Which city has the best street racing scene?

Which city has the best street racing scene? By good street racing I mean there are a lot of people with a wide array of fast cars, and a lot of people willing to race. It's definitely not my city, around here very few people have modified cars, and the closest thing you can get to a racer is a soccer mom with road rage (those are always fun to race, one 30-something mom in a SUV recently gave me the finger after losing the stoplight challenge to me).

Re: Which city has the best street racing scene?

Down here in miami we have alot of ricers and probably for every 9 ricers we get 2 good drivers. It's fun and everything but alot of my races happen going to the Ft. lauderdale area. I heard orlando has drivers too.

Re: Which city has the best street racing scene?

At the local track in Orlando theres a huge sign that says "you think your fast untill you come to Orlando."

I dont know if we got fast cars that qualify us as a good street racing city, actually the tunners around here suck ass so it makes fast cars hard to come by. BUT we do have an over abundance of people willing to race at any time. You cannot turn a corner in Miami and not see a street race. I hop on the highway and in the 11 miles it takes me to get home I get into at least 3 dogfights.

Ricers are still better than nothing, around here we don't even have ricers.

Re: Which city has the best street racing scene?

we don't have anything in nyc, you have to go to certain spots in long island to see some races. and in new jersey things are pretty serious there.

Re: Which city has the best street racing scene?

I've heard Houston has a big racing scene, doesn't really suprise me though, since it is one of the biggest cities in the nation. Couple of 500+ whp civic hatches, vettes, vipers, porsches, supras, cobras, modded LS1's, R1's, Busa's, and my favorite, a R34 V Spec GT-R. Of course there is also the non racecars for us normal people to race, nearly stock STI's and Evo's,lightly modded integras and Mustangs. There's usually something going down every night, fairly easy to find someone to race.



Edit : Look what I found on sale http://houston.craigslist.org/car/148953361.html

Re: Which city has the best street racing scene?

I usually drive to Atlanta (about a 45 minute drive, not too bad). A WHOLE lot of ricers. Some decently quick cars though. Then you have the bad boys. We have a spot near Six Flags down here that only the bad boys go to. Ohhhh myyy goodddd is it fun to watch them. Every car there is on a trailer.

Street racing used to be huge here in central IL, but due to much BS and drama and police interference no one does shit around here anymore..

Re: Which city has the best street racing scene?

In the midwest we have a lot of old muscle races which I don't care to get myself in seeing as how they people there have 10-13 second cars only. In fact, there are two guys here supposed to race but I've been hearing that for a while. One of them is a built up Cuda with enormous slicks on the back (in fact I saw him lift the front end of his car up outside the local Hy-Vee) and a bottle of NO2 in the back, the other is a custom hot rod with open headers coming out the side (he also has a large set of meats) and a parachute waiting to be deployed on the back (it has a custom paint job that says "black widow" on it). I've heard each run 9's. Otherwise there isn't a whole lot of racing around here, about average.

Re: Which city has the best street racing scene?



Where i live (Calgary) the street racing is pretty damn big for a city with a population of under 1million. Everyone meets up in an area just outside of the industrial park, then people pick roads and everyone just migrates there... But as i said, pretty big, loads of Skyline GTS's, a few GTR's, RX7's, Supra MkII, III and IVs, plenty of foxbodys with superchargers and juice, Chevelles, Camaros....you name it. Oh and of course, those damn DSM's
