WOOOOOOOOW! I just had a race of all races... So i am on my way home on a quiet residential street when I spot a Gallardo facing me at a 4 way stop.. He goes first and I quickly pull a u turn and follow him.. We get to a light and I pull in behind him in the left turn lane and I follow him, I pull into the right lane and let er dangle. (Being a lambo owner he thinks I am some slow pos ricer) realizes my car isnt all that slow. He pulls up beside me and from about 80 he decides to go... I pop it in third and he pulls about half a car on me... I hit full boost (19 psi) and stay right with him all the way to 180km. We came up fast on traffic and it ended in a hurry. We came to a red light were he made a right, I followed and he didnt want to go again.. This is the best part... So we are coming to the 403 on ramp and what does he do a massive ricer fly by lol! All I have to say is that is one LOOOOOOOOOOUD CAR! OBV. I didnt follow him on the highway as he would have spanked me! But HEY I am very impressed with my car and how I kept up! WOW the adrenalin was pumpin!

Great Night

WOW. Man you are really playing with the big guys now. Good job.

Too bad you couldnt spank him...
That woulda been absolutly hysterical... Lambo guy decides to show you what a real car, and sees his 1/4 million dollar lamborghini gets spanked by an old 1992 car with a third the number of cylinders haha
you must get more boost!!! I think its time for you to get an AVCR... boost by gear

For low boost and a basic tune my car did well... Once my car is in tune I will turn up the boost and then it will be a different story but for now. I am Impressed.

60 Trim Rocks!

Impressed I am to, and proud now that's something to talk about

Dude being a Lambo he though, "oh no another idiot chasing me"

not ricer, idiot.

I feel sorry for ever Lambo owner that has not only to deal with the 300,000 price tag, but fools like this fello.

I am a fool/idiot because I raced a Lambo?

If he was more than willing I dont see how I am a idoit??

Thanks....

Hey NOOB, why don't you watch your mouth, what gives you the right to start mouthing off to people in here. Even if that was said jokingly its still offensive. Do you even own a car that could keep up to a Lamborghini? Don't bother answering that because you just made me not give a sh!t.

If you don't have anything nice to say, slam your head against your desk then think again.

There's opinions and theres being plain rude for no reason.

Im sure if you had a 400hp+ car you wouldn't race a lambo right?, If you have a lambo and dont want to race you dont keep ripping it by and try to go with the guy. Get a life

On a better note maybe I will run into Mr Gallardo when my car is in tune running higher boost and give him a beating ...

Mike I still have to take you for a rip in the beast!

Thanks

I think daniel was stating what the lambo guy was thinking, not what he was thinking.

I think I know exactly what he was stating Mike, if you re-read it like I did before posting, you'll see he even says "but fools like this fello."

And even with millions of dollars, I would imagine the guy wouldn't be thinking that the person who modded this 1992 car he just raced was an idiot. Clearly if you can take a 15 second car, and have the skill to modify (and drive it) to the point of keeping up with an expensive super car, idiot would be the furthest from my mind.

Harrison, I definitely do, I've been so busy lately, I think maybe I'll come out to one of the Mississauga meets. I can't wait!

Again, GOOD RACE!!

I don't know who pushed what and why who where who is fast.

But that 180 better have not been done on a street.

Just out of curiousity, where did this take place? Oakville? I ask only because encounters with Lambos are (let's face it) rare. Were you in your neighborhood? Maybe the guy's a new resident of that neighborhood. Seems to me if you kept driving around there, you'd be sure to run into him again, no?

Trafalger and Dundas... ya he could be a new guy around.. I am out alot and I never have see him before. I have been spending alot of time tuning and would love to run into him again:) I figure maybe it was somebodys relative it was easter sunday.

I will keep my eyes peeled!

What colour was it? Loud as hell fits 1/2 the description of the one I was gonna pick on...

I see. at the end he cals him a fool.
I pitty the fool.

