Nope...never raced a soul and did it every weekend for a couple of years when I lived out there. You can’t race on a 2 lane winding road with traffic coming the other way...it’s not possible to pass. lol
Spirited driving with cars in front of and behind you? Yep...that’s the whole point...to have some fun. If it was as illegal as you seem to think the tons of cops there every day would be taking people to jail left an right...but they just sit and watch with everyone else.
You can play holier than thou all day long...I can assure you I couldn’t care less.
I’d do it again tomorrow if I could.

So I guess all the guys messing with Porches, Corvettes, and Ferraris missed the boat. They should be buying Dodge pickups and modding them up instead of you know, sports cars....

We get it you got a nice truck. It still aint bending a turn with a vette.
You’re so clueless it’s funny. And Dodge hasn’t made a truck in years...that’s a Ram.
If it won’t “bend a turn” explain that pic I posted. Truck almost flat, sucked down in a curve with a 305/35 rolled under to the sidewall. Tha truck was working...period.
Hate on hater...I built it, I drove it and I know what it would do. You know nothing.

The Saleen looks like an afterthought...

Tall guys have a hard time fitting in some cars (6'7" 330)...I bought my '17 F-150 as a commuter to be comfortable.

Vettes are cool...

Trucks built to haul *** in a straight, curved, or dirty line are cool...

I'm going to that big fancy smancy auto auction in Arizona next year. 2000's Shelby Mustangs with 500-10000 miles on them went for less than $20000 this year.

You guys act surprised that Saleen put out a vehicle that looks like a 12 year old was the lead designer. They're just throwing what they can at the wall and hoping something sticks.

Shelby American isn't far off from the same business model. They just happen to have a better "name" with Carroll, and Ford floating them cash.

Not trying to feed the fire. Just a cool video.
"Proof that with the right engineering and work, any vehicle can go fast. Even a truck."

Video I watched a while back. Some people just prefer trucks over cars for basically everything. Making something completely opposite to the rest. I happen to be one of them as well.

But yeah, That Saleen still looks like ****!
Right on topic

Sure doesnt look like theyre just sitting and watching lol or maybe theyre stopping them to compliment them on their awesome cars and awesome driving skills for crossing over?

Oh lord...they were racing on a public road. lol
Almost positive that’s Topanga Canyon...one of my favorites.

I never did any videos with mine but lots of magazine coverage including the cover of Truckin a few years ago.
