    Its really not a "unexplored" topic.... You can buy DVDs on this subgect all day long at any Best Buy/Circuit City. People who are into that side of the scene will not want to pick up a book about it when they can either do it or watch video's of people doing it

    if youve got the ambition to do it then go for it...fuck what everyone else thinks bc its not their idea and doesnt appeal to them as it would you...and as long as one person reads it then youve been a success...i say go for it

    Dont take what I said as bashing the idea, Im just saying its not a new topic ( Maybe it is in print form ) But people that are interested in that life style will not want to read what they can see and watch instead, ya know?

    I agree with Brett. Street racers would rather sit and watch the shit than sit down to read a good book. Don't get me wrong. If you want to, do it. There's NO reason not to. I, myself, love reading books. I know this pretty much generalizing, or stereotyping, but streetracers aren't the brightest crayons in the box. They usually don't have the patience to actually sit down and read something they can just watch.

    Again, you should do it if you want to. Not a bad idea at all. Later, QD.

    Do it, especially since it's non-fiction based....gives you more creative options to explore.

    yeah but if you have a FACTUAL book...the it would be worth it. Fast and the Furious/ 2 fast 2 furious for example..... that is so blown out of proportion ....you cant really get "facts" out of that movie....or not too many at least.... write the book man...hell id read it

    Just imagine when F&F VIII comes out...

    "wuzzup man, you watchin tha movie or readin tha book first?"

    ...."In my opinion viewing the movie prior to the book will distort the actual intellect of the books characters resulting in losing sight of the imagery of the contrasting correllation of man and his machines"

    ..."ok dude, whatever, i'm watchin the movie"