Its a white one... I havnt seen it around. I am sure Paul you have seen the yellow Diablo??

Bah. That Dan guy can't spell anyway.

I was thinking that myself, though. How many of you get challenged by Civics with big mufflers every hour or so? What do you think of them?

I think the respect comes when you can stay with them, or beating them is even better. And still, at the end of the day, you own a Lambo. And the other guy...doesn't. *Laugh*

I'm sure the Lambo wasn't too annoyed, consider that he's probably sitting in $10k+ hand-stitched leather seats. And whatever songs he was listening to were played on a stereo worth more than my car.

But nice run, Harrison. Probably look twice when another 1G pulls up next to him

so many people on this site bitch when new street racing laws/legislature come down yet so many people encourages this?

keep it on the track
Kendall

Agreed, but I don't think too many people here, with heavily modded cars, would turn down a race against a $200,000 + car. Taking the car up to a 180km/h on regular streets is another story.

man i would love to see a lambo blow past my gs and then a '92 talon right on its heels. that would be awesome.

that is absolutely the reason to build and be proud of our cars. They are proven again and again to be giant killers if properly built, maintained and driven.

Absolutely perfect. You have to find him and see if you can get him from a stop. He has awd and turbo too, so he has NO, zip, zero, nada,zilch excuse if you beat him in ANY race!!

Have you changed your cams yet?

No still stock cams... I want to run at the track and see what sort of numbers I do on stock cams and then throw FP2's in and feel the difference.
Ya I would love to run into this guy again it would be quite fun!

I would have LOVED to have been in the car for that one. Just remember what I said to you Harrison, and so far your living up to it! I will absolutely go with you to the track the first time you decide to go.

Mike its not about turning down a race.

Its about following one like child molester.

First off, this is why we all pay high insurance rates (those of us under 25)

And all street racers should be killed the way they used to kill witches in the 1600s.

Why should I pay 290 a month for insurance when I have a clean record?? Never caused an accident, let alone never been in one.

Next time you think about dropping the clutch at a light, think of the bigger picture, its part of the reason why young people get harassed for putting an intake on a car. Cause we get labeled as retards like this chap.

I got a complaint, so here's my thought.

I think he's an idiot for street racing too, but I will keep my thoughts to myself.

But, to call him one on here, in a section that deals with such things isn't very polite, so please keep the name calling to a minimum and play nice guys.

He should still STOP his steet racing, and if he gets caught under the new laws about to go into place, then I hope he goes to jail and loses his license for a decade.

I agree.. I have had one race in my car.. and it was the Lambo... I understand everyones feelings on street racing and I too agree it is stupid. This one occasion was quite rare.

Thanks

Cool.
I can feel the love.

Are you talking about the Lambo having a turbo? Cause if you are, they dont have turbos. If your NOT talking about the Lambo and talking about something else, im an idiot and apologize.

My take on it is like speed limits. There are those that can do it responsibly, and those that can't. I've run people from a light, and on a highway...and cut out early after stomping them. Only to watch them barrel on at high speed through town, or on the wrong side of the road around a corner.

Nothing dangerous about what *I'm* doing, but I don't know what they're thinking. They're probably not.

So I'm more than willing to comply with laws (closely enough) to make sure that the baggy-pants, gold-clad, sideways cap-wearing Rikky Racerz of the World get what they deserve. Yo.

Nicely said!
-Manuel

Is it though?

Stereotypes are what get us in trouble with the cops, for having a lowered car with tints and a 3" exhaust.

How is getting pulled over for having that "Rikky Racerz" look any different from getting pulled over for the aforementioned, if neither are actually street racing?

It's profiling & harassment either way.

Please, separate the look from the action.

Agreed Rob.

But everytime a pregnate women dies as victom of street racing, cops take it out on us with 3inch exhausts and tints.

Street racing manufactures stereotypes.

To whomever said, "dude its a $200,000 car would you turn down the race"

So because its a 200,000$$ car, street racing is all of a sudden okay???

