its wreckless and stupid and illegal. most importantly its not just the life of the driver but everyone around him. its a big deal because i dont want it going on on the streets that me and my family use. also, im pretty sure the mustang crossed the double yellow

99 and up v6 mustang had right around 200hp. Actually a good comparison if you look at it that way.

I recognize these streets in socal. This is Costa Mesa. Damn street racers

"My god damn insurance rates." Is all I can think of every time I watch these videos. As if it's not hard enough having a red coupe as a 24 year old.

Street racing is awesome! I like the part where they raced on the street.

What's the weight on them? ~3100lbs? Eh, heavy for that little HP.

The FR-S already looks like a fast car.

Fortunately for the driver of the FRS its was WRECKLESS or another FRS would have met its untimely demise! That kind of driving on public streets is too RECKLESS and I hope he gets caught before he hurts someone!

lol, this video is hilarious.

These are both the world's slowest vehicles.

once you push the car to its limits on the track, you quickly learn that it is down right stupid to come near those limits on the street. let alone on those shitty stock tires.

by that dash and steering wheel lay out thats a mid/late 90's stang. they are slow as fuck. makes the brz look like a racecar...

not all true, the car is tail happy yes, but even with the stock tires on the car behaves well because of the chassis it sits on, try driving an MR-2... lol this car is VERY sane vs that car

Look at it that way and none of us got to "break in" our cars. All we did over the fist however many miles was get the ecu to learn in. .. I started giving mine hell around 600 mi.

As for the jackhole in the vid.. I'm surprised he didn't wreck it in the vid.. but .. who knows. Maybe a few months? First time he beats on it like that in the rain he's going to get a real interesting surprise.

yes, and yes

if you saw my car you might be saddened, i do rally cross from time to time though, explains the battle scars, but i have no intentions on reselling ever and 2 im driving the damn thing like is supposed to be driven

99-2010 v6 mustangs had less than 230 hp actually wasnt till 2011-2012 that they got the 3.7L 300hp v6

this is MEH, break in happens at factory and maybe 50 miles into ownership

"break-in" periods are for 2 reasons
1. if you beat on it, and they pull that information, they could deny warranty
2. if something wasn't manufactured right, engine failure would be less catastrophic, less damage would be done to the engine ( less damage done from you beating on the engine and it would expose the failed part better to toyota/subaru so they could quickly find a solution to the defect.)

[mangostick]

Initial break-in yes, that happens immediately.. however there is further wear in that does occur over the 1k mi "break-in" period. As you mentioned that has been demonstrated with literal dyno proof that there is a difference in power laid down between brand new and 1k mi later. Its not just the ECU.

are you going to hurt it if you romp on it within 1K mi? No, likely not. I started driving mine through the rpm range and with wot runs here and there around 600 mi.. runs like a champ. Did the same thing with my WRX and that ran 97K mi without issue at stageII power levels.

Break-in is for breaking parts in. Not warranty or the preposterous thought that engine damage is lesser so at 4k RPM vs 7k rpm... if it blows it blows man, it'll be replaced entirely either way.
