Official Street Racing Topic

[GTA3Freak-2001]

They might know something, especially if they've either played a realistic simulator like Forza or rFactor, or have had parents who are experts on this stuff.

 

Oh mate comeon, even specially designed virtual driving test simulators can't compare to real-world driving let alone video games. They may be simulations but they are still designed for fun and entertainment. You can never simulate the feel and real-world danger of driving let alone racing a motor vehicle. You just can't.

 

Unless your parents are professional race car drivers that have taught you from a young age and own a private race track can you say young street racers know what they are doing and have the skills to race safely on city streets.

[iRloading]

All true, but abundant street racing only gives the f*cknuts with 200-shots of NAWZ that much of a better opportunity to drill some poor sop.

 

Take that sh*t out of the city.  Whatever happened to good ole' canyon carving?

You = missing the f*cking point.

 

If you don't have a test track, or canyon (who the f*ck has a canyon? What is this tattooine?), you use the city by force.

and it's people liek you that make the cops wanna go stick their pee-pee in your tailpipe~

 

in the assumption that anyone who adds anything to their car, so much a decal~ is a glorified pompous inconsiderate law-breaker~

 

you use the city with force, the city will deal with you with force (be it an accident out of your arrogance, or smokey bear come catch you in his dubbed out pinto copcar)

 

jesus christ~ FnF? Forza? since when has anything so fictional, deemed to be considered a factual instrument to racing?

 

you could probably pick up concepts and ideas on a "video game" (no matter how "real" the game tries to be~ it'd still never amount to even 1/10th the real thing)

 

race schools will always be the best place to learn how to handle your "ride"

 

sure you can "experience" and teach yourself~ but nothing beats an environment to learn and someone to tell you how to do it "right"

You stopped making sense at this point. Time to reinvest money in grade school before you step on to racing school buddy.

 

Also, I was proving a point with my last post, not defending anything that I do. Ever heard of the DVD 2Fast2Real? It's an hour and a half of street racing in NY, video recorded and sold to spread the idea that they need a track. It's not like they WANT to race on the streets.

you dont need an education to know that a road is always potent for an accident due to someone breaking laws or being pigheaded about it~

 

i.e: people who claim they can "take it by force"

[Kaj.]

It's not like they WANT to race on the streets.

But they still do. So they're putting themselves and the other people around them in danger and showing blatant disregard for the law.

 

No matter how you look at it, street racers are criminals, and rather ignorant criminals at that. At least other criminals KNOW that they're breaking the law, instead of trying to force themselves to think that what they're doing is perfectly okay.

Dug up this little gem for you from the old Feroci recruitment topic.

I am sure of my 90%. Did you ever pass a driving exam? Putting the blinker while you take a sharp curve in a perpendicular avenue won't help you if you go too fast.

[MindCorrupt]

 

I live in perth, the most remote capital city in the world. I live in half an hour driving distances of several motorsports venues that public have access to (through the right channels), one also runs several drift events. and even the police run their own public drag events (blue light drags).

 

Cant find a track? Not looking hard enough. Or probably dont want to embarrass yourselves by taking your ricers down for real racers to see...

[GM Dude]

@GTA3 Freak 2001: Okay, you're probably at least half-right.

I also wanted to put that racing school would really help you, but I was pretty darn tired when I typed in my reply, so I couldn't say everything I wanted to.

{Not being able to sleep does that to people!}

 

@Pavlov: I've already done it, but I'm taking another one, this time online.

And yes, I know that blinkers don't help.

 

@Tuff Luv Capo: 2Fast2Real? Never heard of it.

 

@HoldenRulz: Excellent point.

If they had tracks to race on, that could potentially lower fatalities a little bit.

 

@irloading: I actually kinda agree with your last sentence.

 

@Dup: Everyone pretty much knows that drunk driving has killed many more people than street racing. Although I respect your views, I don't have to agree with all of them.

 

@Kajun: At least they're not out to kill, terrify, or rob people.

That's what TRUE criminals do.

 

@mr_ed: Or maybe there isn't anywhere else to race for hundreds{maybe thousands if you're in a third-world country}of miles.

