hey now, common sense plays a role here , most of the time its to see who can get to the speed limit faster remember 55mph may be the speed limit but there isant a limit on how fast you can get there

actually they can give you a ticket for aggressive acceleration or improper start from a stop.. adn about 5 other ways the write up the ticket if they deem it fit to stroke a ticket..

buddy pulled the front tires off the ground in his cobra.. didnt break 40 mph in a 55 and got a $500 ticket for "Gross display of raw horse power" the tires didnt even spin..

Race to 115 in a Yukon. So you guys did a half mile race. Gotcha.

 

[JochenWoern]

So I lost a race to my friends 04 Nissan Armada LE. We went off a light from 0~115mph. He beat me by a car length, maybe more. Was this supposed to happen? My 04 Denali is stock with 22" rims. His Armada is stock with 22" rims also. He has agree'd to a rematch but I want to know what low key stuff I can do to come out a winner this time. The idea is to appear as if I have not done anything to my truck on the next race, and win. With this truck I was not into making it faster...until I lost.

How old are you? REALLY??? You are not kidding here, are you? WTF? Who cares????

OMG, racing two SUV's and crying if you lost? GET REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[popo8]

Hell... in PA... we have "exhibition of speed." that is a BROAD violation for me to cite with.... You dont even have ti get to the speedlimit....

Nope. It takes me full mile to get a factory production superchargered Cobalt to 130, and the Cobalt would smoke the SUV. My guess would be 1½ to 2 miles.

If done under the right circumstances I don't see the problem with racing. We have a 1/4 and 1/8 mile track close to us that is open to anyone on certain nights. If someone enjoys a fast SUV why do you guys care? I get the whole "he's on a public street and endangering people" talk and AGREE, but if he does it right and at the right place who are you to judge? I enjoy driving fast and think it would be pretty awesome to go to the track and run a mustang down or keep up with a vette in a 6000lbs SUV that has the right mods.

In Utah, the OPs case is an automatic Street Racing (I believe the technical term is Exhibition of Speed). First offense minimum penalty is automatic impound, 6 month suspended license, and $1800 fine. You don't even need to be in a car for the ticket. Just spectating street racing is grounds for conviction.

No way you're doing this at a track if you're hitting 115 unless you have one suped up truck. At that much power I doubt it's streetable, so I have to call BS on this one.

If this had happened at a track I wouldn't be saying a thing.

 

[Rivieraracing]

Those Armada's are no joke, I'd say what a buddy did with his rental Armada but I don't feel like getting lit up about it!! lol

Very similar here in PA.... but we dont have the balls to take tge car.... just the license....

Are u LEO?

AGREED

 

[domin8]

Nope, not LEO. I've played with the idea, but decided not to go that route. I do come from a family with a strong background in law. My mom is a legal secretary with paralegal training. I have an uncle that was a LEO in Delran, NJ, but now works for the feeds. My grandma and grandpa both became prison guards after my grandfather retired from the Marines. He was at San Quinton in the 70s. On my wife's side, her cousin's husband is the assistant chief of Salt Lake City. The legal field is something I just tend to keep an ear to the tracks. I've been told I should go into politics or be an attorney, but I've decided I didn't want to hate myself every minute of the day. I really hate attorneys and politicians.

For sure. BUT I was more referring to the comments that blanketed racing an SUV as stupid, as I stated I agree that it shouldn't be done on regular streets(that goes for racing anything).

I don't think a supercharger is low key Jenna but it will get the job done..

 

[06xl]

I personally think its cool to see a 6000lbs suv hall ass down a track while making good time.. Safety first of course

Thank you to everyone who gave advice on what I ORIGINALLY asked for advice on which was how to improve the performance of my truck. I appreciate it.

Your welcome but on the other hand i do see were ppl are coming from. You are illegally street racing and with a SUV a that which is something that was no were near designed for racing and can lose control very easy at speeds over 90mph And can turn into a very bad situation for you or others around you.

OMG, racing two SUV's and crying if you lost? GET REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did this guy just ask how old someone was, in the same post he wrote OMG and WTF?

OP it is dangerous but I understand sometimes it happens. Intake and headers combined with a black bear tune really wake these trucks up.
