It makes me just want to trailer my WRX everywhere and drive a bone stock car on the street.

Try living in Sacramento, where we've had 3 or 4 "street racing" deaths each month.

I'm just waiting for when I get pulled over becuase my car fits a "profile for a street racer."

Hey, if I had another car to drive around, I'd NEVER drive my talon. My talon, just like Matts STi, would also hide from clouds/rain/FUCKING DIRT ALL OVER THE ROADS & FREEWAYS/bad weather period.

The whole time I had my Sentra SE-R and Celica GT-S, I never once had an encounter like this, and both of those cars had plenty of modifications.

Reno has a street racing scene...a super small one that the mayor has a PERSONAL vendetta against. I wouldn't be surprised if you saw some stops like this. Luckily they have ZERO idea whats legal for my car =D.

I didn't realize you couldn't have adjustable cam timing, or after market electronic ignition on a car. (my buddy added electronic ignition to his really old VW bug) .
NV lets you run just about anything right ? (if you don't have to smog)

There are only two counties in NV that even do emissions testing (Clark and Washoe, i.e. Las Vegas & Reno), so for the most part we are pretty safe.

IIRC, the original pamphlet given to the cops under that program to help them "identify street racing cars" had a picture of a bone-stock STI on it.

That's dumb. Sure they have a giant wing and scoop, but don't use a stock car as an example. That just shows how much less they know then they thought they did. Or something.

Again, did you see the reason he used as to why he was pulled over.....no front license plate.

That whole thing is bs, so next will be, if you don't have stock rims on your car...your modified and I am gonna have to look at it. I suppose everyone that modifies their car is assumed to be a street racer?

one of the things the officer was looking for when he approached the car was a monster tach and a shift light.

Next time I get pulled over in the STi I'll point out to the officer that I have a shift light built in. Street Racer from the factory yo!.

That's because it's illegal to not have a front plate...

Yes its illegal here in nevada according to the revised statutes as indicated in a thread previously posted to in here, however, some of us still drive without a front plate, I currently don't have a front plate. I think it might be worth it for me to dig it out and put it back on. Just one less thing to get pulled over for I guess. I have two relatives that are cops in Cali, and I can just imagine them doing the same damn thing.
