I’m saying I would be afraid to race in a car with magnesium parts. Magnesium is quite flammable.

I love those GLHs; it stands for Goes Like Hell for a reason. I plan to buy one for an autocross car.

i fear no car, on the street i'll line up with anybody. especially a skyline, or a supra, the faster they are the more i want to race them. the other day i tried racing a viper, but it did not want to race. i've tried racing nsx like 3 times and a lambo once.there's not too many 400hp cars on the road were i live, its very very rare, and thats probly the reason why i fear no car.

Re: What Cars Would You Be Afraid To Race?Be Honest.

although my car can beat most of the cars out there, I'd have to say mercedes sl500's, mercedes cl600's, corvettes, porsches and twin turbo supras. They're pretty common where i live and they'd probably beat me easily.
