Mine wasn't. It was peppy until I put on 18"s and 300lbs of sound equipment in. Still didn't stop me from being a f*cking idiot and nearly killing me and a friend. :clap: |

Who ever said Street racing was a sport?
BUT....what I will say is that you go and ask a Pro Racer how he got into racing. I can assure you that about 85-90% of them started by Street Racing. Nascar for example...got it's start from street racing....as well as Moon Shiners running from the cops. |

Street racing is not an autosport. However, it is stupid and immature. You wanna race? Take it to the track. |

It's an adrenalin rush. If the track was open 24/7 (which we all know it is not), or open 5 days a week instead of 1 or 2 then we would see more people out at the track. But it's not a perfect world is it... :silly: |

street racing is a sport, an illegal sport, but a sport. that is why it is usually referred to in legal terms are "unlawful contest of speed"
just because something is stupid and dangerous and wrong and morally corrupt doesn't mean it isn't a sport. look at cock and dog fighting. it is a sport, but it is banned in alot of places, and stupid and cruel to the animals. |
...stupid kids caused my insurance rates to be readjusted twice already.
I generally would say 'it's Darwin at work' and leave it alone but there are too many innocent people involved. For every person who has ever street raced, just remember I wish to punch you in the face. Repeatedly.

how can dog and rooster fighting be a sport? Dropping 2 animals that cant control being put in the situation into a cage isnt a sport.. Thats why its labeled as animal cruelty.. I understand the point your trying to make, but you didnt use a proper example. Animals fighting eachother isnt a sport, its done for the sole purpose of gambling. (friends dont just call eachother up and ask to bring their pitbull over to friendly dogfight)
If your using your example, then "anything" could be a sport, like rape, beating your kids, or murder. |
Street Racing isnt a sport, but more of an art..atleast thats what the kid driving this told me

There is no justification to putting a turbo on your car, there is no justification to buying $100+ dollar shoes, there is no justification to having bigger tits, there is no justification for someone to go on a forum and preach about "street racing" being bad, as you can't save the world......Who cares, it's life. As long as it's on a dead road, and you and the other racer are the only to involved, I have no problem with it. |

That's a lot of people you got to punch... :rofl: PS....You really shouldn't hit a woman though.. |
I'm not trying to save the world, that's far too hefty a task. Now, striking some common sense into people like you who try to justify racing on public roads, that would be a far more realistic goal.
You're not putting others at risk when you get a boob job, buy that $100 pair of shoes, or when you install a turbo on your car. Thus, your argument is null and void. Save it for the track, or an abandoned airstrip. |
I am not going to say that road racing ( Illegal street racing)'s a sport, though almost everyone at one time or another has done it. Boys and men and the price of their toys... Most of the time when we were younger, but every once in a while with the right conditions or frame of mind/mood. I do enjoy a QUICK bout with an SI as they are not expecting the supercharger. No problem fooling the first time, but wouldn't happen a second time. I like to say that the moon, sun, and the stars have to be aligned properly.
