thats not how every corner acts. thats a pretty basic corner. find corner with a double apex.. now those are good times. but i have to agree with you on the note about ricers and how they prove their cars performance. in a straight line.. and i agree with the massive novelty spoilers and glowing things. they are probably the GAYEST things that someone can put on a car :Peenutt:

i flew past him on the freeway at like 145km/h (car tops out at 156. teehee) and i think he saw an oppurtunity. he was from out of province so there's hardly any chance at all that he knew the road. seeing someone in a little pos like mine whiz past confidently probably gave him the go-ahead to have a little fun on his drive to wherever. i was his leader, and his early warning system for cops. he did not attempt to pass me on the freeway, even though he could have many times. he was following me because i knew the road. no ego at stake. nah, he just wanted to go a bit faster. only good drivers who had a clue of what they were doing would do that. an amateur would see a pos fly past them and immediately see it as a threat to their penile strength and then proceed to pass at extremely high speeds. this guy did not. to me that shows intelligence. when we got off of the freeway and onto highway 4 to port alberni, then things got a bit more interesting. and that's when he started to fall back. even though my car is a piece of shit, i still managed to keep ahead of him, mainly because i knew how to drive. he knew how to drive as well. but still then his car couldn't make up for my skills and the knowledge that i have of that road. power is good to have for passing and such, but it doesn't mean shit when it comes to actual driving. btw, you wouldn't stand a chance against me either.

sissy?
no not quite. just not a moron. seeing is how i like my licence i intend to keep it. but hey i guess you are a "real" street racer. so i guess that means you're too much of a twat to come to the track where people actually watch you. if you wanna race in a straight line too. go to where it counts... the track. get a slip and prove that you can handle your car. :Peenutt:

racing on '99 is a fucking stupid thing to do.
not just because it's full of blind corners, treacherous roads, and TONS of traffic, but also because it's full of other idiots who think they know how to drive, JUST LIKE YOU DO. at least find a road a bit less travelled. by all means, fuck yourself up if you like, but don't fuck anyone else up.

oh so true he'll be crying in a ditch after he rolls his car.. or charged with man slaughter for killing his passenger.. crying like a baby.. then we'll see who's the sissy. and when you go to jail.. you can tell everyone there how hardcore you are that you killed an innocent person gunning it on a road. they for sure won't make you their bitch. :Peenutt:

Hey safety's all good. I see nothing wrong with going to the track. I betcha' you're a little scared of your cars though, aren't you? If you're ragging on inkster for doing 145km/hr on a freeway you're obviously scared to do it yourself. Which is fine. Maybe you shouldn't have the cars you do though, hmm? It seems the only ones who fuck up are the ones who are unfamiliar with their cars or their surroundings. (that includes city driving for anyone, since things happen so quickly and blindly) Inkster is not only sure of his car... but he said he knew the roads well too. And he was only doing 145 for christsakes!!!! I think you're just looking for someone to throw your anti-racing policies on.
I think the best thing a driver can do is learn their car's tendencies. Open it up on a quiet day on a nice road. Tear it up in a parking lot to seewhen your car loses itself. etc. etc. If you're scared of your car.. get rid of it. I went through about 8 cars and only found 3 I felt safe in. This one old camaro I had felt like a deathtrap. So away it went. The trouble with you kids coming into daddy's money and getting high performance cars right from the start, is that you really haven't earned them. I'm not just talking about you having to pay for the cars yourself, but having to start off with pieces of shit. Look at pro racing like formula 1. Probably every one of those drivers started with go karts. When they started cleaning up they'd go on to the next level of competition until finally EARNING their way into Formula 1 after probably more than a decade or two of hardcore racing. Same with Rally racing (IMHO the best drivers in the planet) they started with a piece of shit with duct taped on headlights, a rollcage, rally tires and a sticker or two, in a car they bought themselves. I guarantee you that both Inkster and I are safer drivers on the road than you are. We know when our cars will lose it. We've had lots of practice in sticky situations. We can read the road and what's happening well before you can. We're more focused. And we're not driving to show off, which is what the track and spectators are for, no? We drive because we actually enjoy it. Love it. And Inkster... curves are great... they really are... but sometimes those straights are fun too :) I won't even say how fast I've driven for fear of retribution. But damn damn fun.

easy there buddy. i have street raced.. but before it was in the publics eye. and way before every kid took their moms car out and smashed it into a wall or rolled it on the highway. and i'm scared of opening up a car on a quite day? i have. i used to all the time.. now i feel no need to. i've taken cars way past 145. i know when my car will lose it. so don't go around making assumptions saying that you are a better driver just because you have taken your car fast. i took an old civic up high. and it felt like shit too. so i never did it again. i've taken a talon up to high and it was decent. but i never did it again. i've taken my car now up high and it felt safe but didn't do it again. i feel no point in constantly gunning the shit out of my car just to see how it feels. because i know how it feels and i know how it will react. and i drive for the love of it. but i drive safe. :Peenutt:

Ok. that's fine. But why get upset at Inkster for doing 145? You and I both know that's nothing to get upset over. I believe he was in total control. So don't go around making assumptions that people are morons for driving fast once in a while. Gear your hatred of street racing towards the right people. If you're living in Richmond I'm sure there's alot of them.

Going fast in a car is easy.
Go rip down the Dave Murray downhill @ over 100kph and see how you handle that. I almost shit my pants. It's just you playing chicken with Mother Nature without airbags.

