A Red Lotus Elise SC

Ever since my best friend in High School had a 1986 Fiat Bertone, I have had a fondness for mid-engine sports cars. Such a bare bones and unashamedly single-minded vehicle made it a unique contrast to the Mustangs and Camaros that were the typical car selection of a teenage boy in my hometown.

Sure the muscle cars always had more horsepower and straight ahead top speed. But with the engine screaming just behind your ears, it handled the extreme curves of the roads that wind through the mountains where I lived so well that you felt you were ready to compete in a GT road race. Fast forward to the 2008 Lotus Elise SC, a car that does so much right, it may be the best pure sports car in the world.

Street Racing is slowly becoming one of my favorite things to watch online. Yes, I’m an uber addict on Youtube. I just can’t get enough. Here’s a mashup of my favorite street racing videos.

Sick Street Racing in Houston,Texas

Recently I’ve become a huge fan of street racing. I found this video on Youtube of some kids who got caught street racing, the police baracaded them in, but a small group manages to jump the baracades and speed away. Hilarious and ballsy if you ask me.
