Lord Of The Bling...

anyone see the mtv show last night, about LA street racing?

all the cars were jap, mostly Hondas....

in the fast and furious films, again theres a lot of jap cars......kinda strange dont you think, when the USA is the home of muscle cars, big V8 engines, mustangs chevy`s etc


how come?


lets have a debate!

The street racing scene started with young boys drag racing their cars which were usually 'hand-me-downs' from the parents, like civics or starlets.

A bit like corsas and fiestas in the UK with bodykits and neons, except over there they actually make mods which count...

Its a bit like Grand Turismo...
Also a mentality of instead of a new car or bigger engine, just put more NOS in with a biger turbo - if its just a 1.4, it will now be a 1.4 turbo...

The article on the DVD explains the scene quite well i thought...

IIRC the import race scene is seperate from the Muscle car race scene. I also seem to remember that they dont mix too often either.

Ive got some sweet muscle car street racing vids on my PC. Some dude with a 900bhp Camaro twin turbo just wasting all the kids in their RICE mobiles all whilst listening to Limp Bizkits Rollin'.
