This is double for the upcoming sequal for Fast and the Furious.
I KNOW it's simply a movie, but this Movie is creating an incorrect image for Street Racing.
I Know. I'm a Street Racer, and my friends are street racers.
Not that I expect them to change anything, I'm just posting to let the uneducated know that these movies are not accurate on what Street Racing is like, and to see if anyone agrees or disagrees.
1) The cars.
The cars they use are TOO good. Most Street Racing cars are suped up normal cars, like Honda Civics and Accords, Nissans etc. If anybody pulled up to a race with cars like that, nobody would race them. They're TOO good.
2) The money.
Pink Slips, nah. Nobody does that. Racers love their cars to much to ever wager them on a race. Most races wager on about $50 - $500.
3) The People.
Call me racist if you want, but this is still the truth. Black People don't race. The whole time we've been racing, we have never seen a black person seriously race, and this is in Baltimore City. Down here, it's mostly white guys (who the majority of are racist ANYWAY, but that isn't the point.). Asians do it, they started it (and many of them get pissed off that white people do it.). In Japan, street racing is crazy...in a good way ^_^.
4) Crowds and Cops.
The crowds never get that big, (in Japan, they get close sometimes though, but never in the middle of a city.). Cops in most parts will usually break Street Races up if they see it, but around here, they let us go as long as we don't endanger people.

Yeah, I'll say it again, it's jut a movie, but being a SR this sh*t beefs me a bit, and I gotta say it.
I think the only realistic thing was the Asian guys driving by with Uzi's. lmao that was classic.