I'm sorry, but street racing is like racism, pointless, and the world could do a lot better without.

Sorry Andrew, we all get carried away when we are passionate on certain topics, this just happends to be mine. Street racing hit close to home, I have a friend whos in a wheel chair for life from a motorcycle accident. Not street racing, but regardless being careless with machinary which can take your life away.

Its all pointless, and if all of us just left racing at the track, than some of our friends might still be here.

So if I want to see how fast my car is after whatever mod I have to wait to go to the track and pay 40 bucks and probably get pulled over on the way in? not to mention most people cant get out there more then a few times a year.

Street racing is dumb when both guys are going from 0-200 on a road that has other cars around. If you are on a road like trafalger and dundas at night like Harry was and there are no other cars in sight and you are able to drive your car to half its top speed without losing control then by all means. I have had tons of races with fast cars but I shut it down before I am breaking the law to much. I have also never had a speeding ticket, because I dont constantly drive like an idiot racing at every light like these kids who are killing everyone with dumb street racing accidents.

Yeah rob,
Profiling its not a good thing at all, but in some cases, its just so true.
Exemple, last season just before going to the lapday at shannonville i decide to see how spike was running ,
so i gave it gas troughout the whole medowvale exit ramp and i reach maybe 180kmh, just before reaching the auctual highway i took it down to the speed limit and merged.

Ones on the highway i saw the lights of police car right behind me.
I though for sure i was going to loose my license right there. So, an older police officer came to my car and ask me if had any outstanding tickets i told that no i didnt have any, he asked me where was i going i showed him my halmet and told him that i was going to the track and that i usually dont speed (which is true).

After checking my driving record he came back and told me that he was letting me go because i looked like i was telling the truth.
what do you think would it happen to the "Rikky Racer".

Now, how is diferent getting pulled over for having that "Rikky Racer" look, from being pull over for having a 3" exhaust?.

Well the diference is that the "Rikky Racer" dont only look like one but it actually act like one, While the actual entusiast thinks about stuff that could come out of a situation in this case speeding just for speeding while there is a ton of trafic ahead,
The Rikky racer just wont, i come across this guys all the time, they pull at a light besides you, and rev their engine like crazy, what i do is rev it too, and then watch them go like crazy when green light turns.

-Manuel

Street racing is dumb period, so you dont break the law too much just a little, and you dont constantly drive like an idiot just a little? and YOU can decide when its safe to race on a public street ? late at night on a clear road you cannot predict what going to happen whos gonna pull out, what animal is gonna run out.
It happens and if you ever have to notify a family of an accident or clean up the aftermath of an accident that was completely avoidable you may see the zero tolerance side of things
Kendall

Yes, Manuel, I'm sure it did help you a bit to not get a ticket by not meeting both of those stereotypes!
It wasn't really the best example though, because you were in fact speeding.
I will say you got off lucky that time.

I keep a pretty low key myself, and my point is that the choice to do so should not affect my chances of getting pulled over so long as I'm playing nice.

I agree with all the chatter that has gone on but I didnt intend to start a battle on weather street racing is a good idea or not. I am not one to race often let alone at all, you can ask Sean D or anybody that knows my driving. I am young and can not afford to loose my lisence or even pay a ticket.

I just wanted to say hey a fellow dsm'er kept up with a lambo Gallardo. I thought it was a good kill for a change instead of "hey guys i just raced my buddies cavalier and smoked it" kind of story. Sorry to have offended anyone or stirred emotions.

Thanks

So I guess you have never broken a law while driving? never gone over the speed limit? thats breaking the law just a little bit to isnt it? Whats the point in even having a section for this type of thing if aprantly everyone on this board has never raced before? I was simply stating the fact that I am not going to say that I have never street raced because I have, I dont go looking for races and I never go to fast for the driving situation I am in.

