Law enforcement is not screwing around.

350-horsepower engine
Hoang said he was caught late last year racing his prized car, on which he spent at least $10,000 to get into top shape. The 350-horsepower engine topped out at 160 mph, Hoang said, swearing it could beat a Corvette or even a Ferrari.

No, ass clown, a Corvette would fucking destroy your shit box.

They really need to get their fucking priorities right.

Authorities destroyed six vehicles Wednesday at an auto graveyard, hoping would-be racers think again after looking at the mashed machines. Illegal street racing is responsible for or suspected in 13 deaths in Southern California since March.

They need to do this shit for Drunk Fucking Drivers.

Great more mod crackdowns in Cali... just what I fucking needed...

a WELLTUNED 350hp sx200, Lancer, Impreza, rx7 or other small car would outrun a Corvette any day.

We have a old Opel Ascona with a 4 cyl 318hp engine, last week here in sweden we outran a MB AMG SL55, several Corvette C6, two Ferrari 360. But we did get beaten by other cars. The Ferrari 430 and the koenigsegg + most the skylines and supra's kicked our ass

Weight and power delivery is more important than pure gruntforce

[beemk]

looks to me like they might have crushed them because they had hot parts on them. either way why not sell the cars and make $ off them instead of crushing them?

a vette would sadly even own a ferrari

i do appreciate a clean, well-tuned import..but i'm soooo sick of people that have a beat up civic or integra with an exhaust on it, and think they are hot shit. the sound that these cars make is so awful!!

You are aware that ferrari is a brand and not a specific model?

or when they just namedrop when you ask when they have done to their car, showing no clue what so ever what its all about.

[Why]

i thought posession was 9 10th's of the law and if you can prove you paid for it, its legal? i know that sounds naive, but a friend got caught with a stolen bike, he showed he paid for it and was allowed to keep it.

i wholeheartedly agree that they should do this to the cars of drunk drivers though.

[Why]

the worst is when they soup it up and then dont put good tires on it, roll the car around a corner and kill one of your friends inside.

if you cant grab the road properly, the rest is all worthless.

thing i hate about tuner cars, especially japanese for the most part, no matter how much you crank out of them, they always feel flimsy and weak against the road at speed.

not saying they won't go fast, i just never feel as comfortable when compared to cruisin around in a car built to go fast from the beginning.

[Rochard]

In the US, when found guilty of a crime, we are jailed or fined - or both.

Paris Hilton gets two DUIs, then gets caught driving without a license, and they didn't crush her car.

Does this mean if they catch me smoking pot in my house.... that they'll burn my house to the ground?

it all depends on how you build it. put a good suspension in it, and a few other odds and ends to increse rigidity and it can feel quite nice.

or you could just skip the honda and go straight to an Evo or STi and not have to worry about adding stiffness. ;)

that is an incredibly poignant analogy.

That's pretty stupid, they should seize the car, take it apart and auction off the parts, at least they would make a few bucks that way...

Perhaps, but street racers kill quite a few people too.

Bring back the Terminal Island drag strip.

The same reason they dump guns off the barge instead of reselling them. They want them off the streets.

[dig420]

I can't stand those damn street racers.. like any adult wants to deal with a bunch of dumbass kids working out their hormonal issues by fantasizing about Mario Andretti on the PCH.

Highways are for getting from point A to point B alive and well, and back again. You have no right putting the welfare of everyone else on the road at risk just because you happen to be a moron who watched 'Fast and Furious' too many times and you're too young to tell the difference between fantasy and reality.

[pr0]

thats right...get these kids out of the car hobby & back where they belong, selling dope! good job california!

so, they have to be allowed to break one law or another?

[starpimps]

i wonder how much the insurance covers for that

He is a boardspammer. Hos AFF brokercode gave him away. We have 27 flags up for that code as a spammer across blogs and forums

[JD]

street racing is dumb but c'mon. crushing the car? that's horse shit. Why not do that shit to drunk drivers? There's LOTS more of them then there are of street racers.

and baddog, modding a car isnt' a crime.

[RobertD]

Be safe, and take your rides to the track. Timeslips seperate you from the wannabes.

I won't say ate up, but I had an S10 tuned that could hold its own with untuned vettes...

I never was into street racing, but love modding my cars, love showing them off and doing shows, and loooooove taking runs on track nights with the local clubs...

Having to deal with more and more tickets because you've modded sux

Violating the vehicle code isn't a crime? Since when?

Wait, SPeRMiNaToR said modding a car isn't a crime. How can they give you a ticket for doing nothing wrong?

[Drake]

Crushing the cars is a waste. Auction off the parts. But coming down hard on street racers is a good thing. Racers kill people. Doing 160mph on 50 mph speed limit roads is stupid. If they really want to race there has to be a better way to do it, like renting out a venue. Yeah, it costs money but these are the type of guys that spend their life savings customizing their rides anyway.

If they can afford $10k in mods, they can afford Ontario.

And ALSO for stupid kids in overpowered cars thinking the streets are for racing.

A modified shit box is just a modified shit box. Throw an ATI self contained super charger or a twin turbo set up on a Z06, and that's the end of the shit boxes.

no matter how 'well-tuned' those cars are - they're still driving a piece of shit

And? Its still a stupid plastic ricer for 18 year old kids. No matter how fast it goes.

personally, I think vettes are shit boxes since I like luxury cars. So a turbo on a vette (especially Z06) would make it a very, VERY fast shit box

You can't just slap on 2 turbos on a vette engine and call it a day.

and the same people that claim that, call a STI or EVO a chitbox...

There's aftermarket twin turbo kits for vettes and then you tune it. Yay.

The ATI kits you can pretty much slap on.

Supras don't count int he shit box class, because at least they're real sportscars as opposed to grocery getters suped up.

Uh which ones? Unless they have low boost it's gonna be pretty easy to blow a stock block... unless it was a newer vette since those engines are more reinforced.

A C6 Z06 has a pretty solid engine setup.

so you're the authority on what is, and is not a shit box then?

i will remember to consult with you before buyign another car.
