for one, trust me the police know where the streets are. there is no such thing as a secret street. Another thing eugene is not a ricer, he actually owns a speed shop. PROSTREET. He builds fast **** and owns some fast cars. Also the real races do not have a bunch of ricers with big wings. The hondas that race now are all atleast bottom 12 second cars.
hondas running low 12's hahaha
right......? those are the rare ones. never seen one on the streets yet. 
but funny thing of this race besides them being slow and annoying is a cop pulls out infront of them and pulls over the guy on the left

eh, hondas, are good cars, but for economy, and reliability... thats it. i would never buy a honda hoping for it to be fast at that time or anytime after. i never saw the point of spending the money on a "fast" car but it didn't make any power till 5/6k rpm. i almost got an 04 V6 6spd Accord coupe a couple months ago, granted it was quick, i just wasnt expecting anything spectacular like f body quickness. and thats how i see it when it comes to hondas (or most imports) racing, its just nothing spectacular to me. but then again, its all about preference in cars.
im a GM muscle car kinda girl, and i dont plan on changing anytime in my life.

I still dont see how they would be running 12's that easily. I mean if an s2000 has 240hp and weighs 2,800 and will run low 14's then thay would have to pull a ton of weight out of the civics to make it run 12's and they would also have the fwd disadvantage to deal with. Can those cars get less then 2000lbs?

I know a guy who has a 8 second street driven fox body that I have seen race on the street, I have still seen fast hondas and crap. Just because they aren't going 9's in close to street trim doesn't mean they are not fast. Think about it this way, we start with a mid 13 second car and take 3-4 seconds off that and you have a fast ******* car, especially if you can get it to hook on the street. Now take the honda that stock runs 15 seconds and take 3 to even sometimes 5 seconds off that and I would say that makes a pretty fast honda. Yes a fully built camaro will almost always beat a full built honda, but the fact that the hondas can still get down to 11 or sometimes 10 second street passes with shitty FWD set up and less displacement than a bottle of soda is pretty impressive.

You have a good point ryan, But let's just say you have a golf cart that runs 25 sec 1/4 mile and you beef it up and do weight reduction (chop off the top) and it runs 19's. Would you consider that fast? It would be fast for a golf cart but its not "fast". What im trying to say is if you want to call something "fast" it should accually be "fast" and not "honda/golf cart fast".

Don't get me wrong I will race people I know on the street, But I would not go to meets to setup something with someone that I don't know what they are about.

Street racing is not only dangerous because of crashes, but like the people on the video said "people don't like to loose" My friend that has a 11 sec fox once beat a "Fast" honda. The guy didn't like the fact that his "fast" honda lost, He pulled a gun on my friend and stole all his money and watch when my friend was trying to collect his money.
