[mattsBLK99cSVT]

i told u would win next time do it at the dragstrip so you can post vids and stuff and not be a goof and get your thread locked up

[S2Knott]

ill try once i get new rims and a tune. (got one mildy bent rim, flat spot or whatever)

and honestly i dont see what the big deal is about street racing, yeh i know its dangerous and people die but why cant we talk about it???? please just make a section called street encounters or whatever and let us have a ball, and if you dont like street racing or like to bash it stay out! thats what every other forum except CEG has had, christ ever the ford taurus forum allows street racing talk....

[Ray]

Ford Taurus forums and "every other forum" also have childish, immature banter, grotesquely huge banners, signatures, foul language, and a general disdain for a welcoming attitude...

You want all that "it" encompasses? take off.. join those forums.. I relish the fact that I can open CEG at work, or in public, or at my parents and NEVER have to worry about what they MIGHT read over my shoulder..

PS.. street racing is against the rules here.. Simply saying "close it if you must" does not cut it. warnings and infractions are to follow from now on for breaking them.

[mattsBLK99cSVT]

i don't know man maybe there's just a bunch of old farts out here who just pimp cruise and don't drive their cars hard. heck look at my sig its the truth

[Ray]

That's me... an old fart...
and..

well.. heck.. I guess the second half of your post pertains to me, too..
so:
heck look at my sig its the truth

:D :D :D

[S2Knott]

but honestly wouldnt it make sense to give us one place to talk about it and no where else, that why if you dont want to hear about it, you dont go in the racing section?

i just think that people overreact.

just because 4 teens died in a WRX crash (which is just horrible dont get me wrong) we cant talk about racing cause it kills people?

maybe im starting a nuclear war, but i think its time i really voiced my opinion here, because i really cant stand not being able to talk about my cars on the street performance.

so please mods, just give us a section to talk about street racing in!



ps dont ban me.

[mattsBLK99cSVT]

sooo you don't pimp cruise you follow me? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[mattsBLK99cSVT]

agreed s2knott i believe dodge came out with srt. what does srt mean everyone? STREET RACING TECHNOLOGY were talking a huge corportation reputating street racing

[Ray]

You aren't starting a nuclear war.. and I wouldn't ban you.. not for speaking your mind.

It isn't that you can't talk about it in light of recent events... its actually the other way around.

recent events COULD POSSIBLY stem from someone talking about it. Someone hears someone else talk/show street racing, and thus they follow suit, attempting to do so with bad skill/luck/timing and kill themselves or someone else.

CEG does not condone it.. period.. you (the members) will not ever get a street racing forum, nor will it ever be allowed. That is one of the founding principles of this site. There are half a million sites you can get it out of your system on.. being able to do it on here isn't required.

I have been here for 6 or 7 years.. I can count on possibly one hand the members we've lost.. and on far less fingers the members we've lost to street accidents. We are just a safer site. Instead of complaining that we are ABOVE the rest of the general population of car sites, you are complaing and asking that we lower our standards to their level.

You don't like having high standards? That's fine.. some people aren't cut out to make it in a high cut-off place. Maybe those places would be better for you. Think you can cut it here? Good.. step up, try, and in 5 years or so, you'll look back to see how ignorant you were at this time (on this topic). Everyone does it.. hopefully you will last on here long enough to mature on that topic, as well.

[S2Knott]

so its you and i vs. everyone i guess!!!

[SVTJON87]

well i agree with Ray. even though I'm 20 id like to keep this forum mature. also if we start talking about street racing then we are just asking for trouble. and i know its a matter of time before they turn "Dateline NBC's to catch a predator" into "to catch the street racers". id just rather not advertise on the Internet that people are street racing.

[SVT2000]

I guess having it on the internet is much worse than having it in nearly every car oriented movie that has come out in the past 5 years.:shocked:

[SVTJON87]

yea but thats not REAL. and dumbass kids that kill people all to often don't realize that. if we talk about it then we are encouraging it. if you want to talk about it so bad goto www.newcougar.org they have a "road tales" section.
I'm done talking about this issue... end

[98SVTC]

I guess anyone who wants to talk street racing can start their own forum. :idea: FWIW, I'd sure be :mad: if someone who was street racing lost control and crashed into any vehicle I was driviing. If they were't dead from the crash, they they might wish they were after I got finished with them.