I think you're lucky. EXTREMELY fortunate, as a matter of fact.

@mr_ed: Or maybe there isn't anywhere else to race for hundreds{maybe thousands if you're in a third-world country}of miles.

So, I was in Adis Abeba recently to do some work. Africa is pretty poor, so you can't go clubbing or anything. And they'll rob you as fast as you can say "oh nose I got robbed". I asked my bodygaurds (they totally had AK's!) to take me somewhere fun.

So they said "mister, we will take you to see the track."

I exclaimed "NOT THE TRACK?!... wait, what is the track?"

They just nodded and said "you will see white brother, you will see."

Off we go, and right on the outskirts of town, dead center between all the shanties, IS A FREAKING RACE TRACK.

I sh*t you not, curb-stones, smooth track, even tire stacks!

I raced like 15 rebels in a toyota pickup, and I won because I didn't have as many people onboard. They fired their machine gun and we all drank liqour.

Then I raced against the sjeik of El Morani, but that was unfair cause he brought his maybach, and I only had a rented toyota pickup.

The last guy was a black drug lord who had bought a Honda Civic and riced it out, after we started racing his car exploded in an inferno and I think about 1598213213 people died.

 

My point? THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES DON'T CARE ABOUT f*ckING RACE TRACKS BECAUSE THEY'RE f*ckING STARVING TO f*ckING DEATH.

 

Jesus f*ck, I'm going with uzer here. This place is done for.

[Mark]

LOL, If I hadn't just seen my mate passed out on the bathroom floor of our hotel room, legs over the seat, I would have said that seeing GM Dudes post is about the funniest thing I've seen all month!

 

Watching and playing motorsport sh*t may give you knowledge on how to take a racing line, and maybe be a lil faster, but it does not make you a better driver. Hmm..reminds me of the time Jeremy Clarkson drove an NSX round Laguna Seca on GT4 and in real life..they're just not comparable, no matter what anyone says.

 

Speed kills. It's known. Sure, an extra 5-10mph in a non ped or quiet area, or even like 20 on a motorway, when it's quiet as sh*t won't probably endanger anyone, but street racing is not just speeding, it's excessive speeding, coupled with dangerous driving.

 

Drink driving = Takes longer to react to stuff, and makes you overconfident.

Street racing = Higher speed, thus larger distances travelled before the driver reacts, plus if you think you're good at it, and some like Michael Schumi beater, you'll be confident too.

 

Seem similar?

 

This topic r teh funny, lolol

[Dr Doidberg]

I just got into a huge debate about what I did the other night.

 

Seen an srt-4 next to me, I told him he had a nice ride, we took off like normal people when the light went green, barely moving at all, when I change into 2nd gear I floored it, the srt-4 did the same and flew by me, I slowed down once I hit 70km/h 10 over the speed limit. Many would call that a street race, but according to the cops ITS NOT. The only charges that I could get snagged for is speeding. It lasted all of 3 seconds too. someone had the liberty of asking a police officer this question.

 

People are calling everything street racing these days. Street Racing is 2 cars lining up and both gunning it to excessive speeds.

[GM Dude]

@Dr. Doidberg: Yep.

It seems like everyone blames everything on street racing nowadays.

 

@GTAuron: At least street racing doesn't kill as many people.

Yes, it can be dangerous, but drunk driving is far worse.......

 

[Touge]

They've introduced a bunchload of stupid laws here because of street racers. Or, as they're known in New Zealand by the media: "Boyracers" (they have girlracers too)

 

If you take off from the lights too fast, you can get a fine for 'excessive acceleration'. A burnout or breaking traction of any kind can be classed as 'sustained loss of traction'.

 

If you're caught street racing, you get hit with a fine, 28 days of impoundment for your car (plus you pay the towing and storage fee) and I think they confiscate the cars of multiple offenders and sell them at police auctions (I must go to one of those someday..).

 

What really sucks though is it isn't very often that some old guy in a V8 or luxury car gets done for doing the same thing. Apart from once the mayor of this small town got the 'boyracer' treatment for allegedly doing a burnout in His CLS 55 merc.

