"performance videos", lets discuss Options

[presure2]

hey all,

we all know 6gc has a strict "NO street racing" policy, so that is not what i'd like to discuss here.
what i would like to discuss is the option of allowing "performance" videos.

for example:
speedo vids (as long as there not in heavy traffic, or racing)
flyby vids,
in car performance vids (again, as long as its not in heavy traffic or racing)
are all things i think we could allow, while still maintaining the no street racing policy.
i'd like to hear all of your thoughts on this, and just to be clear, again, this is not about allowing street racing on the site, we WILL not allow that.
lets keep this discussion on topic, and civil, please.

I like 96bluevert's idea of autocross and drag racing vids. Personally, I like the idea of having these vids posted, but I do think they should be heavily monitered by the mods. Not necessarily ever for anything illegal, but just so we don't get hundreds of videos of ST's doing 0-100 mph test runs. No offense ST guys, but I don't have ten minutes to waste lol. And my car isn't much better, I wouldn't want you wasting 9 1/2 minutes of your life watching my video. I think if there was a section like this, only videos of actually fast cars or at least something tasteful should be posted. That's just my opinion.

And if a new mod was to be appointed, I nominate playr158. He seems very knowledgeable about everything 6GC and beyond.

EDIT: Actually, I was just thinking about my comment about the ST's doing their runs. There is a thread concerning the speed limiter on a Celica, and a few people with ST's claim their car can do 130. I do want to see that, since more than one person is claiming it. To quote NJCCMD, pictures or it never happened.
