yea you are right, he should have totally passed into the oncoming lane and crashed head on into a car just to show he's faster. you know its a ticket just for touching the yellow lines on the dragon, right?

I wonder why that's a ticketable offense. Oh, right, the whole "oncoming traffic at breakneck speeds" thing.

There's a speed limit on that road?

It's kind of irrelevant, since so many people drive the Dragon hard.

When we were there for Zdayz, the police told us they were more concerned with us not crossing the yellow than whether or not we sped.

If you really nailed it on the straights and hit some high speed they'd probably tag you, but maybe not. Now if they saw you crossing the double yellows they'd tag you... instant reckless.

It seemed like a fair system this year, definitely.

they just have no passing on the yellow lines during Zdays so mustang owners have an excuse to be behind z's and don't have to admit that they just suck and can't handle in anything but a straight line

Haha!

Here are some Youtube comments from another video where I was following Lance:

Kid: The guy in the GT wasnt very confident in the GTs handling was he? Or else he would have left the Z

Me: So you're saying I should have passed the Z on a two-lane road, putting oncoming riders and drivers at grave risk, right?

Kid: Never said that, your car handles as well as the m3 you seemed like you weren't 100 percent confident in your car. Abd if you were really worried about putting others in grave danger you wouldn't be driving like that to begin with

Me: Don't really understand your angle. How does the video in any way suggest I am not confident in the car's handling? I'm just following the 370Z, that's all. There's also a little bit of a difference between spirited driving, well within the boundaries of control, and crossing the yellow line to attempt a pass... FWIW.
