[laloosh]

no street racing videos is the dumbest rule i have every heard off. Its not liek we race to show it ont he forums. We're gonna race no matter what.

I just post links to other forums that show "my race" lol. My speedo vids arnt on a closed coarse, they are on the highway at night, we all know this. I have about 10 videos i would love to post to show people what this car can do, but according to this site its going to encourage street racing.....lol

it maybe the dumbest rule, at least we are no the dumbest drivers racing on the streets. if its not to show it off then why dont you go to a track and race it there, it is safer and you can get some time slips, etc.
yes it does encourage it. all your groupies will see it, they will do some kind of mod to their car and then go street race it and make video of it like laloosh! yipee!
the fact that you dont think it enocurages and promotes street racing tells me you are just an idiot with no common sense.

If your goal was to offer rebuttal or make sense for that matter, you failed.

now I really want pie.

It's perfectly fine to disagree and state your case as to why, but when you have to resort to name calling, it makes it a little harder to take you seriously.

There's an old expression: "he who raises his voice first has lost the argument." Resorting to insults has pretty much the same effect.

 

[ZoomVT]

fair enough. but when you lose someone to a street racing incident you then find me and tell me what you think of the people that support it....
furthermore, i will stand by my words, and to me, anyone that supports and encourages street racing is an idiot in my book.

 

[laloosh]

a mod just broke the rules and called me a name, should i report it? lol
btw newsflash, just becuase u dont see it on this board doesnt mean it doesnt happen.

going to the track, which has been closed since december, prooves one thing, that you have the ability to hook up. Doin a lil street racing prooves which car is actually faster, not which driver. Don't get me wrong i dont go to organized street racing events, never have, never will. i just do lil pulls with people i know, hence we tape it. We do it at night and theres no1 around. i live the boonies, the only way im dying is if i hit a deer. if i hit that deer at 120 or 65 it wont matter, either way the car is ****** and im getting hurt.

please tell me how street racing is different from just flooring your car. im sure you have floored your car to triple digits since u got it. if u havnt....www.autotrader.com , you bought the wrong car

I never said it doesn't, although I agree with the board rule, because I happen to think that street racing is insane. Too many variables that only have the illusion of being controlled. I don't think they should encourage it in any way, shape or form. Don't bother using the teen sex analogy, it doesn't apply here. If you want to use that, a better one would be, should you knowingly allow your teenage daughter to go to places where it would be easy (and likely) for kids to be fooling around? No one said that banning racing videos and discussions as to where they are filmed is going to stop it, but there is no point in encouraging it or making it easier.

You of all people should know better than to try to pass off this bit of BS. Any race is always about the car and the driver. The fastest car does not always win. In fact, a better driver is more likely to take a lesser vehicle to victory than the other way around.

Of course I have. But only when there is absolutely no one else around. I made that mistake once in traffic chasing down someone who went flying by in the left lane and as soon as I caught him and realized how fast I was going I decided I was a moron and slowed the hell back down. All it takes is for one person to change lanes without looking (or one jackass to take it upon himself to "slow that a-hole down") and boom, dead drivers. I don't want that on my conscience. It would also royally piss off my wife if I made her a widow.
Driving fast on an empty road by yourself is not the same as racing. You now have two drivers who can cause your untimely death, not just yourself. Either one of you could screw up or have a mechanical failure that will take out the both of you.

the fact is, just cuz ppl do it, doesnt make it right. I have driven my car quite fast on the road, which is just as illegal as street racing. The difference is that I don't have a video camera in my hand and post that on a forum to show how cool I am. It doesnt make what im doing any more or less wrong than what youre doing, i know that. The forum made the rule because it doesnt want to promote illegal activities, especially ones that could endanger the lives of its memberss or the general public.

The important thing here is that there are rules here on the site, you have to abide by them and we have to enforce them. Its a simple as that. If you don't like it, well thats too bad...

 

[laloosh]

how bout we start a poll?

Should this forum allow car videos: track, street, donuts, whatever.
almost all forums i know have a video section that is filled with great videos.

 

[ZoomVT]

keyword: "almost"

ultimately, you are welcome to go get your fix of videos wherever you want. it just wont happen here.

this forum also has a photo/video section filled with these videos. If you ever ventured outside this section, you might notice that we also have a motorsports section for this type of thing. Track videos are allowed... street, donuts, whatever videos arent allowed. Go ahead and make ur poll if that will make you happy, but it will not accomplish anything. Just because you think its right or other forums think its right doesnt mean that it is, if I were you, I'd just let it go...

 

[laloosh]

a poll is to get the MAJORITY of peoples opinions. its not to make myself feel better nub.

 

[sleeper3]

I think it's a funny rule, but if there are so many other forums where it's fine to post street racing vids, then the solution is simple. post the videos on those forums.

I hate paying taxes every friday, but I still do it.

also, I keep seeing this thread in my user control panel and hoping that someone is talking about the stuff I have in the mail. can we get back to me please?

last time u started a thread u had a reunion btwn u and peopel from tx and fl lol.(kiss)

ok, well compile those opinions all you like, this is a privately owned site and antoine has the final say on forum rules, and he can do as he pleases. So face it, thats the rules, go somewhere else if you cant handle that. I know you don't agree with these rules, but if you step away from the situation, can't you see how they might make sense?

yes and we were still talking about me! I am my favorite subject to discuss!

Liar, everybody knows these cars are computer limited on top speed.

My friend said same and gps'ed my ass and 147 was 147 we checked lower speeds and they all matched up. I was surprised too honest. At 147 I had myself and two guys about 240lbs on a side road car started to get scary so stopped that stupid s***. I'm not trying to be cool but it read 162 on a long stretch of flat road with just me, that probably was sloped down. As far as speed limiters, This may be a safety statement, my dodge was supposed to be set at 129 but speedo said 136 137 on oem 16s. Neither cars are stock does that make a difference? Has anyone driven on {ahem) a closed course above the 6000 rpm limit of 154.5 in sixth gear?
