As you can see, iShampoo a.k.a Bubbles, finished the track at "0:54".
Is that Speed Gear? You decide and tell me.
I accused him on using Speed Gear, and on his defense he says that he uses his Dad's computer, and to add, he also said he could increase his speed even more than that (faster than 0:54). Now, what kind of logical way can you think of?
Well as for one, we can consider the fact that he may be Overclocking. Now what is overclocking?
Overclocking is the process of forcing a computer component to run at a higher clock rate than it was designed for or was designated by the manufacturer, usually practiced by personal computer enthusiasts in order to increase the performance of their computers
Overclocking is not an easy procedure, you must watch your PC every second and look at the cooling meter. In this case, iShampoo says he uses his Dad's comp, which in theory, he should have an overclocked computer with a cooling meter above it. Now, there's a flaw on using overclocking as a reason, but first of all you must understand what are overclocking's pro's and contra's :
Users who overclock their components mainly focus their efforts on processors, video cards, motherboard chipsets, and Random Access Memory (RAM). It is done through manipulating the CPU multiplier and the motherboard's front side bus (FSB) speed until a maximum stable operating frequency is reached. There are several considerations when overclocking. The first consideration is to ensure that it is supplied with adequate power to operate at the new speed. However, supplying the power with improper settings or applying excessive voltage can permanently damage a component
This means, overclocking is not safe, it's dangerous for your processor/computer components and will cause serious/permanent damage to your CPU. Now the flaw for this reason you say? Simple, overclocking only enhances GFX Speed, which means it only increases game performance and Graphics Gamma, it does not enable you to do Speed Hacking, giving you boost and such.
This is my theory and reason, if you guys want to flame it go ahead. I'm just trying to make it clean for all of us. Racing is suppose to be a fun game. To test your dexterity and quick reflexes. Meet friends to race, get to know each other and be better together. Remember the very first race you won? It feels like you can take on the world and see if you can be the fastest. Speed Hack ruins everything, not only you've been beaten bad by it, sometimes people who races against Speed Hackers, often does not even know they speed hack. They loose interest in racing because they know they cant match up to that speed and racing will one day perish because of this.
So yeah, you guys decide. Is this Speed Hacking? Poll is up.
Thanks.

P.S.
iShampoo does not know what Overclocking is. So yeah, think about it. What does he use then? How can he be that fast (0:54) and says he can increase his speed even more. Sounds fishy don't you think?
