Ok... just so I have this straight: Movies like the F&F have pushed illegal street racing into mainstream, to where every punk kid and his kia, civic, and and integra are out pounding pavement off stoplights whenever they think they can.
To the point where every traffic enforcement agency in every major city is cracking down on anything that even resembles street racing. It's easier to lose your car by being a bit hard on the clutch at a light than by blowing twice the legal alcohol limit. Because street racing is so broadly defined under the law, it is basically up to the officer's discretion whether he wants to ruin your driving history and insurance history, for a very long time.
And they're making more stupid movies about it?
Soon it'll be illegal to even look under the hood of a car, let alone modify it. The more attention street racing gets the more it'll be assumed by the general public that anything with a performance exhaust is driving around looking for a race, and the driver arrested and vehicle crushed before he can race and get someone killed.
Don't get me wrong, but doing a nice pull down an empty street against someone is all fun and games... but how about we avoid putting up large signs, buzzers, and sending out smoke signals, emails, advertisments, and various other forms of communication, that we're out there doing it. It's called keeping a low profile... and if "street racing" had done that, and continued to, there'd be no problem.
The car community as a whole should be shunning this bullshit. Sorry for the rant...
And wtf is that air scoop on that mkIII for?
