I dont care if you put your own lives in danger.But when you put others in danger is just fucking dumb. If you have torace you cars, you and your tough guy buddies go the go-cart track and a couple laps.

Unless of course its a closed leagal street race type thing, then I have no beef.

I don't street race, it's fucking dumb. Take your ego driven ass into the boxing ring or something. WOO, I beat you! my daddy payed for a faster car than yours! Big fucking deal. Go Kelly Clarkson!

mmm not really. But good try.

On a sidenote, I think "street racing" as you toy ass call it is fucking gay. Its just who has the most money. Start autocrossing, and then see who can drive. Fuck having a fast car that can't do shit on a real course. Stop light to stop light racing is for fags.

contradiction would be like if he said
" Streetracing is dumb, but I drive 170kph."

yeah but box only puts you and the other competitor in danger. And its in a safer enviroment.

but i guess you could consider it contrdiction to a slight degree.

Anyways no big deal either way

not about all money. its about knowing what ur car needs, tuning, parts, etc.

It's not about driver talent. Any dumbwit can press the pedal and make a shift. It takes real skill to auto-x and read the course and make the best line choice.


Anyways, as far as safety. The only crashes that have occured locally from street racing where a bunch of tards in slow ass cars, driving around drunk. In which case it was drunk driving that caused the accident.

Going to the 1/4 mile track is a fun time, but I'd take Auto-X any day of the week.

uhh are u serious? it has alot to do with the driver. half the fuckers dont even know how to shift, when to shift, nor do they know the best powerband of their car. like I said its all about tuning and parts that fit your style of drive. most people just swap shit in and never tune until some big upgrade like a turbo. big NO NO

Go drive an autocross, where you still need to do every single one of those things you said, but also have a perfectly tuned suspension, and an inate sense of balance of the car, and knowing how to make that 3rd to 2nd downshift without throwing the balance of the car. Knowing how to threshold brake at 100%, and the exact moment to turn-in, at the exact correct speed to maximize you're speed throughtout the course, and just simply reading the course and picking your line.

Dragging compared to autocross is like comparing a monkeys intelligence to a humans intelligence.

yeah but who said anything about drag racing?

street racing can be like an auto-x but in the streets of a city or any area.

he did not say dragging he said street race.

i guess u can take it either way, i thought he was talking about racinf around a town like an auto-x just not closed corse ahah

Sick fucking car man, I've wanted one of those for a while now.

And the boxing comment was to say that if you really wanna beat someone, do it man to man, not man/machine against man/machine.

I dunno, I don't have any desire to do anything like that on a street. It'd be cool to take your car to a track and boot around, but racing isn't my thing. Go Kelly Clarkson!

this thread is gaytown, keep it off the streets. like skierx said, autocross your car or go to lapping days.


people like you perpetuate the stereotype and keep insurance rates rising.

and d-loc don't try to justify street racing is like autox for the streets. you're a fucking idiot.


and good luck with the eagle talon, its like a dsm , you broke your tranny yet?

autoX is single car time trials through a series of cones, they usually set up the layout at an airport or parking lot.

yeah, eagle talons are mad expensive if you ever fu*k anyhthing up. a dude was pretty much trying to give me one at $4 G- but the transmition was gone, and it wasn't worth it, the car was done up too, but he drove the sh*t out of it, not to mention, the engine would go the way i like to drive. then i'd have a $4 G paperweight

but it would look cool at least
