Some argue that time and place is a track. But if you truly believe you can't safely do a quick pull with someone next to you on a wide open road that you can CLEARLY see no intersections, no people and not a chance of a random person walking out in the middle of the road, then my god, you live one ridiculously over cautious life. I'm surprised you take the risk of getting into a car every day and better yet bought a performance car.

Agreed.
Posts like this are a big reason I have not posted any of my videos driving my car on here. Would people enjoy them, sure but I'm sure just as many would jump on the "OMG YOUR CRAZY AND IRRESPONSIBLE!!!" bandwagon. I drive fast, and yes occasionally I race people on the street, but I am always careful. Could anything happen, sure, but that is part of life.
If I wasn't crazy and somewhat irresponsible I certainly wouldn't have a 500HP Boxster, but life would probably be pretty boring too.
I think you are more likely to be hit by an idiot checking Facebook on their iPhone while their self braking car drives them down the road then you are to be hit by a street racer these days, but there are a lot of idiots out there.
Oh and regarding the intention of this original post, hate to break it to ya bro, but the 335 wasn't trying because there is no way you were pulling him on the highway in a 2.7 boxster
