dB Drag Racing

Posted by michael on from the highway-to-the-danger-zone dept.

Exedore writes "For a paltry $80,000 outlay, you too can fight back against the punk kids blasting gangsta rap from their Honda Civics. Enter the strange (and rather loud) world of dB Drag Racing and join a small group of dedicated competitors in their quest for the loudest car sound system possible. The numbers: 130,000 watts output, 177dB, 10,000 lbs. of equipment (including the vehicle and all the sound insulation needed to protect those nearby). It might not be quite up to Disaster Area standards, but it's not far off."

  1. Why is this /. worthy? by Cruel+Angel · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Seriously. What's interesting about a bigger, badder stereo? If someone submitted a story about their overpowered PC, it would get rejected. As it should be. Builing a big sound system into a caravan makes it through though.
    It's time for some perspective people. Next on /. the worlds biggest lasagna.

  2. Kill them all! by axxackall · · Score: 1, Flamebait
    They don't need any melamine. As I need a gun to shoot a driver of every car I hear music.

    I love music. But I hate to hear someone else's music. And also I hate whn my 6 month old baby is disturbed by the sound that outloud all other motor engines around. Even more, I hat to hear their music in my appartment at 7th floor.

    I think once the law doesn't protect me from those crazy guys, then I have to go crazy myself and kill them all. One by one. I am serious. Just where is my gun?