Excellent...he took your advice. :rolleyes:

Bob, I think you really should try and be more careful. I know your young and want to push your car hard and race, and I'd love to do the same, but there is a time and place for everything man, and an industrial park is NOT the place. Try going to some car show and drag strips and race there. Granted it'll cost you something, but it's much more fun than if you were to race in an industrial park and possibly hurt yourself. We wouldn't want anyone on these boards getting hurt. :nonono: And I'll probably get a warning for this, but I have witnessed a race in an industrial park, we have one in town, and let me tell you, it's not cool. I nearly watched one of my friends get into a head-on collision. And not to mention, once they had finished, not two minutes had passed until a cop drove by. BAD IDEA. Your going to get a nasty ticket or get yourself hurt. You can LEGALLY drive your car hard you know. No one says you can't pull away fast from stop lights/signs or pulling out of streets. Heck I do that all the time :shrug:

[Ray]

no warnings for telling true tales of why we don't allow it.

And TECHNICALLY, you can't "legally" pull away hard.. Its called "excessive acceleration" and carries a ticket/fine as well, even if you are WELL under the speed limit.

[97vulcan]

Ray,

Before joining this forum I was a part, and still am a part of the TCCA. I think you have it all wrong. That forum is a wealth of knowledge, and if you can show me where people are swearing, and all the other things you said about it, than please do, however in my short time, and I am just making a statement I've found more of that here, and just people being short with the newbies than I've ever seen in the TCCA. Just my .02

Like Ray has said, CEG cant force people not to street race, or speed, or campaign for Drive 55 to stay alive. We can however eliminate any discussion that would promote it. I used to think like you did and have come to see (in a short amount of time) that its not a necessary feature, CEG is not missing anything because it lacks a street racing forum. If you feel so inclined, you own an SVT vehicle and can post your kill stories over on SVTperformance... right in between the ones with 600hp cobras and 800 hp porsche 996.

agreed s2knott i believe dodge came out with srt. what does srt mean everyone? STREET RACING TECHNOLOGY were talking a huge corportation reputating street racing

Wrong,

Street and Racing Technology, they dont condone street racing either

[zorrex]

And TECHNICALLY, you can't "legally" pull away hard.. Its called "excessive acceleration" and carries a ticket/fine as well, even if you are WELL under the speed limit.

Well from my experience (not getting pulled over for it ever...) and from what other people have told me (for getting pulled over for it...), it seems the cop will care if your tires spin out of even chirp. Otherwise as long as your under the speed limit they won't care as much. Plenty-a-cop have followed me out of parking lots cuz I pull out fast (love the sound of the engine! :drool: ), but they become disappointed when I top off at no more than 5 mph over the speed limit...

[HolyRollerzC3]

no warnings for telling true tales of why we don't allow it.

And TECHNICALLY, you can't "legally" pull away hard.. Its called "excessive acceleration" and carries a ticket/fine as well, even if you are WELL under the speed limit.


actually, here in florida, its a 113.50 dollar fine called "exhibition of speed/acceleration"! Trust me on that one, was doing 40 in a 45 when the cop pulled me over. I was like, there was no way I was speeding, but he said that after I started going, he coudl tell I got on it through first and partially into second, so hit his lights before I continued. Exhibition of acceleration was the ticket, I didnt think it was illegal as long as you didn't burn the tires. He told me thats called unsafe start, and everything besides driving like a grandma is technically illegal... he was making a point with me though! Jerk!

[Ray]

Well from my experience (not getting pulled over for it ever...)

that doesn't mean anything: I've never gone to jail for the porn I look at.. but.. uh...... I mean........ wait.. so... uhm..



WOW.. its hot in here..

[SVT_Mystique]

I think its fair to only talk about racing if its on the track. You can prove it if you whoop someone there. Just think if there was a section on here for street racing how many ridiculous stories would be posted. You can always post vids to streetfire.net and I'm sure a lot of people from this forum would see them... plus you would have a much larger audience.. I mean that would be the ultimate goal of posting a street racing story to brag and boast about it to as many people as possible right :shrug:

[novellino21]

I will add my 2cents to this, i used to be a probe owner and i street raced all the time. After i got my SVT i quit street racing b/c to me its not worth getting a ticket and then paying double my insurence b/c its not like insurence isnt expensive as it is for an SVT.
But as far as saftey goes, i dont hear too much about people dieing in street racing. More people die driving under the influence than street racing. Plus i think its just as dangerous to be on a track than on the street. The track is better b/c it's legal and if you did crash they're are medics there to help immediatly(the street does not have that). Either way you look at it it's dangerous and people can and have died from it, but there is a right way and a wrong way to race.

