Today I was cruising along, and this riced out corolla comes flyin past me. So I catch up to him, till we stop at a red light. I look over, change the CD from Slipknot to Tool: Symphony Tribute, and cranked up the bass. It's kinda soothing when you make a kill listening to violin rock.

What do you listen to when you step up to the line?

i turn the music off whenever i race.

Usually punk or some form of techno/trance, maybe some alt rock. Sometimes I turn off the radio and listen to the car too.

Nothing but the engine, great to hear a V8 rev up.

heres songs I listen to when Im out of the gas.
Ride the Lightning
That drowning pool song from the punisher
I stand alone.
That song from the navy commercials.

don't have a radio... so I listen to the turbo.

I mainly listen to classic rock but there are a few new songs I like to hear. One of the best songs to race to though is Radar Love. A couple of others to drive to are ZZ Top, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Styx, AC/DC, and many, many more.

I wish I could say Guns N Roses' Welcome to the Jungle but that song has been played to death over the years that it has lost its affect.

-The Stig-
03-07-2005, 08:43 PM
G'n'R will never lose it's affect.

Don't forget Metallica's library of music...

"Another one bites the dust" by Queen :D
j/k...I turn off the radio...I need full concentration.

Linkin Park mostly but I pop in some papa roach,limp bizkit anything that sounds angry. Although I enjoy the sound of a roaring engine sometimes too.

99% of the time I just listen to my engine roar. but tonight I played brand new..and AFI at a pretty low volume. You know..just in the background. I never blair music. Haha..what a waste of 460 watts.

I don't listen to music when I race. With the test pipe, and no cats the 944 just sounds beautiful, and the dual exhaust on the sc300 sounds really nice.

ricesucks
03-07-2005, 09:07 PM
I like to blast ghetto rap sometimes to throw people off...DMX...luda...Haha...I litsen to metal a lot...Not crap like slipknot or anything( I like there music, I hate there lyrics), Like older metal, and newer metal/hard rock...

HighRev87
03-07-2005, 09:11 PM
When racing...stricly engine, when cruising I listen to my rap w/ my subs pounding (gotta take these bad boys out for summer fun though :) )

CivRacer95
03-07-2005, 09:13 PM
Pfffttt. I listen to Clay Aiken, that way when I beat someone, they're like "Shit, I lost to a fag." Or if I lose they say "Ah he's just a fag." Either way, I'm a fag.

J/P, Fuel by Metallica is one of the top songs I listen to when drive. Plus some Korn. Like Got the Life, also there's some Lost Prophets, and a bit of Rap. L8...

Whoa dude. No tribal indian music? Pfft. Poseur.

For racing its always good to hear some Cake- He's Going the Distance.

For cruising anything else.

CassiesMan
03-07-2005, 09:59 PM
papa roach

Gettin Away With Murder is pretty good for racing.

03-07-2005, 10:00 PM
If I'm ever in a race I keep the music off. Nothing sounds better then two engines revvin high going for the kill.

03-07-2005, 11:34 PM
Whoa dude. No tribal indian music? Pfft. Poseur.

Who needs Tribal Indian music. Just pop in some Enya and you will get the same effect. Lol.

But to go with what Ricesucks said, music to throw people off.... System of a Down/Woo Tang Clans' "Shame On a Nigga" or ICP/Three Six Mafia "Twisted". Good stuff when my albino ass is the only one in the car.

03-08-2005, 12:08 AM
Just the sound of a 350 revving up to 7K...shift...7K....shift...maybe a little chirp once in a while...aaaahhh....ecstacy

Woo Tang Clans' "Shame On a Nigga" .

Hell Yeah Big :1: Any WU-Tang clan or methodman cd is great. I listen to a lot of Bone Thugs, and Brotha Lynch as well. I used to listen to strictly rock, but I kinda got sick of it. If I'm in a calm state of mind I might play anyone of the Prodigy CD's or Crystal MEthod. Almost never play when I'm actually racing though, its all engine.

03-08-2005, 08:57 AM
Same here, no music when I'm racing, and rarely even when I'm just cruising. The blower and catless true duals just sounds too good!!! :iceslolan

PearlGT
03-08-2005, 09:06 AM
usually rap or beastie boys to let those subs in the trunk get some time. Sometimes its middle rock, not too heavy and not too light. eve6's open road song is pretty cool sometimes. Other than that it can range anywhere from techno to rock to rap to bass tracks. I try to keep my spectrum pretty broad.

Mr. Luos
03-08-2005, 09:13 AM
Latest CD I made...

Breaking Benjamin - So Cold, Blow Me Away
Soil - Halo, Breaking Me Down
Static X - The Only, Kill Your Idols, All In Wait, Otsegolectric
Godsmack - Touche
Killswitch Engage - Breathe Life, The End Of Heartache
Damageplan - Pride, Save Me
Slipknot - Duality, Vermillion, Vermillion Part 2, Before I Forget
Snot - My Balls
Machine Head - From This Day

Man, I remembered all the tracks. :icon16:

i listed to death fucken metal but when i race i shut everything off and concentrate.
flogging molly is fun to listen to at high speeds though :naughty:

Polygon
03-08-2005, 04:14 PM
I'll either listen to whatever is playing or shut off the stereo and listen to the engine.

