yikes.... Good hype to sell some papers i guess, but when you sieze 2m from wealthy people, collectively, I imagine there will be some serious behind the scene lawyer upping ...

I see that some parents will be very upset since all the drivers were under 21.

yea i highly doubt any of these boys are even able to handle the power out of any of these cars. i'm 20 and my about 400hp c55 is already a handful!

edit: my money is on the 2012 GTR being the fastest in that group.

Pretty sure that 599 would smoke the GTR.

This happens on a regular bassis in Toronto, Ontario. If you go to court and get a good lawyer, there's no way any of those charges will stick as the result of a witness testimony. It's complete BS. I'm surprized they were able to issue tickets at all. Usually when people complain and report wreckless driving or street racing, the police would try to find these cars and observe them racing, then they can nail them with charges. Otherwise, they've got nothing on any of them. Inorder to be charged with street racing, the conditions have to be very specific. If the cops didn't see it, it didn't happen. Money has to be exhanged (bets made or some kind of wager) and the race has to be from a dig. Driving side by side from a rolling start isn't considered street racing. You would just get nailed for wreckless driving or what they call "stunt driving" over here.

MIKESV8

gonna have to kindly disagree with you there

danlnyc

Are we talking stock vs stock? Or modded?

Meeyatch1

Actually, their parents are probably too stupid to care enough to dole out any real punishment. What do you expect to happen when you give 'Junior' and mega fast hyper exotic? Seriously.

c32AMG-DTM

Seized is the wrong wording. The cars were impounded. They got them back, after paying a fine of around $200 and any applicable towing/impound fees.

MIKESV8

stock. 0-60 the gtr gets it, but 0-100 and freeway pulls, i think it's the GTB.

If these clowns were caught racing by cops, the cops would have sezied their cars. This happened last year in BC when a M6 and a F430 were seized racing in the mountains of North Van.

These clowns wont get their cars seized as the cops didnt see the incident and gave them reckless drving tickets. I also read that only two of the people cited actually owned their cars.

BC dont play around when it comes to speeding and DUI's. Two drinks and your legaly above the limit. Glad i left that place.

AMG_Dom

Correct! Cars impounded for 7 days and as there's no real proof of street racing, that's all that's probably gonna happen.

and yes, the new DUI laws up here are ridiculous....blow above 0.05 and you're done!

Autotechnica

Who cares about 0-60? My C32 can beat my tuners 1200HP supra 0-60, doesn't mean my car is faster. It's all about useable powerband. I prefer to race from a roll in 3rd gear. That way the potential of the motor and car is shown. However, C32's are pretty impressive from dig.

kent426

Talk about a **** state, 5,700 cars seized in the last year for racing??? If they wouldn't have shut down all the autox circuits, allowed westwood to close for housing developments, they wouldn't have these problems. Glad I moved out of there!
