Who thinks this could be true? Now my mom is more worried than ever when I play Need for speed. In real life, I'd probably be too much of a wimp to actually street race.

thats why they added warnings to every need for speed game since underground to drive safely, and keep the racing in the game or on a closed circuit.
and no, i will not street race. you mess with the law, and you risk your life.
Because you don't even f*cking THINK what the hell are you saying.
First of all, I'm ALWAYS concious of what can happen in a streetracer life.
Second, I'm not a guy like those stupid kids that believe that they have speedbraker and sh*t in "their cars".
Third, I DON'T WANT TO READ AGAIN THAT YOU WILL BE GLAD OF SEEING ME DYING. Damn stupid kid. Get a real life....you're 12 and you think you know enough in life?? you're just getting involved in school and you talk to me like I didnt know what to do???
I'm sick of guys like you
That's why this world is really f*cked up...
Xturbo.
we dont know each other irl and we never will so what is the matter? do i care if you die or not? don't take things so seriously dude, so why dont you get a life yourself? you act as though you are as experienced as me.

I'd probably only tune my car. The most I'd ever do is speed by accident Another thing is that many of you people are saying that there isn't a lot of street racing and it is mostly fiction? That is really untrue. In Toronto, Canada, there have beeen many incedents. Once a street racer hit this woman on a raised highway and her car "flew" off of the highway. Luckily she survived. They also do a lot of street racing near airport roads with secret signals and stuff. The most serious thing that ever happened in toronto was that 2 boys (14 and 16 years old) were street racing and they hit a taxi. The driver died one day before he would become a citizen. They found a copy of Need for Speed in there car.
Sorry for the long comment.

You mean this? It's probably true. I see riced up cars all over the place, but I would bet all the money I have (which isn't much, but you get my point ) that 90% of those cars have never 'raced'.steelsnake00 wrote:Crappest. Poll. EvAr. Street racer's are the stuff of fiction, largely. Theres a few around in every country, but most people who claim they street race are talking bollocks.

I think most people do drive over the speed limit once in a while (or constantly ) by it by accident or on purpose, but really street racing is a diffirent story.
Yeah they do it where I live also, I see them gather at the at the Mc Donalds in the north of the city, and I know they will go to the industrial area to race their Golfs and riced up civics,
But even then I think that like half of them only come there to watch other ricers race each other. I never went there myself so I don't know the exact numbers
Like Darren I sometimes do a little Trafficlight GP but that's it and only when it's quiet uptill a certain speed that's accepteble on that particular street, wich can be the speed limit or abit over it but never something like 100 where you are allowed to go 30 orso
I often get challenge by ricers/streetracers because I drive the average ricers second largest wet dream, a Honda Civic Type-R (largest wet dream is probably a skyline)
But for 99% of the time I ignore them and drive away normally (wich still is pretty quick cause I prefer to reach my cruising speed as soon as possible) or I drive away slower then I would normally to make sure to them I don't want to race them.
But once in a while when I see a poser in a car that I think will be to good not to smoke.
But like more people here say, the average streetracing here is not like in the NFS games, where they are racing in super tuned cars with 200 mph around the city.
But I think the general street race is a drag race against 2 cars on a quiet road.
That doesn't mean it's not at all dangerous, but it's a far cry from what you see in NFS.
