A disturbing look at illegal street racing in Toronto. The scene includes seedy hangouts, where auto racers challenge each other and place bets, the garages, where speed junkies build the ultimate power cars, and the crash sites, where racers have died.




I'm watcing it RIGHT NOW @ work.
Some dude has a turbo Miata, 323 AWD sleeper & a 2nd gen 450HP RX7.
Yes.
Mazda runs through his veins!!

So go.
Go now.

Hey buddy... just finished watching it... it was a Mazda-thon if you ask me. Too bad he was a cocky loser who talked more than he could drive.

I didn't like the show that much, I think they totally overlooked the good things about the street scene and just looked at the bad. Not once did they mention the love and devotion that people develop for the cars like street racers do. They only mentioned how much money is "wasted" (obviously they've never seen a Sport-20 Protege) on mods to cars and how much of a menace it is.

I did like "Rob's" cars though... the Miata looked really good with the hard-top and the 18's, I bet that thing screams when he doesn't break the clutch (who does that?). I wonder if that was a 323 GLX? I hope he kills that Civic one day... I was hoping that the Mazda-Honda rivalry was gonna be put to rest there, but it continues on.... maybe forever...!

I watched the show on tv the other night. I agree that the guy with the mazdas was a chode who talked too much and couldn't back it up. By the end of the show I wanted him to keep losing just because he was that much of an idiot. When he heard the one guy was running 12s in his honda, he piped up and said he was going to kill him in a race with his 323, then he proceeded to go to the track and run in the 14s HIIIIILARIOUS!
