I read this in the local paper this morning and thought to myself - hmmm, that's a humongus gray area there.
A couple guys were racing on a major highway here recently and caused a multiple car collision. A trucker that swerved to miss the pile-up was killed. The racers were arrested and face a bail hearing this morning. So the Attorney General's remarks below are probably just posturing. Scary stuff tho eh?

Ontario moves to seize cars juiced up for street racing
The government has the power to seize and destroy cars that have been adapted for street racing, and can do so before a race takes place or any charges are laid, Ontario Attorney General Michael Bryant said yesterday.
Car junkies who pour thousands of dallars into their vehicles to make them as fast as possible are wasting their money, Bryant said.
He warned potential racers that all it takes is a tip from police to seize and destroy their cars.
"If we can establish someone has parts and they're juicing up their car - obviously for the purpose of street raccing - then we can seize those vehicles," Bryant said.
"We will seize it and you will never see it again. We will crush your car, we will crush the parts."
