yes 405 is known for alot of street racing specially around Irvine all through LongBeach. Best place i love to Speed is when ever i head out to Morongo with friends cause there is always trouble on the road out there and its fun to hit the Twisties knowing ur not going to get pulled over by a cop ( twisties have Cement Walls on bot sides so theres no were really for a cop to hide)

so i was able to keep up with him! i could hear his turbo spooling up and it sounded sick...at no point did he blow me away... i was kinda impressed by my car being able to keep up with him...before i knew it i was at 145 and i could feel that my car could have still pulled further..we did a few of these 80-140 runs and it was pretty insane. ive never gone that fast and believe me its scary so i won't be doing that again for a while. anyways it was a huge adrenaline rush so i thought i'd share.

oh and yeah for all those who are going to flame me, i was by myself and fwy was fairly empty. yes i know it was stupid. thanks.

Good story bro! Even better mods!

That's what I thought too but after watching the Best Motoring Video (recent one, either Dec 06 or Jan 07), I changed my view. The C6 Z06 couldn't catch up to the 911 Turbo tiptronic even in the 1/4 mile race. But at higher speeds, I'm not sure.
