Who said illegal or immature ? It's illegal to break the speed limit, but it doesn't matter how fast you accelerate to get there~ Unless of course, you're lined up next to someone in a racing fashion =p
You can't honestly tell me you've never done something stupid on the highway. Sure, nobody tries to make it a habit. It's a little hypocritical to say that the only intense driving you do is on the track, though. If you commute or have driven on the beltway, you'd know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm personally not one of those people who pulls up to a stoplight and revs my engine like a ricer and tries to race people. But I'm also not the kind of person who would let a riced out integra with just a muffler tip burn me off the line, with the justification being "OMG well wtf evar if we were on teh trackz0r I would kill him lolZ" and then go post about it on a web forum. I have plenty of older / more experienced friends who have exactly the same mentality as me and are willing to push their cars within the boundaries of the speed limit, so you can spare me the bullshit about being more mature.
If it makes you feel better about getting owned on the highway by going out to a track and getting an arbitrary number that's fine. If you go to the track to have fun and push your car, that's ideal and that's where I'd want to be. Please spare me the sewage spouting forth from your fingertips about immature driving though. Not one of us is a perfect driver, every one of us has done stupid shit before, and it's that confidence / cockiness in being a "safe" driver that will make you fuck up.
It's actually because I think some of you are elitest dicks. Maybe if I met you face to face I'd feel differently, but you're certainly not representing yourselves well. I'm not the only one to complain about this. I've had very positive experiences overall with the people I've met in MM, with the exception of a few.
