雖然在台灣，被學術論文所討論的飆車現象只有二十幾年，但就全球而言，飆車歷史大概與汽車歷史一樣久，從上個世紀初就已經出現所謂的飆車問題。由於目前國內站在法律以及輔導角度對飆車問題的研究，並不能提出令人滿意的分析，因此在這篇論文我所要處理的，是飆車出現的原因與整體社會的關係而不是將飆車獨立來看。在這個研究中同時參照了幾方面的資料。首先，將近18個月參與週末飆車提供了思考的環境與體驗的機會。其次，對於飆車歷史的整理提供了對於飆車現象縱貫的了解。第三個部分是，透過理論的激發而孕育出這個規範、快感與文化工業的三螺旋分析架構。三螺旋的意義在於，三者共構的情境不斷成為下一步發展的基點。文化工業擴大了參與人數與影響範圍，使某種飆車活動逐漸被接受。即使某些活動一時間難以被社會所接受，賽車，這個代償性調和便會去貼近這種快感的滿足。而規範設限之處便是犯禁活動的起點，不單指人從違法行為中獲得快感，更是人會尋求超脫式快感的深層原因，它與既存生活狀態對人造成的束縛有關。既有的賽車活動為飆車提供機械上與技術上的資源，並且提供了被突破、跨越的界限。而這種犯禁行為的獨特性又形成了它得以透過文化工業展佈的利基。這個三螺旋，將會因著每一個時期的規範、快感與文化工業的條件而不斷攀升。 Street racing, while in Taiwan it appeared as a subject in academic literature only about twenty years ago, it has a history as long as that of the automobile, that is, over a century. Related studies in Taiwan were often limited to the perspective of law violation and behavior correction. This thesis therefore looks at street racing not as an isolated delinquency but rather relates it to broader social contexts. The analysis is based on three kinds of sources. Firstly a participatory observation that lasted 18 months allows a first hand experience. Secondly, a review of literature historically on the subject allows a diachronic understanding of street racing. Thirdly, theoretical concepts are employed to construct analytical framework which is called “the triple spiral of normality, pleasure and cultural industry”. The spiraled interaction among the three factors gives rise new forms of street racing. Cultural industry works to broaden the population participated as well as the public acceptability of the activities. Norm attracts deviance, not only because of the pleasure obtained from violating it, but also because norm as limitation calls for its transgression. Legal racing provides the mechanical and technical ground for a game of record breaking. The rebellious activities are thus transformed into a cultural industry. And thus along the changing conditions through time, the triple spiral would keep on spiraling.