As far as makeing a street racing section. Why support something that is illegal? it's like trying to make a section that supports (and convinces people) to smoke crack all the time. Its not cool, it is illegal, and there are consequences. So no, i do not support street racing and i do like the fact that this is a clean forum for ALL AGES.

[Contrapaul]

Thanks for directing s2knott to newcougar... :nonono: He posted that he just "stumbled on" to our site, and then argued with someone about "tuning" and racing and such.

Just so everyone is aware, although we have a road tales section, but we are not hondacivicforums... sure, there are races posted, but lately, there have been plenty of arguments over racing, speeding, and so on. The general consensus is that street racing is completely wrong, but a blind eye can be turned for an occasional stoplight showdown.

In the future please don't send people to us that will cause trouble.

[S2Knott]

first of all i said the word "stumble" no where in my post on newcougar, and specifically described my situation at ceg.

[SVT2000]

With all this talk of street racing shouldn't this thread be closed by now!? I know I'm feeling the urge to go out and race some poser *****es!

[Ray]

talk of the SUBJECT is not wrong.. they are debating their stance (which is perfectly acceptable) and the site is stating its position (which is completely immovable).

Nobody is talking about their personal stories, just their stance on the subject matter as a whole. So you can probably leave the moderating to me, okay?

[Contrapaul]

look, I'm not pissed that you came to neco, just the manner that you did, and whoever followed you, "justanoob", to continue your fight... I'm not sure I see the point of all this though, what started the argument.

[Ray]

this (http://www.contour.org/ceg-vb/showthread.php?t=17446) thread is the "locked" thread the original poster is referring to. Nothing huge started it.. We simply have a "zero tolerance" position on street racing, both implied or proven. We don't allow speedo pictures (at any speed) nor talk of excessive speed while driving.. period.

all involved knew this, and still the comment(s) were made followed by "lock it if you must", as if that "undid" his blatant disregard for the rules HE agreed to when joining. Thus, I locked it, and this thread was born, and the argument ensued over what is fair.

[Contrapaul]

I understand now, but in his defense, it doesn't look like anyone was saying anything about why racing should never take place on the street, why it is illegal, why it makes others look bad, etc... The kid was talking about a guy from his school, what do you think was going to happen, them go to a track to fight it out? Everyone just kept saying that the 3l would take the gsr, or the gsr would take the 3l... nothing about how svt are know to be faster, you needn't prove it...

I understand the rules around here, just don't understand why you all wouldn't condemn racing until after the fact, and it was pretty obvious reading through that thread that a race would take place.

[SVT2000]

Let's get this sucker locked plain and simple. Let me indulge on my tales, like the time I nearly beat a g35 ON THE FREEWAY zpping and dashing inbetween cars reaching nearly 120 MPH... MPH, or getting pwned by an SRT8, and trying to screw with an SER. Now we're done here. :crazy:

[Ray]

Well.. some can take the mature and rational approach.. like discussing things (such as the reply:)

Our member are sentient beings with thoughts and will power and the ability to control their actions, and their posts. This is why we don't lock any/every thread that looks like it MIGHT result in a street racing ending. Until it actually takes that turn, our members are allowed to utilize their best judgement. We don't micro-manage.

There are also those who CAN'T take the mature and rational approach. And this thread is treated as their own.. to do with as they please.. but it doesn't work that way.. fortunately, all that happens is that they receive an infraction, and possible ban. :D


SVT2000: infractions to follow for blatant violations, against previous warnings and posted rules. If you want to moderate a forum, you have to be a moderator, first. Leave the closings up to us, huh?

[SVT2000]

Wait wait, the thead is my own to be treated as I wish.. but it isn't.. how's that work?

Do you get payed to be a mod here?

Ford Taurus forums and "every other forum" also have childish, immature banter, grotesquely huge banners, signatures, foul language, and a general disdain for a welcoming attitude...

I would just like to state that the above quote was not directed at TCCA, nor anything particular at that site. I have never been to the TCCA site, nor have I heard anything wrong with it.

