    This is disgusting, with the road toll as it is, it's irresponsible to be posting videos of drag racing. Speed kills and drag racing is just speed glorified. This kind of behaviour is outlawed on the roads for a reason.

    The last thing we need is people encouraging this sort of deadly behaviour.

    Mods please delete this thread. No good can come of it.

    Its on Drive.com.au, its not ome youtube video of two people racing down Chappel St. No worse then watching TopGear.

    Great video actually, just finished watching it. 13.1 sec FPV 13.2 sec HSV. The HSV got the jump too, I think its time that HSV turbo's the Clubby's.

    So, why is this important?

    Because, how many times did they cut up footage, and how many drag races were done and spliced into one sequence? And did the R8 win a race perhaps?

    Now, I like the F6, but this destroys the integrity of the race and video!
    i think the video is a little biased
