Ya the weather and the roads aren't that great,I guess you have to be from here to appreciate it.

michigan is a great place...detroit is awesome.....



but street racing is gay :(

Street Drag Racing is the bomb.You affraid of the police or something?

Arent you?

Ya! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR All they do is stop in the middle of the 4 way with there lights on untill everyone clears out.When to cops come we meet up at Randazals and Dunkin Dounts a few blocks away talk for a little and return back to Plymouth and Outer Drive.We do that all night. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683651.gif

well isnt your life exciting.



street racing is stupid and proves nothing, you have no set variables, cant judge if someone launched early or stopped early or whatever, and you put innocent peoples lives at risk.



sure i'll give a little high speed run on the hiway or a big open road that im familiar with, but no drag racing launches and especially not in the inner city like you dumasses.



but hey, to each their own? have you plotted the way you're going to push your car home after you blow it up from your 6500rpm launches?



kevin.

ummmm.....hell no!I didn't race yesterday I watched,these people are way to quick for me right now.By the way im never gonna launch that high again.I fucked up and did it 1 time and now you assume I do it all the time. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683607.gif

how do you "**** up" and launch at 6500? forgot which pedal was gas and which was brake?



either way it only takes on time to break something.



whatever, as i said, to each their own.



kevin.

For me launching at 6500rpm is just warming the motor up (figure of speaking) and breaking things, too easy and for me street racing is for stupid people.

What the hell are you going to do if something goes wrong and what about the car with the family in it that your about to hit at 100mph...



Dude street racing https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

That's cool to feel that way that things can happen and go out of control.I guess I take my own risk but it could also happen on a track.Racing period is unsafe.

but at a track you won't run into a minivan full of kids. the only people at the track are there because they want to watch/participate in races, not because they have to pick something up from the store.

I know some of you don't like 4 rotor rocket or whatever, but you guys can't honestly sit there and say that you never street race.



I mean if no one street raced on this forum then what is the reason in modding our cars?? Tyresmoking7 has a dedicated drag car and that's one thing. But you guys are acting like there is no reason to mod your car if you do not profesionally race. I mean drag racing actually started from street racing back in the 30's-40's. When people saw profit in it.



I know it is unsafe to other drivers and keeping your morals straight is one thing, but let's not try to be hypicritcal.



Especially kevin https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif



Kris

There's not to many cars full of little kids at 1:00-4:00 in the morning.People at the spot are there to watch and race also,there's very little traffic out on these roads.

I don't.



I've had people in Z06's pull up beside me on the highway wanting to race and I don't.



You want to race me you pay the track entry fee and go for it.

ill admit i street race maybe once every month or so only if its someone i know whos got a car that might be a challange but i go to an old busted industrial area near by. i still hit the spots ur talking about but i dont race there just watch, there are a lot of people watching and u wouldnt think it is too dangerous until the car nest to u hits a pothole at 80 powershifting and kills some innocents, then ur the accomplice, run and hope no one knew u or got ur plate, or stay and help but face jail time. heh i dont like the idea of that but i dont mind being one of the innocents.... hey if i get hit it would be a better way to go out than butt f*cked to death in a jail house shower by Big Joey.



i see where ur comin from 4rotor i think a lot of people did the same **** that ur doin now just we all grow out of it at one point of another. until then be safe and dont kill nobody

words to live by

Except for the double negative.

no i am afraid of stupid idiots like you driving around and getting into accidents, hurting people and/or killing people -- while at the same time giving all types of sports cars a bad name because of that



theres a place to ******* race.....go to the track and have fun all day

^ to add to what i just said...i didnt read any of the resposes because i know where this arguement is going to go ... and its so fought over and i dont care right now



all i know is i have lost 4 friends because of street racing, 2 were racing....the other two were hit by idiots racing down the street at 3pm in the afternoon



im not getting into an arguement.....i just hope when you "Street Drag Race" and you get in an accident that you take only your life and not anyone else - like you said its your choice and you take risks........just think about what would happen if you hit an explorer, and it flips over, and it crushes 2 of your good friends along with 3 other of their friends that were on the way to the beach.....



: and do i street race?...no i dont..... have i street raced? no i havent...... i may speed on the highways and have fun on a few roads....but i do it resposibly and i dont hit the limits....because i know if i want to run my car for 15 - 40 dollars you can do it all you want all day long at a safe regulated place made for it





think of it as stealing....you can pay for the race and be safe and legal.....or you can do it for free and risk getting in serious trouble

detroit is a shithole and 4rotorretard is a homo

this areguement is worn out anyways, everyone says they don't street race and say how dangerous it is, untill a ricer with a fart pipe cuts them off. I'm not for it nor against it. I have street raced, but don't do it that often.

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

Nah I get ***** your the homo

Someone please define street racing for me.



Is it when people go out to a designated spot and race or is it anyone who races on the street period. Even if you are trying to go faster then the other guy so you can merge.