The entire quote was taken as an aside to the comments about "other" forums having street racing forums. I simply left the "Taurus" name in there because it was relevant to S2Knott's comments.

Having re-read my original comment, it made it seem as though the TCCA was plauged by immaturish banter, and foul language, etc.. this is not the case, at least from what I've heard about it. I apologize for what seemed like a personal statement about the TCCA specifically, and would like to reiterate that the comment was a GENERAL statement about the VAST majority of forums on the internet. I just left the Taurus name in there to tie in to S2Knott's comment for relevance. The TCCA is in no way actually perceived this way.

[Sprebound]

In my opinion...why do you even street race in a contour. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the hell out of my car and I do occasionally drive spirited...but the contour isn't a drag car. Racing on the street and bragging about it puts you on the same level as the honda boys with their folgers coffee can exhaust, 14 foot tall spoilers and 23 flip down/up/sideways lcds... They think that because there is a vtec sticker on the side of the car, that means that they are obligated to race every car they meet at a stoplight, even those with 8 more cylinders than them. Take it to a road track, or autoX track and then talk about it. It takes a lot more skill to turn left and right while going fast, and to be good at it. But of course, this is all of my opinion. Carry on with the worthless banter.

[Sprebound]

Well...regardless...it takes more skill to race on a track than to go in a straight line. No matter what kind of race that it is, do it on a track. Getting a ticket and/or hurting/killing yourself isn't worth the risk. But feel free to do what you wanna do, no one is going to show sympathy for your lack of common sense.

Apparently not? You'd never think it. I even made a poll once.. "How old do you think I am".

among the responses were "55?"

"mid 40's" and "meh.. older than most people on here".

And yes.. almost 27.

I thought you were early 30ish. LOL.

But anywho, my two cents on the subject. SVT is not a drag car, who cares what you beat in a race. I don't. I am more interested in people auto crossing them and seeing what they can beat that way.

I seem to get that alot to Ray! After my recent promotion at work My age has come into question & my survey turned up mid 30's to 40's. Turns out I'm the youngest person in my entire department. Most of my guys have kids older than me. I think we are actually the same age, but Contour2gq doesn't think so!

[Pen_Two]

I don't understand what the greatness is behind street racing. When I had a POS Hyundai...I drove it like an idiot and thought it was a race car (I was also 16).

Now that I have a fairly nice CSVT to drive around in, I don't rag on it all that much. Occasionally I'll open the throttle up...but that's it. I know it isn't fast...but it's faster than a wide variety of cars around my area. Though I don't have to race someone to prove anything to them.

If they want to drive erratically in an effort to pass me while I do the highway speed limit...then let them. They're just going to get a shocking wake up call one day when they wreck their car and kill any occupants in their car or the car they collide with.

Is that a little cold to say? Maybe...but it's the only way they'll learn.

[DanMyers]

IDK but it's a long one that was pretty pointless, aside from the fact that IMO street racing is the dumbest thing ever, if you really want to race me then you can find the time and money to meet me at a track. Now I may not have an SVT like everyone else, hell, my secondaries are still not working, but I still enjoy my cars ability to take corners and accelerate up to speed quickly to avoid those people who don't seem to know what a brake pedal is, does that mean I'm gonna go out and street race? Of course not, I like living too much, and I like it when I'm not potentially harming myself or anyone else. What's the draw to street racing anyway? There's usually traffic in the way, it's always straight, and if you do encounter corners you can't even use the entire road making it very restrictive, plus there's always big brother watching you waiting to collect some of your money. Do it if you want, but don't come around here doing it, 'cause if you hurt my friends or family like the idiots running from the police who nearly head on'd my mom (they missed and ended up in the river haha), soon after you'll find the barrel of an XD .45 in your mouth and a very unhappy man standing behind it.

What's the draw to street racing anyway?Well, from a purely historic standpoint, street racing has been around for at least six if not seven (almost eight) decades. It's just that back in the early days, there weren't too many cars on the road like there are these days. My first ex father in law used to have to go out to a "nearby" dry lake bed, near where Edwards AFB is today, to race back in the 40's - 50's. That's quite a putt from the Los Angeles area just to do a little racing but there really weren't all that many drag strips around yet. Of course street racing has been glorified in songs and movies from the 50's on up to today and that has helped keep it in everyone's mind. There must be some fundamental part of the human DNA to cause us to want to compete and some people do it scholastically and some do it physically.
