o forsure...they will get the paris treatment i guaruntee it. like yea doing the whole "crush your car" tries to put scare into someone but its very elementry if u ask me. instead of tryin to fing the best solution there just gonna be bullies. i say take the cars sell them off save the money for the families that have been affected by street racing...or make a fund to start up a special street racing unit to sting all these people.

its just scare tactics.. you actually think they can crush your car on a basic onus? no! how many lawyers can rip that apart?

for them to crush a car because of a tip from someone else? what if the tipper is lying? can that be proven or disproven? its "hearsay" pure and simple.

the human rights charter needs to be changed for them to simply be able to scoop up modded cars and crush em at will.. and if its fast cars they're after..then all the rich folks owning porsches, ferrari's etc.. will have equally high paid lawyers ready to screw this law up to pieces..

if you are legally modified and your mods are registered...and you're not driving recklessely, you're fine.

I just want to see what happens because this comes right after they made that statement in the paper. Kind of a "put up or shut up" scenario.

I will be watching to see for sure what happens. If the government isn't taxing it, they want to abolish it.

every summer its always more scare tactics

as i recall in that accident, was it not a stock mustang i saw if my eyes did not deceive me. This article is really stupid. Before the car hits the streets. Are you freaking kidding me. This Bryant seems to need 1 good kick in the *** for those comments. Between PACER---ERASER---and all the money they spent trying to stop this, All they needed to do was pave 2 1/2 mile roads and a parking lot in the GTA if they wanted to stop the illegal street racing on the back streets. Have it opened at night for a reasonble costs. Thats it!!

We can't help the racing on the highwyas with people, but this plan sure would reduce the amount of drag racing happening on the back streets at night.

it stupid how they dont wait a second too crush a nice civic with a shiny blue paint job lowered on rims becuase everyone thinks since its modified its gotta be a "street racing machine" but two STOCK black corevettes with probally rich owners that will buy there way outta it anyways...no way they wont crush them not a chance people would wonder why there crushing such a nice sports car because no one can race with them there "STOCK"


anything with a honda emblem will be crushed...why...? because the police seem too think a honda emblem adds 300+ horsepower

thats not exactly true....u can build as many race tracks as you want it still wont fix the problem...only help a bit. just like BC having clinics for people to "shoot up" but u still see people on the streets doin it . one simple track isn't gonna stop **** as i look at it. people find it easier to just race the streets and not bother fillin in paper work. im pretty sure some wud still do it as a rush.

For the ones that race constantly and its all organized on the streets, they live for that stuff, that "high" it gives them to be goin against the law and doing somethin highly dangerous

Firstly, we do not have the right to bear arms in this Country...so walking around with a gun is ILLEGAL.

I really think Mr. Bryant needs a lesson in The Charter of Rights and Freedoms . Pay particular attention to sections 7 - 14. These are our rights as Canadians.

Oh and Mr. Bryants comments against shops....hmmmm...check out sections 298 - 301 of the Criminal Code of Canada.

Finally! A good article!

"My conclusion was that the only real and lasting solution for the scourge of street racing is to make it as socially unacceptable as drunk driving and seatbelt ignorance. Politicians and the media can play a large role in this by publicizing the horrible effects of its consequences. As well, responsible media should refuse to carry advertising that condones irresponsible behaviour."

I've been saying this all along. I even sent emails to ERASER about doing a segment for high schools over a year and a half ago, and offered to fund the project. I received no response.

Crush the ****ing vets

KAMUFI

can't agree with that bro. Ask yourself the question how many race tracks in the GTA are open at night.......NONE

How many are in the GTA..........NONE

How many are affordable..........NONE

How many want to risk there cars breaking down at the local drag strips?....................................Not Many.

Of course its easier to race on the streets. Who want to drive over an hour to a race track. and if it breaks down...the tow bill..not everyone has CAA and not everyone can afford a truck and trailer. Filling out paper work ain't nothing. Most people i know that use to street race loved the racing and not the high of the illegal aspect behind it. You think they want to get in there cars and run from cops when a good street racing session is going on. No one i know wants cops to show up. Who the hell does.

Fact is based of many people i know in the culture.

You have a track open at night for a reasonable cost (and i mean reasonable). People will show up. people will race and people will go home. They ain't gonna get hit with a huge tow bill if they break down.

If they built a track in the GTA and people street raced on the wau home, its fair game on the streets.

imported_Zyepher

If you put a track in every city people would still run at industrial spots. Especially the usual spots that will never die down.

civicnation

why would the cars be breaking down? is it because most of them are ****box ricer cars anyways?

Tego

KAMUFI

Im just telling you the mind set of people i know. The reason they don't bring there cars to Cayuga and other tracks is because they don't want to risk breaking down so far from home. and its not because the ****box rice cars. Any car is liable to break down in racing conditions. Who's stopping the other guy your racing on the track from swerving in front of you. You have to swerve to avoid and may hit the wall. There's your broken car....there's that huge tow bill.

A great read.

This line is quite important:

Sad part is, not many people have it. That article has many similar points as my previous post.

imported_MrBlondie69

did u read the vettes were also modded TIRES! WTF are people stupid? how can u say tires are a modifacation? and wow big deal exhaust . they should learn before sayin anything. I would understand if NOS, turbo or supers were added to the motors but they were BONE STOCK!

Nova_Dust

Bone stock would mean a completely, unmodifed vehicle using the exact specification from factory. Upgraded tires compound would consider as a modification. But it is not so much a critical issue as nitrous oxide or other power enhancement.

If anything, tires are very important part of the vehicle's performance and safety.
