I get all the time m8 and ive got a mk5 fiesta i just let them get on with it the end of the day its not me thats not going to be wrapped around the nearest tree is it lol.

My Hubby had one of the 22 official imported Mitsubishi Evolution 6 and everytime we was at the set of lights everyone wanted to race, I used to hate it I was so embarrassed and the OH never raced them and you could see they were happy to beat us off the line in their Corsa’s, Clio’s and Nova’s very sad people out there and yes it’s them who’ll end up hitting a tree of Armco barrier just let them get on with it they’ll eventually grow up!!!

Yes could be they must be testing it to death first before final release, i decided not to bother with mine as i heard mixed reports.

No it's much more fun if you change down a gear and then ease on and off the accelerator so the car judders a little... they soon back off because they can't predict your cars acceleration/decceleration xD

I only race from a set of lights if the geezer next to me is being REALLY annoying. I had a 1.6 VW Golf with a big Sub, Huge alloys, blacked out windows, bodykit, pull next to me once and began revving and creeping forward. So i pulled up the handbrake, put a little pressure on the accelerator and eased off the clutch a little. When the lights changed I slammed down the accelerator and he kept up until he missed second gear... just heard a huge grind and his gearbox moaned lol xD. I love my little 1.25 xD

Racing at the lights is for morons. There is no reason nor excuse good enough. I'm sick of paying high insurance because brats with more feet than braincells decide that public roads are a good place to drive dangerously.
