Build your own dirt track.
I had exactly this problem. I sold the car. To a point I do regret selling it, but if I kept driving that car it was just a matter of time before I lost my license or my life.

Discover the joys of luxury cars
I'm old as fuck, so I can relate with my younger years, but over time you just realize there's a time and a place, and you can have fun in short sprints.
My current vehicle is a mazdaspeed3, and it was kinda quick from the factory. After adding 100hp to it, I realize that it gets too 100+ mph a little too easily. That's why I usually focus on deserted back roads and highway on ramps for some fun every now and then.

This.
People don't realize high end detectors will save your ass.
The C63 I bought had a top line Valentine already installed.
Police are using lidar not radar these days, lidar detectors will tell you you've been pinged, but it's too late by then, they already have a reading
its simple
watch out for cops
Drive spiritedly when it's appropriate and have some fukken self-control when it's not.
Also this
iktfb
My two wheeled bikeuu is faster than a hellcat or 99% of supercars, and speeding on a bike seems slower than a car for some reason. Its honestly tough when a mild throttle roll on brings you to double the limit within a second or two.
Just gotta have self control, and a good radar detector never hurts.
go to some toogay at night
im not even memeing but im really fucking paranoid about radar detector detectors
are they real or not? all my friends say they're real
They detect radars
> Car has radar dectector
> only gets X band
Not driving with an electronic warfare pod on a hardpoint
>$150
I wish I had that. Over here in Por"no car fun allowed"tugal, a single trackday entry goes for 300-400€, and people insist it's cheap.
Always look out for cops when driving, always be one step ahead & ready to run. Most pigs won't chase if you immediately out accelerate them and break line of sight. Get out of the city and go rural for less risk.
of course they fucking exist
Don't be a fucking idiot when your radar detector screams at you to fucking chill, smile and nod at the coppo, drive away unassumingly
Then fucking do whatever
Fuck, learn to appreciate a good cruise too, not everything has to be a race
>not a lot
Just a few simple mods.
So now you're making like what, 248hp?
Anyway I sure as fuck hope that's at the FRONT WHEELS because that's the only place the power should ever be.
>newfags cant spot pasta
The first post you quoted was finishing the meme, you massive fuckin idiot.
One Boi did but you missed it newfag
On the real, ignoring your copy pasta I DO have a speed 3 as well and have an extra 80whp or so on it at this point, sitting at 300 to the wheels when I run E85 and it's kind of annoying how quickly I get above speed limits now without realizing it. I just want to hear the boost spool after the SRI install, it sounds so good. Next thing you know I'm doing 70 in a 35.
It's kind of a curse
You don't actually buy Cobb products do you?
:^)
>This is why the brz exists.
For being slower than a Genesis?
IN THE TURNS?
This is funny because laser jammers are just that.
>implying cobb is bad
Buy something that's powerful, loud and slow.
If you like being jewed on everything and supporting the cancer that is their tuning software, then sure
LOL

Looks like we have a wrxtard that bricked his car doing the simplest tune on an AP1. How can you even fuck up the instructions?

>more power/fuel economy, profit.
Stop living in the city.
>Own fast car
>Launch at lights when no cops
>Have absolutely no desire to speed any more than I would in a shitbox
>Cruise at a speed I would in any car (except my Miata which is loud as fuck and uncomfortable) because any shitbox can speed
I don't get why people think because they bought a fast car they need to drive 90 in a 65 when everyone else is doing 80, if you're using the car's performance than it's either tossing it around corners, setting highscores on highways or launching, it has nothing to do with cruising
>than
Then* For all intents and purposes I'm considering "fast" getting to 60 in 4 to 5 seconds
>dirt
I agree their parts are expensive, but their tuning is simple and cheap. Plus it's pretty conservative so you won't destroy your engine. Plus you get all of their maps from one purchase. It's a pretty good company and the accessport makes it easy to get tunes from other shops if you so desire.
>He doesn't like dirt roads
If I had a large property I would make a dirt track immediately. Dirt is 10 times more fun to drive hard on than pavement.
OP is bitching about speeding tickets and 150 dollars a weekend to track his car. Do you really think he has the cash to build a paved track?
>buy ECM pod off eBay.ru
>blow through radar trap
>pod was mid advertised by the Russians
>cops baffled at car launching flares and chaff out the back
Doesn't matter when the detectors have GPS
Isn't a Genesis like 8k more?
