It shouldn't be banned. It's more exciting to race on the street than on the track. It's not as dangerous as people think. Everyone thinks F&F is like a documntary on street racing they think it's actually like that. Ricers make street racing dangerous. They modify their cars improperly and drive like idiots.

F&F is a close documentary of street racing, yes. But not 100% accurate. As for the basic topic of this post, no street racing should not be banned. It is a sense of enjoyment that only poor a$$ ricers find offensive.

close documentary of streetracing? you're kidding, right? have you seen the movie and a street race? you've gotta be joking around, F&F was so far from the truth, parts of it are painful to watch. really painful. how many n/a pos eclipses do you know of running 10s? what about 300hp rx-7s doing the same? or mostly stock GSRs? a blown charger could run 9s, but the one in the film was a fake. how many people do you know that bet thousands of dollars or pink slips racing people they've never seen run before? it doesn't happen every night, and not everyone has a car with custom paint, graphics, etc. sorry to rant if you're kidding, but if you are serious, maybe you shouldn't post on this site anymore, you will just get flamed, especially for comments like that. nothing personal, but, seriously, you've joking, right?

oh yeah, street racing is banned. they take your car, charge you $1k+, and you can go to jail on top of that as well. name one place in the us where street racing is legal (not sanctioned and official like Silver State). if it exists, I'm going there this summer.

IMO, F&F was never a documentary. I read the article put out by one of the dudes who wrote the script, and it seemed like it started that way...until hollywood got a hold of it. Now that I think about it, it was on the F&F website when it first came out. F&F is bullshit, the movie started so much shit for the underground racing scene. Thanks to that movie, ricers were born in my eyes. Kids taking whatever car they can get their hands on, adding an APC exhaust, wing and altezzas...and then racing ANYONE they can until they get into accidents. The movie spawned a generation of import idiots.
But back to the question....no, i dont think street racing should be banned, but think about it...like a cop is going to roll up and be perfectly cool with you doing 100+ on the streets? It's still reckless driving in their book. I'm in favor of the "race-legal" events. Where it's similar to the streets, but it's supervised by CHP. I think that's the closest your going to get these days. I would much rather pay $10 to race all nite with my friends than get busted or deal with the guilt of possibily hitting an innocent car with a kid inside. I used to race and i still love it, it's part of our culture, but there are just sometimes when you have to just throw in the towel. As fun as it is, safety and keeping my car and license come first.

If by close you mean it involves people and cars then yes, it is close.

F&F has to be a documentary, i mean, we all know that supras jump off of bridges during races, and that evos drive backwards on the freeway, not to mention the doors that fly off the car at the push of a button with an ejector seat like its taht movie Top-Gun. The only thign i had to say during that scene was "I see Maverick, but wheres Goose?"
