I never had a fast car so never really street raced either. Well, I never really street raced any of my cars. Had a couple impromptu runs on the interstate up to 90 or so. A friend borrowed my big block Coronet convertible and had a guy in a mid-80s Mustang keep prodding him on a frontage road. My buddy floored it and left 2 nice black stripes from 35mph and they were 100' long is all. The Mustang decided to leave him alone.
I do remember one race I guess. I had a little runabout with almost 90hp and raced a Yugo from a stoplight. "Race" being very figurative here since we couldn't break the speed limit to the next stoplight and still stop in time.
I once had a passenger stop breathing in the Cobra from a dead stop up through most of 3rd gear. She had her hands crossed over the top of her chest and her eyes were really big.
