Same here, I don't do it. I do HPDE and soon Lemons/Chump once my E30 is together.

At the same time $200 to floor it for a mile is much better than flooring it on the interstate, wrecking your car, killing people, loosing your license and hopefully going to jail for a good long time.

there's a difference between flooring it in traffic and waiting for optimal conditions. just because one might use their car's potential outside of a race track doesn't mean every single one does so irresponsibly.

i get what you're saying and i agree. but just relax about it.

last time i spoke about safety concerns on some awful stance build i got banned. gotta watch out about safety concerns around here lol

All stance builds are awful, it goes without saying

And I agree, if I am exploring the limits of my car outside of a track, I ensure the only person that is possibly at risk is me. Nothing wrong with that IMO.