 

Sexually frustrated middle-aged midlife crisis guys are some of the most dangerous drivers out there. And they act so high and mighty. Australian members will be able to relate to this, I'm so sick of seeing people in late model V8 Commodores and HSV's thinking they're so damn hot and that you should give way to them at all times. And that it's okay to tailgate people and floor it coming out of intersections and roundabouts in the wet. Alot of the V8 Ford drivers are the same too.

 

 

 

 

 

[tuff_luv_capo]

Around here, mustang guys know their place. It's the american version of the civic. EVERYWHERE. Doesn't matter if you have a jack roush stage III in mint condition, it's still a mustang.

[GM Dude]

@Touge: Oh yeah, you definitely got that right.

I just hope don't turn into one of those idiots when I reach middle age.

 

@Tuff Luv Capo: Just curious, where do you live?

[tuff_luv_capo]

@Touge: Oh yeah, you definitely got that right.

@Tuff Luv Capo: Just curious, where do you live?

Hick County, just left of East Bumblef*ck and Boondock Falls. That's why street racing is so popular, they have nothing else to do. Two highschool kids atleast, die every year in a car accident.

[GM Dude]

@Tuff Luv Capo: And just where is Hick County?

Or is it made-up?

[123abc]

Street racing is sort of fine if your on a backroad where barely anyone goes. But in a city and/or highway? Stupidity.

 

Basically, just be smart about it. Think about all the possible things that could happen, and use your own personal judgement.

 

If an idiot dies in a city or highway accident while racing, good. One less idiot we have to share our already crowded space with.

[Guybrush Threepwood]

I once met a wizard in a dark alley.

He cast a spell of death-by-rakes on me, so I beat him up and stole his wallet.

Turned out he wasn't a wizard, but actually a really thin woman in a dress.

The police made me return the wallet and promise them I'd never use my own personal judgement ever again.

Oh by the way, I've seen some racing videos on streetfire.net .

 

Pretty good site, too.

I saw that Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift movie. Putting highschoolers into the game and "i was stopped for speeding 15 mins after i got my licence, and 1 week later i won my first race" is cool unless it's taken seriously, i think.

No worries Pav, as long as we don't have anymore silly rants about how stupid people can be, you can hijack all the posts you want.

[Brutuz]

The street racers here meet near my house and then go out to a farm Near Haddon and do a kind of rallying not a single Death, EVER, my Mates dad rules at it, me and my mate got a ride while he was doing a forest circit at least 130 Km/h in his replica Lancia Delta Super Intergrale with a new Garret turbo and also, keep the outside stock, no Mufflers, maybe a FACTORY vynal and just some mild rims, but do the engine, with turbo, cooling, bore it, anything so long as it looks stock,as not only are you less likly to get in troble with the fuzz, but other racers underestimate you, by thinking you just think you've got a stock car.

[GM Dude]

Brutuz: Great idea!

I was thinking I could do a sleeper auto, to fool some cops into thinking I've got a normal car when in reality, it's a 400+ hp monster .

[ANANAMOOSE]

I have a buddy who did that with a T-Bird, the car looks like sh*t but goes like hell!

[GM Dude]

What model year and how fast?

[tuff_luv_capo]

A few sh*tty (see:Dark) shots of my Z with friend's filming and editing. My music choice, hehe.

[Brutuz]

Wait till I get pics of my uncles Pontiac GTO, Lancia Delta S4 Repilca and 2005 Mustang

The Delta is for actual rallying (non pro) through the pines around here, its very fast as there's no real major rules here, so in goes the biggest Turbo I've ever seen (aswell as everything else) it's not ecsacaly legal, but he has all origanel bodywork so sometimes he puts that on and goes as fast as he can on the Highway to Melbourne at 1:00 am, he got to 300kp/h with the wind behind him downhill then I sh*t myself (not literaly) and he slowed down he sometimes lets me be his nav even though I'm too young to get a Licence.

[GM Dude]

Why would a big turbo be not legal?
