MUSIC + RAcing = ?

ok so i have always wondered how different people feel about racing with music i would love to know what you guys think about it. and if you guys enjoy music while racing what music? and why? also not just for racing but how about when ur just speeding on the freeway weaving in and out of traffic? ( yes i know that stupid to do but sometimes going 80mph while people are going 70mph is not really speeding. well it is but i think u know what i mean.)

as for me i guess it just depends on what im feeling that day sometimes when im driving to school at night ( LOng Beach State) i love listening to some BoneThugs or some Three6Mafia or some where along the lines of those type of music i dont kno why i guess it just mellows me out. But if im speeding and weaving in and out of traffic i like listening to more upbeat music and maybe some rock ex. Thrice, Linkin Park, UnderOath, and sometimes even some techno i gues it just gets me in the mood to go fast. on the contrary tho when im seriously racing i turn off my sounds ( 2 12's on 2 1600 amps with a custom BoX it brings a nice sound to my car) i guess i like to hear the sound of the engine instead of music that and i enjoy a nice roar of an engine over any melody on a system any day of the week

V-Tec = great sound

I like to listen to Slipknot, Lamb of God, Mudvayne, Godsmack, Disturbed, White Zombie, etc. when I seem to drive more agressively. When I mellow out and just cruise I listen to 70's rock.

Straight Techno, BPM (Beats Per Minute) on XM radio. Makes me go fucking Nuts. But sometimes I listen to Salsa when I mellow out and some old school hip Hop.

I like istening to other cas, it's a good change from my music, heh sometimes I listen to exhaust clips as well.
Music doesn't really effect the way I drive anymore, thank god. If it did I would've had a few tickets to say the least. I listen to music while cruising, but I could listen to that same music while driving fast as well. These days I love playing Test Drive Unlimited, and believe it or not I get a lot of my speed cravings rid of through playing that game. First person view plus weaving in and out of traffic in a Ferrari is fun, but you can just call me a loser.

BPM ftw.... my driving is effected by music. i notice when i listen to easy listening type, instrumental, or even mellow love songs, i drive speed limit and smoothly and softly.... but then when there's hip hop and upbeats like ludacris, lil jon, anything like that, i'm an asshole driver and i get pissed off when people drive too slow(speed limit), especially on a two lane road and people drive side by side and can't go any faster... dumb asses, and then there's trance/techno like BMP or THE SYSTEM on XM radio.... damn, i just straight speed and weave in and out of traffic... but smoothly... when i race, i turn down radio, i like to hear my engine and their's if i can to tell what gear they're in.

depends on my mood... I either turn the music up all the way or I turn absolutely everything off (a/c, radio, etc.) so that it's just me and the car goin at it... when the music's off, I don't even need to look at the spedometer to know the exact moment I have to switch gears
