Hell, all you PV users better be looking over your shoulder! I wunder what constitutes a "performance mod" in their book. Bigger, more aggressive tire "perfom" better off road...if I am visiting Canada and creep over the posted speed limit will they crush my VX...Eh? At least in Ca you have to get stopped for racing or be found to have stollen parts on your vehicle.

This seams a little harsh. Especially when I can go and buy a Dodge Ram truck with factory 500+ horsepower.

All of the American motor companies sold street legal race cars for people to take to the drags on the weekend.

How about banning manufacturer from producing high performance / any performance cars. For example maybe V8 Mustang is excessive compared to the V6. Should they ban all V8 mustangs. Not to mention the factory supercharged V8's.


I put a Optima battery and a K&N air filter in my VX. Am I a street racer?

It's the cart before the horse!!

DRAG RACING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...that's the answer.

They shouuld support and promote drag racing. That's why drag racing came into being!!! A place to legally race!!

If all those young cats would just do that instead of being "rebels" they could enjoy racing every weekend. But noooooooooooo... they have to just break all the rules and do it at night in an unsafe manner, then wonder why why why did my car get taken away! Because you endanger too many others in your quest for speed!!!

I have no sympathy for them, but I don't condone confiscating cars and shutting down someones pursuit of a hobby either!!!!!!

Take it to the track!!

insert 2 cents. Now as was pointed out not long ago, I am of a age where street racing in this country was going out on a lonely straight piece of road and drag racing on a Friday or Saturday night until the cops came charging in. Our car were only good for that, going in a straight line. Now, the cars of today just like the sports bikes of today are, let face it, are outrageously fast. They handle, they brake and they go like hell. And I'm sorry, but the folks of today driving these things don't have much respect for others, its all about me. Where we were racing out on some lonely road and might kill ourselves, today they are doing it in the neighborhoods and not only killing themselves, they are killing innocent people that are doing nothing more then standing around in their neighborhoods. I don’t like what is happening in Canada, Italy or anywhere else where the law can take your property and destroy it. Like Dino and others have said, where will it end. Sorry if I stepped on any toes, just my 2 cents.

They catch you actively engaged in a street race, I don't care if they crush the car with you in it...as for the preemtive strike, I think some major constitutional changes will have to be made, before they are seizing cars based on potential usage, rather than actual usage.
