Dark_5.0 · 08-08-2002, 11:27 AM

I think it will make for an interesting discussion tomorrow.

The preview looked interesting and entertaining.

Later,

DAN-MAN · 08-08-2002, 12:27 PM

I missed it. What happened? Who was on there? What'd they talk about?

Dan.

Hethj7 · 08-08-2002, 03:07 PM

It comes on tonight (Thursday). "It" is an MTV show on street racing. Looks like it could be interesting, but I bet there is way to much rice in it.

Dark_5.0 · 08-08-2002, 03:14 PM

I envy the import guys. It is almost impossible to be accused of drag racing when you only trap 70mph in the 1/4.

They get to have all the fun.

LOL!!!! That is sooo true. I guess all they can get is reckless driving since the excessive negative camber of their suspension causes them to wander and veer unexpectedly all over the road.....it may also just be their racing "style".

LayanRubr · 08-08-2002, 06:58 PM

Going to watch with buds tonite to make fun of it

Also (small town here) is doing a local story about the "scene, yo" in the town for drag racing. Not even drag racing really

Oh well maybe I'll have some uncle bens rice tonite to better myself

Stang_Crazy · 08-08-2002, 08:29 PM

It comes on in a half hour and I don't know if I'm going to watch it or not. I know if I don't watch it, I'll regret it and would wander just how bad they portrayed street racing...on the other hand, if I watch it, I know I'm going to be yelling at my T.V. and throwing things at it in frustration at what I am seeing. Should make for some VERY interesting and heated conversation.

jj_jonathon · 08-08-2002, 10:03 PM

what a JOKE....all crappy imports...erg! i was waiting for a 2003 cobra to roll through and kick all their asses! lol...

Stang_Crazy · 08-08-2002, 10:15 PM

Well, I watched it and all I can say is that I have my 6-pack back now. I laughed so much throughout the show that it almost hurt. The guy "Greg" was the $hit with his Integra. Oh boy, it had 220 hp... and with nirtous it had 320 hp. And everyone thought he was the poop. That's too bad it kept breaking down on him

What about the cheesy police man. "People always ask, don't you have anything better to do? And our answer is...well, no we don't" And he had that little half smile/laugh going while he said that. It was funny to see the cops bust out the tape measure to measure the ride height of that one car. He got busted for all kinds of stuff. Hehe. And I didn't know that I needed the proper "papers" for my "modified" air intake. HAHA

That show was a GROSS display of what REAL racing is NOT about. Why were there like 500 kids standing around and only 1 or 2 races?? I can't wait to see how many cops are gonna be out in the next week because of this program.

The only good part of the show was the little 5 minute piece about how street racing was dangerous and how you might get hurt or even killed. But after that piece, they went back to showing more racing. Hmmm, wonder why they did that? Well that's all that I can rant for now...

LayanRubr · 08-08-2002, 10:29 PM

Yeah, Stang_Crazy, your right. The police section was the only good part. The rest was all crap. It was just dumb

Btw, for all who missed it they'll defintely show re-runs sometime during the day.

Dark_5.0 · 08-08-2002, 10:46 PM

I actually enjoyed it and IMO this is what street racing is all about. Put up or shut up and put your money where your mouth is. Those import guys had more balls than most domestic guys I know. I thought that the 4 door integra was a reel sleeper.

Maybe I am just strange, but the seemed to be legit to me

Later,

The Deuce · 08-08-2002, 11:39 PM

Going to have to look for it on the net, because I don't have cable. Unless somebody recorded it and wants to mail me a copy, hint hint.

jj_jonathon · 08-08-2002, 11:48 PM

fast and the furious was just on hbo....man..everytime i see that charger pop that wheelie i get chills...hehe...its a wonderful reminder as to how great american muscle is....and all those damn ricers who "learned" from TFATF seem to always forget the ending...

...that supra was supposed to symbolize the faster import in the movie...yet without his nitrous he was nothing compared to the charger...booya! i love that car...

That show SUCKED last night! I would like to have seen some real street gatherings with tons of cars, etc, I guess.
Hey JJ: I'll be in Gainesville this weekend and may head out to the track Sat afternoon...you gonna be out there?
Take it easy & let me know!
later!

89 Cobra LX · 08-09-2002, 09:00 AM

It was fairly entertaining. None of those cars was anything special.

Those cops were real jerk-offs. Did you see them trying to bust that kids balls for a cold air intake? I would've told the cop "Show me where it's illegal to have a different air filter and then you can tow my car. Otherwise, go find some thug-gang-banger-murderers and earn your pay tonight." I don't know, those pigs really rubbed me the wrong way. That one dude was like "maybe if I wink at her she'll let me off". Hilarious.

Did anyone see the white 95 GT convertable that was split in half from a wreck? They showed a couple of pictures of it. Ouch.

Coupe Devil · 08-09-2002, 09:31 AM

Im glad the show came on and protrayed street racing the way it did... Think about this folks.. The entire show was import this, import that, visor's turned around backwards and upside down, saggin pants " Yo dog " BULLSHEOT. Now, we all know that we dont like to see this. However, as the comment was made earlier the cops ( the ones that seen this show ) are going to start cracking down on these " Modified Cars " Now, we also know that a true Stanger will mod his or her car for performance first and looks later.. So while these cops are busting these rice mobiles with body kits, huge wings and huge wheels and a lowered non-performance oriented stance, we will be driving by in our CLOSE (maybe wheels and a cowl hood) to stock appearing Mustangs. I for one am glad that the majority of the show wasnt about Domestic power.

When a television show comes on about Performance Domestic Cars, its is almost all of the time a Documentary. With highlights from manufacturers, owners etc. and a focus on an over all performance of the vehicle, whether it be a classic Boss 302 or a new Camaro.

The typical " Ricer " image was futher ground into the eyes of every Police officer in America last night that watched the show. Now when a police officer sees a Mustang, Camaro, or the like of a performance car on the street, next to a riced out Civic, Integra or the like, Which do you HONESTLY think he would be more apt to pull over. Take into consideration that the night before he had watched the Rice show on MTV and then switched over to the Discovery Channel and seen a Documentary on the history of performance cars in America. Seeing, stupid KIDS all acting like hoodlums, or watching Performance car owners talking about the breed, and the love of the. .I know which I would pull over..Sorry for the long rant. Just needed to clear some things up

302 LX Eric · 08-09-2002, 09:36 AM

I sat on the couch, drank a few beers and just shook my head during most of it.

Oh, where do I start...

Near the beginning, I don't know if anyone else picked up on this, but the guy with the Japanese VTEC whatever right-sided driver setup deal-E-O stated that he has about $60,000 in the car. I about fell off the couch and spilled my beer. Don't worry, I didn't spill the beer.

$60,000 for a 220 HP 4-banger...........ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! The F-ing thing wouldn't even start, then on top of that he blew up the ultra-high tech Japanese motor. Absolutely some of the best entertainment I've seen on TV in a while.

There was another snipet where I think it was the guy with the 4-door Integra was talking about how he crosses the finish line "at like 110 mph." All I was thinking is that they must have been racing the 1 mile, instead of the quarter mile.

The other thing that really struck me as funny was the 'Transmission Graveyard." I've never seen so many busted tranny's - and I thought the T5's were weak...

All in all it was some good entertainment. The banter amongest the racers was probably the best part.

Oh, and Will never got his $500, maybe that was the best part.

Did all of you miss the show B-4 True Life? It was called flipped, and I feel it was very well done.
