I watched a corvette and a mustang 5.0 years ago race on a US Highway. They was stopped at a light and when the light turned green they took off. The mustang won only because as soon as they took off they both squelled the tires and a cop was nearby and heard/seen them. He took off after them and the vette stopped but the stang didn't, thus the stang won ;)

Yep. Your friend is a dipshit and got exactly what he deserved.

My friend's friend with a new WRX had to get a lawyer and do something else just for him to keep his license... but the idiot that he is... he gets caught again and is driving around with a suspended license.

Which also means no insurance, because insurance coverage is dependant on LICENSED drivers operating a vehicle.
It's your turn to drive him around. Get him off the road.

That's all that needs to be said. What a tool. Suspended license + WRX = a huge mountain of sh!t just waiting to happen. :disgust:

we beat the car anyway, not by much, probably 1 car length, from 30 to 95(100).

we didnt argue with the cop. my friend is gonna pay the ticket... he made the choice to race... crap happens.

anyway, that sucks. and he wonders why i dont like to race my cars

I agree. And while we're at it, I think the police should shoot people for every stupid thing they do, like riding a bicycle without a helmet, or jaywalking...

Riding a bicycle without a helmet isn't breaking a law, but jaywalking is good.
