I don't even know where these off track "battles" happen, not where I live :-) I wish I had time for $hit like that.

I recently watched some videos of large organized groups of guys with 1200-1600+ turbo Vipers, Huracans, modded GT-Rs roll racing on freeways up to 200 MPH at night and I couldn't believe this was a thing. They claim it's in "Mexico", obviously an untrue disclaimer for YouTube policy based on the street and freeway signs and fast food/gas station parking lots they meet up in. 99.9% of modded ZL1 A10 or M6 owners here will be left 1/4 mile behind by these cars, they are light speed fast :-)

The money and time they spend for this street racing hobby are ridiculous, packages start at $65k. And in the video one Viper caught fire on the freeway, and another blew a huge crack in the intake mani (and probably internal motor shrapnel) due to bad nitrous system--not surprised. The guy was like "oh well could have been worse", he's looking at a minimum $10k to get his rig back on the Mexican freeway.

If I had the money and time for this, I would spend it on a Pista or 720S and lots of track days.
