Yeah I'm new to this forum and I can say I take it to the track frequently and don't screw off on the street much.
That said I'm willing to bet the vast majority of those on here driving a V8 have and do occasionally have a go at it on the street and to be frank I don't see the issue unless you are doing it in traffic/endangering other people.
Nicely done OP, I bet he was surprised and more than a little disappointed.
