Funny that I've gotten a racing on highway ticket and none of this happened to me? I also know quite a few other people in various regions of the state that have had the same. They wont impound your car unless the cop is a real dick and/or there is something obvious illegal about it (like slicks) ...and even then they cant/wont take the car from you and sell it. All my friends have paid the fees and gotten their cars back a few days later?
As for the ticket itself I believe first offense is only like $100 maximum but you get 5 points. With a lawyer you can easily get out of the points... Since the fine is so low a court will usually be glad to hit you with a bunch of non moving violations...

if you are caught street racing, the vehicle(s) involved will be impounded on the spot and the driver can be fined up to $1000 and the driver(s) could face suspended licences depending on the area/speed limit.
the impounded vehicles will not be released back to their owners no matter what. they will be held by the town they were impounded in until the town can obtain a title for the vehicle at which time it will be sold at auction. the original owner will not be allowed to bid on the vehicle.
