Question for ppl who dont race or go to the track

[Mangudai]

What makes you hook your car up performance wish? I know there has to be atleast a few people on here with tuned cars who dont really race or go to the track.

never really raced a day in my life

but honestly the only reason i never went to the track with my accord is because the closest one is 2.5 hours away..and if something were to break, its a long, expensive tow home

never been to the track, and i dont really race, besides messing with people every once in a while on the highway. never ever spin my tires.

i do it because i like the car, and i hate going slow. i like being able to get going from a stop, instead of taking forever to accelerate. i also work on the car to tweak it to work how i want... thats why im content with just an h22 swap, without anything else serious done performance-wise... i spend a lot of time on getting the interior looking and working just how i want it.

i adore everything related to technology, mechanics, electronics, computers... cars are a mesh between all of my favorite tech aspects, so its a great canvas to play with and work on. its my car, my daily driver, and hopefully when im done im going to be happy with everything about it.

I was going to say Seekonk is right near your town but its an oval track but small as hell.

Better yet the second closest 'track', that long highway down to Horseneck lol.

a hobby IMO, although i use to frequent the track in my earlier days but not as important to do so anymore. having custom bodywork done, the performance aspect was done to compliment the overall look of the car as well.

off-topic, what track did u go to? I know you're in Queens like I am, just wondering. I'd be too ashamed to go with my stock car lol.

I know he used to race at Atco, down by me...

I've raced at Atco once, and Englishtown once. I plan on going back.

I DO race a few people on the street, but nothing arranged... just when I happen to line up against something good at a light, or on a clear stretch of highway...



I do it for the feeling. When you punch the gas and the car just goes, it puts a smile on my face. When the tach buries itself deep into the red, it's a lot of fun. Just knowing that I have something a bit better than people expect is a good feeling... and I'm too lazy to maintain a show car!

To know it's there if you need it...
