Is this bad?

Not in Ohio... we be in a Pole Leese State. Cross into the Buckeye and a State Boy will be there to check your ticket.

It's not that were allowed to do it. There are just certain areas and certain times that no one is around.

Laws are pretty tough in Calif. too. If caught for excessive speed, wreckless, or street racing, the car may be impounded at the officers discretion. Blink is playing a little Russian roulette here with his car. But... let those of us who have never done this sort of thing in our youth cast the first stone. (I paraphrase)

Blink, aside from a little extra wear and tear on the equipment it's not bad at all. It's a sports car and a Porsche one at that. It's designed to be braked hard, turned hard, accelerated hard. I like to go out for fun drives to, but I always have a fear of the man lurking (for good reason) so going all out on a public road isn't the best idea. Have you considered autocross or track days? So much more fun because you don't have to worry about the things you do on a public road. Plus, it feeds my need to compete against others.

When is a question, not a question? When it is phrased like the one that started this thread.

So, you KNOW that if you hammer the car, it will shorten its life. That is simply a law of physics. You know the brakes and tires will wear out faster, erc. That is why they are called "wear items" in the warranty.

That is your issue of course; if your engine grenades or you drope a grand on tires, it is between you and you.

If you plow your silly a** into someone else, that is where the issue changes quite a bit.

And, if the CHP gets you on your little 120 joy ride, well, the tires will seem like a cheap deal.

So, lets end this little thread right here. If you want to take your car to the track and run it above red line, be my guest. That is what the track is for; speed and testing your skill, if you have any.

If you want to drive it into me and mine, we have another conversation, right?

Be very careful how your respond.

haha I wasiting for Bruce! You've gotten soft my man! This should have been locked awhile ago....

I'm like Ricky Bobby...I like to go fast....but talking about it on the board is a big no no....and 120 on the highway is a mistake....whether you think you are alone or not...

I would hate to see you filp that car and see a complete different expression on your bro's face....just a side note

I love driving fast and the Box is one of the best cars on earth for doing it in.

On the track, I think it is one of life's great experiences.

Out there, generally, you are the only one you can maim or kill.

You got that right!
