    At the traffic lights do you "leave everyone in the dust"?

    Pretty simple really, do you beat everyone off the line and go for the hole shot, or do you just cruise up to speed luxuriously?

    Yes always, lol, in the 3000 anyway. I will take it personal if they try.

    It's an unspoken law that stop lights are there to signal a drag race. Drag anyone at the same light as you. Winning is optional

    I drive with a pretty heavy foot... But I get a pretty good laugh out of all the people in SUV's, trucks, and econo cars, that try to pull me off of lights. I pretty much drive like I want to, and don't pay much attention to who or what is in the other lane, but it seems there's always some slow car trying to be fast...

    At the risk of sounding like a Debbie Downer, I do not race out of stop lights. Seen too many people almost, and one time actually, get t-boned by others trying to beat the red light going the other direction.

    Yeahhh you definitely keep an eye out for Red lighters, it's less of an issue here in Australia as if you get caught it's a 3 point (your licence only has 13 points, and it takes a full 3 years to wipe them off) and $400

    other than that I generally launch off the lights as the one thing money can't buy is time, so I'd rather be at home 5 minutes earlier than stuck slooowwwly driving through traffic.
