Like if the limit is 70km, have you guys ever gunned it to see who hits 70 first? Obviously when theres no traffic ahead.
Even when im on the bike, i sometimes gun to hit the speed limit just for fun, its not dangerous if there are no other cars ahead of you, and its not like your speeding, just accelerating real fast
I do this occasionally, but bear in mind that this is still illegal. You can get an "excessive show of horsepower" or similar ticket, or even a reckless driving ticket. Just be careful, and keep racing to the track.

P.S. - in fact, I once almost got ticketed in my old camaro for revving while driving - there was a large SUV in the left lane, which was ending, and I was in the right lane. The guy just kept going and almost ran me off the road, so I dropped the clutch and floored it to let him know I was there, since I didn't have a working horn at the time. Well, a cop saw/heard and thought I was trying to race - I had to explain to him that my horn was broken and that I didn't want to get run off the road. Like I said - be careful.