Dave Murray downhill. Where's that?
To yellow: you're right, you did. There are times, though, when noone's on that road. The accidents happen with people becoming impatient with traffic and passing, or following too close, etc. At the right times that road is hella' fun. The roads I learnt on by Bluffton, Alberta were huge expensive roads with some good corners, good visibility, wide shoulders. Fast... and so few people were on the road at any time it was great.

It's a hell of a lot harder than it looks. I almost broke my leg the first time I warped down that run and saw a tight turn coming that I didn't expect. I flew for about 30 feet. As Inkster said, knowledge of a run beats pure speed anyday.

there's a hill on Louis I think... that's like that. You go off the chair.. to the left for a bit... then there's a steep, hard groomed run that curves a bit, goes over a crest, then curves again into a fork. So fun... but you know when you start that if you fall you're probably not going to ski the rest of the day. But.. *sniff* damn I miss skiing.

i'm so glad you posted this.... you are exactly the same as the rest of them who think they can drive ... and unfortuanitly odds are you will die with the rest of them. you don't know what fast is if you think you can drive... step into a 6 second 1/4 mile car and take it down the track.

look kid, you can't even spell unfortunately even remotely close. And did you drive a 6 second quarter mile car? Really.. did you? Or are you just asking out of the blue? 'Cause that would be a hell of an expensive car to break the 6 second barrier let alone let some pot head drive around.
I'm 26. No speeding tickets. Great insurance rates. Nobody dead. Nobody injured. No little accidents. And I've had my fun. Let me ask you... do you smoke pot while driving? Do you smoke pot before driving? Do you do any type of drugs before or during the driving experience? If so, you are more moronic than the "bad, bad" people who like to speed once in a while. And what the hell does driving a 6 second car down a track have anything to do with being able to drive????? Shift well... punch it at the right time and keep it down the straightaway. Wow. Not that I have no respect for drag racers and their mechanics, but you could have chosen so many better forms of racing to be relevant to knowing how to drive. But you're probably high right now. So go look at a tree.

21 here.
two accidents. one when i was 16 when i was going a bit too fast on a gravel road, got into some washboard and lost my back end. over corrected, landed in the ditch and hit the only tree within 10 feet. at that point, i learned never ever to trust myself. and never ever to take my eyes off the road for even a second. the next one came when i was 18. i was taking my gf of the time home. she lived out in the country on a fairly curvy road. much fun. probably as close to driving in europe that i'll ever get. anyways, i was coming around a 90 corner, and there was a bit of a rise beyond it on the other side. a gmc yukon stopped there and appeared to be wanting to turn. as i saw it in plain view, i never thought any more of it. surely the driver would have seen me, right? nah. coming out of the turn and accelerating up to about 55ish the yukon turned left in front of me. scream. then screech. then bam. one totalled mazda 323 and a gmc yukon with a cracked rad. yeah, then i learned to never ever trust anyone else. and to despise suvs. so yeah. 5 years of driving, and only once have i been in an accident that was my fault. when i was 16, no less, too. otherwise, i've never had a ticket, and as far as icbc is concerned, i'm a little golden haired boy. now, i do speed. and i probably do things that i shouldn't be doing. but i do have a few ground rules that i always follow to ensure that i can be the safest that i can be while doing relatively unsafe things. 1. i have the utmost concentration that i can have on the roads. most people who've ever driven with me before will agree that i'm incredibly boring because i never talk. and often, i turn the radio off just so i can hear the road. total situational awareness. 2. i rarely tailgate. tailgating is probably the stupidest thing that one can do on the road. it puts you *always* at fault, and rearending someone is really hard to avoid if you have to. i rarely do this. although, there are times in which i do. but i have rules for that too. i never ever tailgate someone if they have other cars in front of them. nor if travelling at a reasonable speed. i do tailgate, however, if the car is blocking the fast lane and does not appear to be moving forwards or backwards relative to the slow lane, or if it is a two lane highway and the car ahead is going exceedingly slow given the conditions/amount of traffic being held up. but even then, in these situations, i'm prepared. foot on gas, other foot riding the brake. as well, i probably only tailgate for a few seconds at a time. i find the "ramming" technique is more effective. ;) people notice if you're there one second and gone the next more than they would for just a constant presence. 3. given adverse weather conditions, you'll find i drive like your grandma. i have much respect for rain, and even more respect for ice. 4. i don't go fast. i go "fast" as in doing 90 around a 50 rated corner, but i don't go fast. my car tops out at 156km/h. i'm glad it does. if it went any faster than that i'd probably be dead by now. 5. i have more rules, but i forget them. :P and, konrad, i drive an '86 toyota tercel hatchback. 1.6L 4cyl and like... not many horses. but i'd still kick your whitey riceboy ass. and as for shane? of course i don't know what fast is. fast is boring. too much risk of like... dying too. i'm not down with that shit. give me a curvy road and a good pair of tires and i'm happy. btw... i kinda doubt you know what speed is either.

i dont do as stupid shit as u might think. no accidents, 1 speeding ticket because i was just closing up the gap between my car and the car ahead of me i do pay alot more attention to the sides of the road now and i also bought a laser detector and dont even kid urself that an 86 tercel will beat my car in a drag race or curvy road either mister-peenut 2002 rsx? thats pretty nice that would be worth trying out on the track if u want

Well 11/12 seconds is more reasonable. And yes, you would spank Vipers with that time. Still though, that's probably alot of money put into it.
As for peenut... of course I couldn't do 6 seconds in a 6 second car. I am not a pro at drag racing. I've never even been close to a 6 second car. As of 1995/96 I believe there were only 25 people in the 6 second club. So yeah, I'd bet against me too. It still doesn't change the fact that Drag racing is not a good example of driving.
