If you are moving to the south, you will be in Nascar country. Street racing isn't really accepted or thought of as cool aroubd these parts.

I'm not looking for street racing. Happy to trailer/drive the car to events nearby that offer more than "Straight Line Fury."

AWD ain't built for straight lines.

I don't know how many lives you've seen wrecked by street racing, but please leave it in Vegas. Keep it legal and off the street. There's too much at stake. 35 and 45 mpg zones were never intended for cars to be able to "safely" (calculated risk) lose control at speeds in excess of those figures.

It's not that hard to track the car, and when you track, you actually learn a lot more than if you're risking yourself or someone else in some back road, "Initial D" type showdown.

Keep it legal and learn to race legitimately. You'll be a much better driver for it.

Sorry to come off as a jerk.

I have zero tolerance for illegal street racing. Too many ways to race legally and inexpensively.

I've just seen too many times what happens with illegal street racing; the people it hurts when things go wrong.

So long as what you're referring to is not illegal street racing, then I'm good with it.
