I enjoy my ride , im not into racing anyone. plus gas= $$$ , get busted= $$$ , insurance= $$$ , breaking parts=$$$ ..
Ain't that the truth. I used to stoplight race my '87 Shelby Daytona all the time (it's quite modded, but not full race). In one Spring/Summer/fall driving season,I managed to kill:

-an engine
-pistons in the new engine
-3 head gaskets
-1 head
-3 Turbos
-2 Transaxles
-2 clutches
-7 halfshafts
-one right side ball joint

It does get expensive. But it's sooooo much fun!

I've always been an aggressive driver with any vehicle I've owned, and as of yet I haven't caused any issues when doing so. I always take care of business when it comes to maintance though. Very frequent synthetic oil changes, allignments, balance and rotations. I always stay on tranny flushes, coolant flushes, you name it. It's constantly in and out of shops being monitored, so as long as you keep up on it, then I think it is ok. Obviously flooring it everywhere will cause significant damage if the vehicle isn't regulary checked up on, or if the owner doesn't give a **** about the truck lol. My attitude probably isnt the best thing on the road, but its just that mentality I get when Im on the road. Ya know, having to put people in to their places. I even got to put my brother in his place now and then! Really its the most fun though when were on the roads together putting people in their places together! Two badass Ford and a Dodge beating up on Chevys and foreign trucks...mm fun stuff hahaha

Haha i know what u mean man. What I usually do at every stop light is rev my engine until it starts to make the governor noise where it cant breathe any more. I keep the engine revs high in N, and then when it turns green drop the automatic tranny into drive, so it clunks in real hard, then i slam the gas and not let up to let it shift, and really get the black smoke pouring out, by that time i have wasted the hell out of the poor victim who even thot for one second he had a change against my turbo charged cummins hahahaha

I've had this happen a few times with Nissan Titans... the 1st time I just happend to have the power turned up, after he left the line and I saw what he was doing I nailed it and caught up to him pretty quickly then backed off to the speed limit. the 2nd time I only had about 300' before needing to turn into a parking lot... left the intersection in a cloud of black smoke. when I backed off he was about 3/4~1 truck length back.
