share your illegal street racing stories

[Remus325]

heh theres some heavily modded S2000s there , but reading that forum, you would think the S2000's the fastest car in the world.

The S2000 is pretty fast to start, with a century sprint approx that of a Boxster S. It is also light and once you add a Comptech SC like many of the guys on the board that thing pretty much hauls ass. Will walk almost anything that moves. But many of the stock ones do get beat esp by 996TTs and modded dodge SRTs (see threads). 8)

Street racers don't exist. Only street ricers do.

Naturally aspirated S2000s are the ones holding the club racing S2000 lap records, not the FIed ones. This is because it is more cost effective to take move less mass at reasonable power, than move more mass wirh more power and suffer the wear. The big power FI S2K guys have not done anything great on track because they either do not care about laptimes, or because they takea a wrong approach to it, or because their setups are not engineered properly.

Re: share your illegal street racing stories

hi

i bet there are a lot of us who race from traffic lights to lights. anyone wanna share their stories? which cars did u race with etc? he he

yah.. one time I was racing a ferrari and then two little kids ran out on the road. I managed to avoid one of them, but the ferrari guy clipped one of them killing her instantly. After the snap reaction to avoid the kids, I lost control of my car (zonda S) and ploughed into a road side hawker center. Thankfully no one died - only a few were maimed.

The cops showed up and arrested us two drivers. I thought my life was over, but fortunately for us, both our rich daddies have friends in high places and we're out of trouble. hee hee

asshole,

i thought you would keep a good secret well.

Anyway, the kid didn't die, he just got clipped. Anyway i already sold off my ferrari and got the Lambo instead.

Next time ill smack you if you leak anymore stuff.

I remember there was this one time I raced against 2 lanes of numerous incoming cars as I made a dash from the traffic light at Paragon to Crown Prince hotel when it was red. I managed to hastily beat the aggressive oncoming traffic by mere split-seconds ... illegal but sure as a hell an adrenaline rush!

Ehehehehehehehe !

 

[Racebred]

how much does an add-on turbo kit weigh anyway. not much right?

there was a time when a little COE starlet wanted to race with me but i moved to the centre lane to mind my own business, he chiet from the right but while avoiding a car on the right he spun 270 on the road. the entire line of traffic stopped 20 metres from his car to wait for him to slowly turn back round. malu ricer.

Club racing rules may forbid FI to maintain a level playing field. Trackies in general care more about suspension setup and getting the correct racing lines. Street ricers/racers care more about brute power and 1/4 mile timings hence FI. I'm sure it is possible for a well setup FIed car to beat a well set up NA car on track. Just that prepping the FIed monster for the track will be much more costly. That also depends on the track (lots of curves vs lots of straights)

 

[Shaun]

Nope, FI is not forbidden in the groups I mention.

Given fixed engine - fixed number of cylinders, fixed cylinder geometry.....

The closer the power target is to stock, the more sensible it is to stay NA because of the costs. However, once power target requires specific outputs within 80% of maximum NA specific outputs, it reverses and NA becomes the significantly costlier option (factoring in teardown intervals and component life). Moving on up into the 80-250% of maximum NA specific output, NA becomes far more expensive than FI - easily 3,4,500% the cost of FI. In fact the NA cost curve goes asymptotic at some point and fails to meet the power requirement.

Haha, I remember that Starlet story! Quite infamous le... :roll:

Oh ytd, I saw a SFR-plate Aston Martin on the CTE at night (couldn't tell which model, butts all looks e same to me!), but it wasn't gunning, so... :errr:

If you think a turbo S2000 can walk anything on the raod you need to get out more.

Ouch! I did not say that it will walk anything but rather it will walk ALMOST anything on the road. An FIed S2000 should beat your average stock M3, boxster s, evo, sti, 996 C2/4, vette, etc. Needless to say it may not do well against CGTs, lambos, ferraris, radicals, and modded sub 11 / 12s cars. But how many sub 11 /12s cars do you meet on the freeways anyways ... 1 out of 100, one out of 1000?

There are 7/8 second street-rice cars here in Houston. Sometimes we joke that there are 12 second tow trucks around here.

Shaun, you missed the most important bit, who won? the Ferrari or the Zonda S? The rest of the stuff is just the usual collateral damage that is an acceptable part of street racing :laughlik:

[Shaun]

initially we had amazingly lined up after both crashes.. opposite sides of the road.. couldn't tell who won. But then the Ferrari fool stood around stupidly to gawk at the little girl's brains laying out on the road, so I took the opportunity to limp my damaged car further up the parallel to the road. I managed to put half a car length between my car and his. Couldn't go any further because one of the ripped tires and some of the ripped bodywork had caught and jammed up the wheel

hahaha super detailed man shaun...

hahahah! Can't imagine 12 s tow trucks chasing after 7 secs ricers! The jap import scene must be huge in houston given the predominant asian (chinese, korean, vietnamese) and latino population. Heard that thanks to the urban sprawl, cars and people alike are bigger in Houston than in Boston

I'm hoping that the post is not true, nonetheless, if it really did happen the way you said it did, my heart goes out to the family of the kid whose life was cut short. I totally agree with the bros out there that it's recklessness that kill, and that speed is not so much so the culprit at play, but doing that kind of speeds in excess of the legal limit clearly demonstrates outright recklessness, please don't ever do it again on our streets, there are tracks out there for you to satisfy your need for speed.

One innocent by-stander's life lost is one life too many, be sensible please

 

[Shaun]

joke lah

 

[Whisky_Tango]

Both of them playing with control cars and barbie dolls lah. kekeke

 

[Racebred]

shaun you really shouldnt have. i'm so disappointed in you. you even have to say a little girl's life is just a joke lah.

next time please be sensible and no more trading some innocent life for a moment's thrill.
