I don't like seeing this type of thing on here because it makes the SVX World Network look bad as an organization. I'm pretty passionate about this group, and it troubles me to see the demographic changing as it is. Mike |

i street raced this civic with some stickers on it.. we weren't really racing at first, i just wasn't letting him past me.. then i heard his exhaust note change timbre, so i floored it in first gear and shot off.. i was obviously winning, so i let off and he just came flying up.. i didn't really like the idea of him passing me, so i got back on the gas.. we stayed neck and neck up to about 70mph (this is all on a straight, 25mph speed limit road in the middle of the night) at which point we both started to ease off.. i got tagged by a cop at 40mph.. he pulled me over on main street, and the first thing he said to me was "how much horsepower does this thing make?" to which i replied 'um..... *REALLY weird look*" he said "i'm not gonna give you a ticket.. how much power does it make?" so i busted out my encyclopedia-esque SVX knowledge and he was impressed.. he ran my license to make sure i wasn't the unabomber or anything, then let me go on my way so what did i learn from all this? well.. i'm a really lucky guy.. although i haven't always been so lucky. you'd think i would learn, but i have this odd feeling that i'm still ruled by my hormones.. -adam (everything above was a complete lie. i don't even drive an svx) |

I lost a friend this past month to a stupid street race. You may think "he must have been a bad driver and crashed his car" right? He was walking on the sidewalk and got taken out by a vette that coudnt turn in time. The drive lived, he did not. Go to a track, im sick of irrepesponsible people, there is a reason why it is illeagal and there is a reason why we do not condone it on the board.
sincerely phil

Theres a differance between street racing, and just going fast over the speed limit... hey mike, what road did you hit 135... because I would really like a 135mph speed limit sign...
Quote:
I'm sorry but going from 35-80 on a fairly open two lane street in the middle of the day, isn't as bad as going 135 at night. We all have a little fun with our svxs, and its not really street racing. street racing usually involves money, and a planned race, not just a stop light to stop light race, especially not just speeding up way over the speed limit on a road.. what was the ACTUAL speed limit on the road you hit 135 on... don't give him crap because he loves to drive the car... thats why we're all here... we love to drive this amazing car.

the age of 25 is going to go thru that stage in life, its part of growing up if you are into cars. And if you say youve never had a street race you are probably lying. Truth be known, more people are killed by Drunk Drivers and you dont see those idiots getting their licenses revoked on the spot in every state, and they still sell alchohol over the counter, AND you see people of all ages getting caught drinking and driving and hurting people. Not saying street racing is justified, and I also dont care to hear about who beat who on this site either. Oh, buy the way, you could get a 6 cyl in 67-69 Camaros, then again starting in 82-its end they where offered with 6 bangers too. Even muscle cars can have a soft side.....

I'm sorry that this is going to come off as unpopular but here goes.
I see a whole lot of hipocracy in this thread and others in regards to racing/speading. there is too many people condeming irresponsible driving who have already in other threads admitted to doing just that. the difference between street racing and speeding is the number of cars involved, don't try and fool your self. Its like Dayle said most people (guys especialy) have raced in one way or another be it a stop light to stop light or a sprint on the highway and I'll go as far as to say that there isn't a person here who hasn't gone faster than the speed limit dictates. I certainly have done both and while I'm not out making a habbit of it I probably will again. the thing is this...speeding is against the law, street racing also against the law, trying to justify your actions by saying one is worse than the other, or that when you do either your doing it responsibly is rediculous. Maybe you think you have all the variables worked out but you are and I am always gambling. and if you don't know who mister Murphy is sooner or later he'll tap you on the shoulder. I'm not trying to come of a jerk but it does fall back to the old glass house proverb. |

My post was made becauase I am just getting irritated that there are these continual posts with regards to 'i beat this car' and such. It really does make this organization look bad to outsiders. What is with this influx of posting like that? Mike |

Most every car forum has a some sort of "kills section" The supra, 3000gt, rx7, 350z, 300z, f-body...ect.. So I don't think it makes us look bad if someone posts a street race. I like reading them actually. I think we have all been in some sort of stop light race before..I know I have.

Hmm... a responsible teen.... (putting on fireproof underwear) I would certainly like to meet this lot of teens. What are they responsible for? I'm sorry but if teens are going to buy this car and brag about racing hondas and (choke) neons, I'm sure that there will be a lot of parts cars coming available very soon. I have mixed feelings about this. I hate to see the children wreck SVXi. I'm sad about the cars, not the kids. Dumb ones can be filtered out of the gene pool this way and we can be reasonably sure that at 16-19 they won't have had too many babies. I'm glad that there will be some parts cars and that by the teens making fewer on the road, the uniqueness of our cars will be enhanced! (obviously some teens do act responsibly... but I still have the insurance companies statistics on my side)

I would like to openly state that I am in fact, a responsible teen. I have had my license for about 2 years...no accidents, no tickets. I'm not saying I will never have either of these but I am just stating that we are out there. Even if there are little numbers. Insurance stats by far outweigh this though. Oh well.
-Pete

not doubting you....but
Quote:
get your license at 16 roughly. I messed around and got lucky for a few yrs, and then in my 20s **** went downhill from there for a few yrs till I got the message. Last 10 yrs havent been too bad. City got some $ from me. Also, back then they had just started the "point" system in Az so it was just a smart thing to driver smarter. Not saying you arent what you say,.....but you still have plenty of time to get caught. Its a wake up call when you do even once. Also, its not just about getting a ticket, it happens to almost everyone.....its what the citation is for that tells whether your a responsible driver or not. I open admit I still get into a street race once in a while, but its always in my Soarer, and its always against someone else my age in a Perf car of some sort. And the only place I talk about it is maybe on the Supra forums..... Oh, and Ive Never drank and drive, thats one thing I firmly believe. Lesson for today: Dont street Race