I don't have any special racing songs.

kfoote
03-08-2005, 04:23 PM
don't have a radio... so I listen to the turbo.

I have 4 cars and no car stereos, so I'm with you on this one, at least if I'm driving the car that has a turbo.

Most of the time just the car..... but if i do use music while im racing its Korn ( got the life)

street_racer_00
03-08-2005, 05:23 PM
Ahhh that's a good one too...Not a big fan of Korn, but like that song.

CassiesMan
03-08-2005, 05:41 PM
I got five discs of 'racing music' that I listen to when Im driving or trying to race or whatever.

93rollaracer
03-08-2005, 05:44 PM
Slayer or Metallica

Slayer's Payback seems to be a pretty fun one to race too...especially if you lose. Look at the lyrics and you'll know why.

"i cant drive 55"
haha not really but not a bad idea....

i dont have a system any more...some of you might remember the thread where everything was stolen. Anyways, listening to a 350 with an rv cam and flowmaster 40's is pretty damn good too.

CamaroSSBoy346
03-08-2005, 08:50 PM
I dunno of anyone heard that new Prodigy song (DAMN, still havent found the title to it), but the beat sounds like a BOV going off...lol

But yea, I have selective hearing, at WOT, I'll pay zero attention to the music, but I'll listen to what ever is on. I have 3 classic rock stations, 2 new rock stations, and 1 country station set on my radio.

nissanfanatic
03-08-2005, 10:09 PM
Any Tool. Tool is perfect music. But Deftones, A Perfect Circle, Prodigy, Korn, all that stuff. But for the last 1.5 years, its been a Tool, Deftones, and APC diet.

dampachi
03-08-2005, 10:14 PM
Yes, Tool and Deftones = great. I don't care for APC though..and they especially piss me off since I want a new Tool album and not all these stupid APC ones.

Mr. Luos
03-08-2005, 10:28 PM

Supposed to be this year. Summer if I remember reading that right.
Tool has been in the studio since at least December. That I do know.

i cant wait to get the vr4 rollin

btdod off his gt
btdod off his gt
btdod off his gt
260hp cant beat me :p



:lol: :lol: :lol:








i'm completly bieng and ass, only reason i picked on you is cause you had the last post, i'm just being stupid and board man :grinno: :icon16:

speedthrill
03-09-2005, 06:32 AM
It depends. When it's a car that i never raced against before i turn of the radio to hear his engine.

But mostly its on rock, sometimes old disco ( i love those funny beats under a great melodie).

Pretty funny actually when you line up against one of the many johnnys (read: "ricers"). Those commercial ridiciously house beat songs start comming out of their car i turn it al open on fe: 'Survivor' (the one from the movie rocky).
The looks on their face is awesome to see. And then all you need to do is beat him hard in the race and the piece was complete. :lol:

260hp wont beat you, eh? How about 390rwhp?

I was until I got pulled over by radar today going 83mph in a 45. it's a $275 ticket with 5 points. So I don't know what I'm doing now.

03-10-2005, 12:54 AM
What do you listen to when you step up to the line?

nothing dude, the more energy your car is using, the less power you have to the ground...
its more noticeable (at least in my car) if the heater or A/C is on
and its why some people turn off their lights when they race

dampachi
03-10-2005, 01:00 AM
A/C..yes. Headlights, no. A/Cs are belt driven off the crank..so they're parasitic. headlights are not.

street_racer_00
03-10-2005, 01:45 AM
in that case, neither is the heater.

-The Stig-
03-10-2005, 02:58 AM
Lights and Heater/fans are all run off electricity... and when you race, the motor spins that Alternator like a SOB thus you make plenty of juice, so it's not gonna drain you of 'power'.

If anything, running the heater while you race is a good thing, helps extrapulate excess heat from the motor to help it cooler under 'race' conditions. That's why they say to run the heater if your car has cooling problems... or in hot weather conditions like driving through a desert.

APC is pretty good if you ask me. Mer de Noms was much better than thirteenth step, but they are all really good. APC doesn't have the drum on lockdown like Danny Carey though. And Tool has something that APC doesn't.... Complexity.

Any of you guys into the older stuff like Rush? Once again, Rush has an awesome drummer too. Neal Pert(sp*).

CassiesMan
03-10-2005, 03:42 PM
I'm not a huge fan of the 13th Step Album, although it does have my fav APC song-The Outsider.

GhostRyder Concept
03-10-2005, 04:52 PM
Sorry to be such a THUG but Anything from 3-6 Mafia gets me all pumped up to race but then the Fuckin Honda next to me with the damn Fart Can drowns out my music.

dontpurgethelines
03-10-2005, 06:14 PM
I ripped out the radio and now the only sounds I hear are the ones from my exhaust.

BullDog71ss
03-10-2005, 06:23 PM
Rush kicks ass.

03-10-2005, 06:34 PM
Why rip out the radio? Just turn it off.:rolleyes:
