a new TRD Differential....

im not worried....if it ever breaks i fix it myself.....unlike 95% of the people on this board.....50,000 miles and still going strong....and driven hard all the time.....like it should.....not parked in the garage like most on here
