    The Kanjozoku: Osaka's Infamous Street Racers



    A cool little documentary about a style of street racing responsible for a large portion of the "JDM" scene.

    I once saw a photo of a church sign that said:

    Jesus loves you even it you think your Civic is fast.

    (By the way, it's not)

    That's the real JDM. lol

    I wonder how fast they actually push their cars on that road. 120 Mph? 140? 150?? The videos of them hooning around doesn't seem like they're going too fast.

    The original kanjo are most likely in their 40's and 50's by now.

    'Wangan' Midnight. The anime was based on the Mid Night Club, they had a lot less light-weight civics and a lot more high powered Skylines, Supras, RX7s and 911s.
