Talk about what you like about the scene?

* Booty Shaking Bikini Contest, Import Models, Car Shows, Track Races, Drag Races, Street Race, Just chillin with my friends, Wicked Cars... etc

wassup
i love the cali azn scene, its freakin fun, i love to go out at midnights on friday nights and find racers, fine ass asian sluts chilling with their slow ass bf's, and check out their cars, and girls, i love to race and then run from the cops when they come, but then, its not fun if they catch us, its ironic actually, so yeah , thats what i like about it ....U?

i think the cali azn scene is weak also because we are tryin to race with hondas and stuff and think we are really fast, when white people are the fastest, even though i dislike them, we cant compete with nascars and indy cars, i think we should give up and, fawk it, no more racing for me, i suck at it

What ever you do the 'scene' isn't going to die. It's actually just starting, so we're in a pretty neat time right now... more cars are coming, hotter, faster, better... more nicer mods and upgrades.

And thats the best part, we tweak our imports to kick the domestics v6 & v8's butt... of course it just cost tons of money... :mad: and people wonder why put $10-$20K on a civic if you can get a better car for that much? Well, its a hobby, it's a love of your life, it's a lifestyle... we put our hearts and soul into this scene and into our cars so it's not the same... it's just better.

Gotta love that living!

Ciao

About every damn thing you listed there man.

I don't like the people who talk shit about there cars on the street but never actually race..

oh and the ugly skanks that sometimes hang around cars..

Hmmm, i live in Newfoundland Canada, so we haven't got much in teh way of a "Scene"(this is one of the most imbred places north of carolina. i think the immigrant population is something like 5%, 10% at most. So it's mostly just hicks in cavaliers, neons and new mustangs who think if something's japanese it has a 1.0 litre, 80Hp Gas/Electric engine and can't beat anyhting...oh god i hate the prius.)

As for what do i like adn not like? well i love imports, and i hate drag racing(hence the signature), if you can even call it racing. There is no skill required to hold the wheel straight and press the gas, yes shifting can take a little while to prefect, but thats it.

O_o
No skill huh. Ok, whatever you say.

Yup, no skill. If both people dragging have equal shifting skills then there is nothing that determines who will win besides who's car is faster. When you get to the points of using NOS it's gets much more intense, but it's still essentially the same thing. Using NOS doesn't so much require anymore skill(besides knowing when to use it) it jsut takes more balls.

While that may be your opinion, it is an innacurate assumption. I would like to see you do some Top Fuel Drag racing or not even, try some pro stock. It is more challenging than just straight driving and getting the timing just right.:rolleyes:

yes, drag racing may not require more skill than a road race, but it can be challenging to perfect launches and, like you said before, shifting. Have you ever tried to launch a 400+ hp car? its not just a matter of smashing the pedal to the floor. You are right about the point that usually, whoever has the faster car wins. This is the purpose of drag racing, though, to see who has the faster car, not who is the better driver...

Hakka, i'll admit, you have some good points. Touche :)
But DVS, i'm sorry, i don't consider Drag cars cars. Yes they have engines, yes they have wheels, but they aren't cars. Sure they can go fast as hell, but anything that has only something like 10 degrees worth of turning freedom then it's not a car.

I'll repost what you said again:

Now here you are talking about skill and racing. Not if it's a car or not. You said that you don't call drag racing, racing. I said to you that I beg to differ unless you can claim that you've done it and succeeded in it. Plus that you have experience. What you talk about that WRC is the only real racing in your sig, that would just be another type of racing and an opinion that you alone have. Therefore, to say one thing is racing and the other is not, is not a fact. So I am just correcting one thing that you said.

I like WRC, however, nothing like that ever get's shown around where I live. So while yes I watch drag racing, I do some drag racing, I consider any form of automotive competition, "Racing". That is what I was talking about.

;)

True, I must admit, your a much more civilized and intelligent person then most of teh people i've talked to on the net. Also one of the reasons i don't like drag racing is that it doesn't last long enough, it's fun until you start to get near a corner, but then it just seems like a such a waste to slow down instead of taking the turn at the highest speed possible ;)

i like the drag racing. I dont have much of a car to do it in except to embarass the average ricer, but thats not hard to do around here.

All of it is great. It does have it's up's and down's though. But primarily it is great.:bandit:

Yea all that stuff is great, but here is what I really like about it: meeting new people that have the same passion and love for imports that I do.

True...And it's not just imports, all cars!

The love for automobiles is a very addictive drug! It turns into a love, and then you have a passion for all cars!

this is for the guy that thinks that drag racing isnt racing. First of all drag racing for the most part is how good you can build engines, and how good you are at pulling out every last bit of hp possible. And if you dont think that dragracing is hard then something is wrong with u, first you cant make mistakes when you dragrace, you either get it right the first time or buy your way back into the second round, second you can make up for your mistakes within 10 sec like you can in rally racing or indy racing, its do or die! oh and i like the scene mainly because im the odd ball with my old domestic!

the leader of my fleet of vehicles (which consists of 4) is a muscle car which i won't brag about. but i have a transbrake, a bigblock with roughly 760 ft/lbs of torque, and it runs 10.60's on 10.5 inch tires in the 1320 ft sprint.
the suspension is stock, 35 year old technology, and the car hooks EVERY TIME. if it didn't, i wouldn't win races. it has good brakes, and probably could outstop most new cars if i had too...these are there because they are the rules, not because i have a passion for slowing down the fastest.
when i launch this car at 5000 rpm and both front tires lift about 5-6 inches off the ground, i am no longer just racing. i am literally fighting the car to stay in a straight line. i don't know whether it's skill or stupidity, but it is the most challenging form of racing i have ever done.
any idiot can take a new car and weave dangerously in and out of traffic...this is what go karts are for. when you can spend a few hours extracting the most power out of your car, take it to the local race hangout and show everyone else who their daddy is, then you get the bragging rights. no one cares if you can do the u-turn at the end faster than i can...i beat you to it, and that's all that matters

But you have to admit that Rally racing is harder than drag racing.

I like the import scene here in Houston and its HUGE, a lot of "ricers" but I still like it, I drive up and down Westhiemer (A popular strip in houston) just to ride with some of the nicest cars around, it's weird but I see cars differently than before, I'm black but I love the so-called "asian scene", I am friends with a car show model so I go to a lot of import car shows and its a lot of fun.

well, the only rally racing i have ever done is in a field in my dart vs my buddy in his nova
it's generally easy, you just have to know what to expect.
but i believe that rally racing is also the most fun you can have in a vehicle, and maybe what makes it fun is it's difficulty
have you ever rally raced? in a competition or something? i wish i knew where to go to get into it, but it seems like not much of it happens in canada
