Kinda odd, but now that I have the power in my car to actually win most red light races, I don't even try and will go out of my way to make sure it doesn't seem that way too.

I did have a guy pull up next to me in a 5.0 stang and say "is that thing fast?". My response was, "I'll leave it up to your imagination cause we're not going to find out today"

Perhaps I'm getting old, just don't want to pay for a ticket, or I'm actually trying to be safe and responsible.

It's like in the movies when a hot chick is holding her shirt as a flag to start the drag race.... Why do the guys race away? There's a hot chick standing next to your car in nothing but her bra!!!! Stay there, get her number for God's sake!
