Re: What are the chances I can get in the low 10\'s in Quarter Mile ?

Bob

Regarding second post:

You obviosuly missed the sentance right after the Roman and Space references where I clearly said "I am not in that league in terms of my driving having any large underlying importance other than - it makes me happy and puts a smile on my face!"

So there is no telling anything or over the top about my comments except I enjoy driving! Take a breath you are going way off track now! There is nothing more at issue here than this!!!

I agree 100% it is safer on the track than on the street but people do get killed on the track as well and I am not the only one taking these risks on the street. Some are even taking much bigger ones (bikers, min van moms and so on) so you will have to change half the world which is not going to happen - just accept it as this is life in America 2006.

Thank You,

Jim

"I have included this quick link without more than a minute of searching on the web to show you what a motorcylce can do to a car and it is deadly:" Thank you Crazy I. Interesting link but the subject being discussed was not the possibility of a T bone intersectional collision. The subject was high speed highway driving on the same side of the road as the bike. I do not think you will find a similar accident involving the death of the driver of the car in the context being discussed. You will find many where a biker was killed. It is a scenario that occurs in South Florida AT LEAST once every year. Have fun. Stay Safe. Respect the well being of others.

Bobpantax:

RE: Lastly, I can assure you that any third party that may witness one of your chases is most likely thinking the following: Who is that crazy person driving the Viper and why is the motorcycle trying to flee from him?

>> No one is fleeing me. We raced, he lost, he slowed down. It's not like I am chasing bikes trying to plow them down like the movie DUEL (do you remember this one).



RE:You are also very lucky that you have not experienced a violent road rage incident as a result of your behavior.

>> I have had many situations escelate into road rage with the people I race once they have egg in thier face and dont like the loosing part of it.

If you want to talk IRONY - One of the road rage incedents was with what I later found out was a Police offer in an unmarked car who was off duty with his wife and kids in the back seat (unknown to me at first). He was driving like a total idot and I was driving very calm and slow with my Son in my Z06. It was not until he cut me off just like he did probably three others before me and almost clipped my sons side of the car that I went balisitic.

I told him to pull over and after I got in his face and was going to teach him the old fashioned way to respect other drivers he throws his badge out and gets his gun from the glove compartment. Guess what? it did not stop me and I said [******] is a Police officer driving like you are and was still going to beat him down. Soon with the crowd that gathered, traffic stopped, etc... there were five police cars that came storming in and guess whos badge was on the line in the end ? Even the police dont follow the rules. Half of them think they own the world because they are the police.

So, I still have no plans to change my way of life because of these situations. If I want to race or see an idot driving wreckless and have something to say or do about it - it is my choice.

I try to contain myself in these situations now as a close friend of mine just went to jail after he had the same thing happen and ended up killing the other guy he pulled over and fought with (no guns, just fists).

I am not afraid of these situations and know it comes with the territory. If I were to loose, get my ass kicked or otherwise I have no problem accepting that as well.



RE:There are places, like South Florida, where some bikers carry weapons. No matter how fast you think you can drive, the bullet from a weapon discharged by an angry biker will catch your vehicle.

>> Thank you for the tip, now I have a new mod to add to my Viper - bullet proof glass! Although I dont think too many bikers travelling at 150 are going to be able to pull, aim and fire quite that easy! (Just joking a bit as there is risk every moment of life so who is really kidding who here ?)

My two cents!

Bob, why are you wasting your time? Read his last post, put it together with the image he projects here and remember my comment to you regarding pain being a great teacher. Can you believe this drivel?

Crazy, you are an interesting individual. Every time I hoped you had something interesting to share, you proved me wrong. In time, we mere mortals will bore you. Sooner rather than later.

Re: What are the chances I can get in the low 10\'s in Quarter Mile ?

Anyone who can state that weaving in and out of traffic at 120 mph involves little or no traffic is brain dead. Anyone who thinks that a road so poor that a motorcycle is in jeopardy, but drives a Viper on the same road and speed and thinks it is sane is crazy.

I also agree that no one will ever be able to communicate this to Crazy. St. Peter is the first who will provide clarity.

rleminv & GR8:

Sorry to dissapoint both of you as I thought this forum was about each of us expressing our views and discussing issues identified by the "TOPIC" of the Post. I was not the one who started all of the (off topic) discussion that both of you just cant seem to give up. Let's make a marathon of this if you like and at least break a world record or something if you want to keep bouncing back and forth off topic. I disagree with both your opinions and dont plan on going anywhere soon. Talk about Drivel! Please save the rest of us from anymore "papa" talks - I am a grown man for christ sake!

By the way sorry if all the off topic discussion is putting anyone to sleep (twinturbo3150). I would think if this thread was really so boring certain people (twinturbo3150) would not even bother wasting thier time reading this to begin with let alone posting interesting messages like "YAWN"!

Happy Motoring Boys!!!

Crazy may be crazy, but your keyboard lashing isnt going to change his ways...If he wants to drive like a D-bag let him...I have done some stupid things as well, and there is potential for a a heavy price to be paid... You get caught up in the moment sometimes...I never bought a Viper to drive slow, and if you drive slow in yours you should have bought a Caddy....AL... :buttkick: :nono: :D
