With stock tires, you can easily peel out and get a ticket or just wear your tires out quickly with not much to show for it. If you want to have good straightline speed, add boost, or trade your car in on something like an used mustang GT or something.
Amen.

I had an auto and the m/t is much better for street racing.

(Sarcastic, I never street race this car... Just like to driver her hard!)
