yes it is dumb if your doing it in traffic... but who are you gonna hurt when your racing in an open street at 1 in the morning??? thats where all the serious racers go and win some dough ... my friend has a hatch civic with a swap h22 running high 11's... that guy make a couple extra hundred dollars every weekend lol. All those american muscle cars thinkin its a "4 banger" and they doubt it will even break 13's... i like the look on their faces when they lose to a car with an engine half their size :D

 

I agree, I dont ever drive recklessly well not really recklessly at least when there are other cars (ones that dont intend to race and whatnot) around, or people, I go driving at 1-2 am for 'fun' as well

 

Someone PLEASE host the vid!

edit-nvm hehe.

 

I raced a red 02 eclipse with a coffee can muffler it was the v-6. I beat him by a car length. He wanted to go again, we both caught a red light I didn't even rev the engine I just started off normal then got on it. He had enough after this time. He turned off.

 

haha, that's pretty funny. the v-6 mustangs are *real* dogs though, although the new v-6 2005 'stangs are pretty quick. 200hp. sweeeeet.

 

I think the point is, if you want to die or take the risk of dying, fine - so bet it... but go kill yourself where you won't be harming other people that aren't involved. YOU live with your choices (be they stupid or not). But if you're racing on the street, you are likely to [sooner or later] grossly affect someone else's life or lives. You should not impose your idea of: "To hell with you, I don't care if I kill you, let me have my fun in my nice shiney, loaded with torgue car." That's just childish and obviously people who think that way were never really mature enough to have attained a license in the first place. Sure I've occassionally had a little race with someone on the road, but I have never once taken up a challenge when there are other people around. Having fun with your car is one thing. Heck, that's why I'm purchasing a TC and reading these boards - I intend to have fun. But there is responsibility where fun is, guys. I just think you're ragging on someone who you shouldn't get so huffy with. Race, have fun, but do so responsibly - which means in a controlled environment, instead of using a car as an extention of your manhood.

<steps off her soapbox> Geeze, what a way to make a first post. lol. Sorry, but I have been reading for a long time, and this was the first post to make me feel the need to respond in some way. Umm, so anyway... hi everyone

 

blah blah blah, this topic is getting way out of hand!

If you race, you race, your choice, your life, your wallet.

Topic done!

 

Except the vid hasnt been posted :?

 

The video is posted on here https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=39429
just click on the link, and then you have to right click and "save as" on the file they give you.

 

Exactly, IF it's done so responsibly... otherwise, it's others' lives/wallets. However, the topic is done when all means of discussion and interest have been lost, not when it's declared so by one person.