I am always up for ther moment. I do not however weave through traffic to prove something. If we are at a red light I will race you to 60 MPH. I do not launch on the street either it is a dead givaway that your racing.



I have taken it to the track for test and tune nights and it SUCKS. The first time I went to the track was with my Mustang and I almost hit the wall in third gear the track was in such poor shape it should have been closed and refunds should have been given out. I get better traction in a rain storm.



Every time I go I have to wait anywhere from 1 hour to 2 hours between runs. So if I get 3 runs in in 5 hours I am doing good.



I do not codone street racing I would ever even watch the illegals. I shudder of the thought of a 16-18 year old racing too.



But dont be a hypocrit and say you NEVER race on the street.

BTW - I have on occasion taken it to 100 in a race but it was on a highway and there was nothing in front of me.

Jim,



Let's not be calling names. Some of us actually practice what we preach.

You have never floored it to get in front of the guy next to you to beat him to the merge?? You always hit the breaks and get behind.



If do I opologize and admire you. You have way more self control than I do. I spent all this money on my car and yes I do race in organized events but I will admit it puts a giant smile on my face to ruin a C-5 owners day when he smirks at my little 80's car.

Yea, I let my car rip on the highway quite a few times, but hardly never in a residential area. If theres anyone that lives in long island , ny, then they know hows theres a nice big strip going towards captree by jones beach, next to the light house, I let my car hit 150mph over there once. I wouldnt of done it if i wasnt aware of my surroundings , theres no one there at the 1am-5am hours.

If it's so important for someone to be one car length ahead that they are willing to race me for it, of course I let them! There are too many idiots on the road who seem to be willing to crash into you for that place that it isn't worth it. You will get home approximately 1 second sooner as a result of your race for the opening in traffic.



That's a pretty bad example actually. If you're racing someone to reach a small opening in traffic, are you watching the guy in front, or the guy trying to get your place in traffic? What happens if the guy in front brakes for no reason and you're going 40 mph faster than he is?



I don't appreciate being pulled over for driving a fast looking car. With all the press street racing gets now, I get pulled over in stop and go traffic. Everytime I saw a new incident in the news last year I parked my car for the next week because it wasn't worth the hassle.



I KNOW my car is faster than 99% of the other cars on the road. Why do I need to race against every dumbass who wants to find out? What do I care what they think? Not only are they a total stranger, many of the stories on the news are "Street racer looses control at 80 mph and sideswipes light post!"



WHY WOULD I WANT TO DRIVE FAST NEXT TO AN IDIOT WHO LOOSES CONTROL OF HIS CAR AT 80 MPH?!?!?!?!

i specifically said in my post that ill do some high speed runs.



i limit them to highways or wide roads (2 lanes on each side) that i know when and where traffic will be coming onto the road via an intersection or some such thing.



there's only two or three places i'll actually speed on, everywhere else i could careless if some ferrari pulled up or something, id refuse to race it.



i consider myself a good driver (try drifting a durango, its not too easy, altho it was more or less powersliding thru corners, nevertheless it was better drifting then ive seen FD's do lol) but i know when and where to show my abilities...driving down the main street or inner city streets is not the place to show them/.



i could careless if my peers think i can drive or if my car is fast, it's why i dont care about the exterior appearance of my car to be honest.



kevin.

what about that porsche you were messing around with on the highway when you blew your motor?



Dude just chill out and stop feeling nessassary to argue with everything 4rr says. Its starting to get a bit annoying. If he wants to take the risk, thats his choice.





As far as street racing goes, I have done it a few times, nothing too exciting.

i guess that was responding to my post... i wouldnt assume to know how well the driver can control his car. most of you have seen the video of the camaro powershifting into second and losing control while fishtailing hurling the car into a crowd of onlookers. and that was 40mph its not much harder at 80. this threads goin to the **** hole anyway im waitin for someone to cross the line and a mod to shut it down lol



oh yea sorry about double negation i remanising my cool high school slang, im gangsta from middle class suburbia, u know how it is gigga

Nah, wasn't responding to you. But we have almost the same point.





I think the real point is:



NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD VACATION IN DETROIT!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

its just a very touchy subject right now seeing as how i lost 2 friends on tuesday because of racing



i wasnt acting out against 4rr , hes just immature



and street racing is more of going out and racing to see who wins and its just dumb .... if im going 100 on a highway and i go to 130 its not exactly racing....

I don't race at those street racing events, but on the freeway if someone with a fast car wants to go, and its 2am Damn right I am down...

I go out almost every day that I can to look for races.

I really hate coming home without finding someone to **** with. It bums me out. I race people on the street all the time. Everyone does, even you Kevin. So stop pretending like you have never raced anyone on the street 'cause now we know your lying. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif





My family is from Ann Arbor and I hate going there. Its way to ******* cold for me.
