Moderators,
I've noticed that street racing has been banned on here for some time, but why haven’t speed-enhancing modifications been banned as well?
Speed-enhancing parts are strictly banned in most states and only OEM or OEM specs replacements are technically allowed on the street. The removal of catalytic converters that are spoken about on here theoretically should be banned as well, whether or not your area has emissions testing or not, all cars came from the factory with 4-6 cats depending if you had a Cali special and should remain that way if we were to abide by the law. Any car that is driven on the street should be 100% compliant if we want to be do-gooders on this board, yet I see just the opposite. If we want to be technical about remaining law-abiding, then why is Stangnet still allowing the promotion of illegal modifications that are designed for “off-road” use only and may instigate a street racing situation. I would guess that all parts should have CARB cert numbers if we were to be PC.
I’ve also noticed as it was brought up on another thread that we are to promote the well-being of the sport, but if we are truly worried about some of the younger generation(s) emulating us by racing on the street (using this as an example) why wouldn't they install a non-catted H-pipe and pollute our air as well? Installing a higher gear ratio resulting in a loss of mpg on the highway, which indirectly is supporting foreign oil and altering our mpg ratings; does this not matter as well? Does this not affect everyone in a negative way?
I would like an explanation from the powers to be on here as to why only ban street racing, yet most speed-enhancing parts are just as illegal, can or may provoke street racing, and yet we talk about such items on here all of the time and turning a blind eye.
While not only street racing can/may hurt innocent bystanders, so could the raw HC's CO's and other pollutants that we spew from our exhaust, whether it’s only 500 miles a year or 10,000. These are contributors of Ozone action days, noise pollution and other such negative associations with our sport, so why allow these to continue on Stangnet?
This thread is for moderators of Stangnet only, please don’t post in this thread if you are not a moderator or owner (co-owner) of this site. I would like this to be for the well-being of the public forum members, possibly made into a thread sticky for all to understand why the rules have been established as they have and the importance of following those rules on here.
Thank you for your time in advance.