You can ask anyone who has been on this board longer then you that this section had probably 80 percent more traffic then it does now. I think that is a good thing and that street racing has been cracked down on but lighten up a little there never was never comments like this made to the people that posted way more dangerous races on here before ( racing until 240 km/h and such). Lets just drop it, I believe dsmers in general are good drivers and are not the drivers who you usually see on the news but most of us wont turn down a stoplight race with a car such as a lambo.

Exactly. Where do you draw the line, Kendall? Some people say that modding cars is 'dumb, period'. Why do you need to go any faster than you do now? Some would say that any car capable of speeds over 80km/hr should be outlawed. And so on, and so on... Theoretically, until we all sit in computer-controlled boxes moving at 30km/hr, we won't be safe...

And it can be called 'stereotype', but I call it '7 times out of 10'. I used the 'Rikky Racer' analogy because MOST of these type kids have the money, the 'modz', the 'tude, and the look... But they can't drive to save their lives, and usually TAKE someone elses. Of course, I know some clean-cut guys that are the same way... (You reading this, Kris? )

That's why the crackdowns have to be global, unfortunately. If they could seperate the capable drivers from the bad ones, there's no way they could actually tell that on the street.

my comments were directed soley towards those who were openly admitting to street racing, i have no problem with modded cars i have one myself, and i have no problem with building a vehicle to go faster, i also said nothing about stereotypes? nor am i stereotyping as my only comments were directed to those on here who said they street race, i dont care if your racing a mini van or a riced out civic or a lambo or a dsm, you can do whatever you want to your vehicles but nobody has the right to put other peoples lives at risk by racing on public streets.

The Stereotype thing was a general comment aimed at an earlier reply.

But that's the thing, Kendall. Why spend the money to mod the car when you're not going to use the extra power? You're ONLY going to drive it fast on the track? Yeah, right.

I remember the lawyer for Chrysler's comment about my stock Talon,

"You bought a powerful sports car...and you race it all the time don't you? You wouldn't have a car that fast if you weren't abusing it at speeds higher than 160 all the time, would you?"

"No, sir. I do that on occasion, but usually drive around the speed limits."

"Yeah, right. Sure you do." *Rolls eyes at judge*

But you have to admit, 7 times out of 10, it fits. That's why I bought a 4 door Passat this time around. Why get a sports car if you're going to be persecuted for using it, or even having it?

^^^
You make it sound like there's no fun to be had below the speed limit... I guess that's a side-effect of being out of DSMs for so long We'll call it "acceleration withdrawl syndrome"

In my opinion, there's a huge difference between "street racing" and simply driving fast or accelerating quickly.
If I read into it properly, I think Kendall was only commenting on "street racing", where you have two cars side by side whose only real concern is being ahead of the competition.

So yes, you can draw a line.
Keep the "racing" at the track, and if you're going fast on the street, you had better make safety your first concern.

exactly,

I guess that part I missed. Even when someone tried running against me, safety was ALWAYS my first concern. I have no ego to bruise. Like I said, I stopped after I saw the stupidity others would practice AFTER I HAD BOWED OUT. It only encourages them.

The trouble is that cops may be all to quick to equate 'driving fast' or 'accelerating quickly' (I think accelerating 'furiously' is an actual offense) with 'street racing'. I've seen people pulled over for accelerating too quickly before, even though it usually never went to court.

This Passat isn't bad, but it merely pulls the tires since it's not AWD. Once I get the chip in it'll be even worse, and then it'll only be as powerful as a stock DSM...

As a side note the majority of people who get busted for street racing are older than me. Only because they have enough money to pay to go fast so dont blame it all on kids. I know of 4 guys older than me by 7 year at least who have all been nailed for racing. I dont race cause I have a shitty cav right now( which I'm trying to change)

Holy baby jebus this thread is still alive?

Give it up, street racing is one of the stupidest things you can do.

And honestly if your getting your kicks below the speed limit?? than put the training wheels back on your bike and call it a day

Again... Dan, I'd quit while I was ahead if I were you.
