Did anyone see the news story on ABC "Downtown" last night at about 10:30 pm? One of the segments focused on street racing in Texas, primarily Dallas. Only 2 Stangs were shown racing (any of you guys?). The reporter spoke to and rode along w/ a guy named Steve who owned a '99-'01 TA, supposedly the guy puts $2500 a month into his car, but when he popped the hood, I couldn't see where his $$$ went (except for intake/heads/headers and by the sound, an exhaust). He raced a new Supra Turbo from a roll on the highway and wasted him.....shut it down at 130. They spoke to another guy who claimed he put in over $80k into his Supra. Guys, if I put $2500 monthly or $80k into my car, it would have wings and would fly at least mach 1. They hung out at a local hang out too, and explained how races are set up and about the dangers of racing on the street.
