"This could be the plot for a movie, "Fast and Furious Canada," or maybe "Fast and Furious, the Young and the Rich."

Police in British Columbia say they impounded $2 million worth of high-end vehicles this week after witnesses reported the 13 cars racing on a metro Vancouver highway at speeds of 125 mph (200 kph).

The high-end race cars included a Ferrari, Lamborghinis, Maseratis, an Audi, an Aston Martin, Nissans and a Mercedes, according to a Royal Canadian Mounted Police press release.

Two of the racers would run side-by-side to block other traffic going in their direction on the highway while the others cars would take off in a race, witnesses told the RCMP.

"These drivers seemed to be looking for attention. Well, they definitely got the attention of police," Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Lower Mainland District Regional Police Service, said in the press release.

What the racers, who police said are all under age 21, won't get is harsh punishment.

"Each driver will be charged with Driving without Reasonable Consideration and receive a violation ticket with a specified penalty of $196. Additionally, these drivers will be responsible for all associated towing and storage charges," according to the RCMP press release.

That's because police didn't actually catch them in the act and acted only on witness accounts. They weren't caught on radar, video or seen by a police officer, Superintendent Norm Gaumont, RCMP officer in charge of traffic enforcement for the Lower Mainland, told the Surrey Now newspaper.

"I know there's a lot of disappointment, wondering why we only charged them with an offence of $196. They fact of the matter is, we have to look at all the evidence we have and what we're able to prove," Surrey Now quoted Gaumont as saying. "That's why we've charged them with driving without due consideration for the public."

If police were able to charge the 13 drivers with more severe offenses, they could have faced forfeiture of their vehicles, according to a Vancouver Sun report.

The RCMP said most of the drivers were operating their vehicles on "N" class licenses, which means they had not yet attained full driving privileges. Only one of the drivers was the registered owner of the car they were driving, Gaumont told Surrey Now.

The drivers included 12 men and one woman, according to Surrey Now. Gaumont told the paper they were on their way to have a meal when they decided to race.

According to the Sun, the vehicles were:

•2007 Ferrari 599
•2010 Lamborghini Gallardo
•2010 Lamborghini Gallardo
•2009 Lamborghini Gallardo
•2009 Audi R8
•2012 Nissan GT-R
•2010 Nissan GT-R
•2010 Nissan GT-R
•2010 Maserati Turismo
•2010 Maserati Turismo
•2011 Mercedes SL63
•2011 Mercedes SLS
•2005 Aston Martin DB9

This person's parents are smart.

The US could turn into a stygian, lifeless dust bowl, but we'd still be forever grateful that we don't look like this:

[Simsims]

100% mainland chinese

the club is called Vancouver Super Car Club, VSCC.

these guys were quite proud on the fact that they were caught. And yes, they'll just get another if you crush their cars.

rich beyond your imagination.

[Kiemyster]

I PROMOTE IT. its in canada FFS, lol. The only thing is they did it with traffic. thats not acceptable, endangering the lives of those who are not willing to participate.... personally I dont know, I grew up in a country where everyone was racing 24/7. Its the culture. When I was 15 I was rolling deep with a clip of 2 skylines, an Evo 6, various (3+) wrx's, A4's, 2 evo 10's, and the list continues. ohh, those were the greatest days, powering through the country side and everyone's cruising above 200kph. Outrunning the cops was too easy as they all drove toyota trucks and other fuckeries that simply cant catch us... not to mention the lack of training and skill of police officers.

FUCK ME, this reminds me of the glory days. I miss home, america sucks cock. My m3 has not ever been over 100mph, I swear. I have the speed limit sound set at 85 in the m3, so I essentially never go above 90. So I keep myself calm in america, but when i hit the streets back home its a different story. I cant wait to buy an M3 back there, then I can really enjoy the beast for what it is!
