Unpopular Opinions, Uncommon Platform...
 

That about sums up my status on Pro-Touring.com regarding mega-dollar poseur builds/owners; the car is becoming a bit more popular as parts appear in the marketplace. I'll never consider it Pro-Touring... who needs a label? Those looking to belong? Ha...

This is the short list of parts & performance:
It is prep'd for Auto-X and has been used as such; however the drag racing is getting it tuned in using a realtime environment with actual load feedback (not a dyno).

Recently all of the gauges have been pulled and sold in favour of pressure transducers & temperature translators so that the oil & fuel pressure and EGT can be datalogged. I feel you are kidding yourself if you think you can watch five gauges and run short circuit tracks (ie. Drag and Auto-X) at the same time and remained focused; besides I can have a full panel of gauges displayed on the datalogger if I so desire.

Natasha drives (and I mean drives!) this 2002 B4C Camaro:

Plus, I have the other cars in the signature below for kicks.

Huh. :rolleyes:

Motorheadmike,
Welcome to Lateral-g.net.

What a way to say hello.?

I would like to build my car form scratch, but I, and many others on this site, do not have the skills to build a car from start to finish. You do have a cool project...keep the pics coming.

welcome I have read a few of your Threads on PT.
Here is some advice be a bit more open over here. I find it allot more friendly / less confrentational in these parts.
In addition although their are some of those high $$ ride here there seems to be less Vendor Hype here.

Good luck and pretend like you are in a new girlfriends fathers house. A hot one...

:cheers:

Welcome I hope it better and you get the love over here:) :) :)

That's what I am hoping for... I find vendor driven sites and their members to be a little irritating and to be easily butt-hurt. I may have already touched a nerve with Mr. Adams as he has had more than a few cars built for him in recent years.

The misconception is that I don't like expensive cars; I do. There is no denying the innovation of the artist who built it. I just can't hold a conversation with a person that doesn't turn their own wrenches, as there is no common ground or stories to share.

That sounds short sighted and a somewhat closed minded approach to a car website with such diverse members.

Good luck,
Randy

You have to keep in mind that not everyone has the knowledge or skills to build their own. Hell I can't sing or dance. I leave that to the professionals.:rofl: Sometimes you have to pass the torch. I will have completed 75% of my car but I know better than to try and do body work and paint or some interior because I just don't have the skills at this point. I highly doubt I will ever because I don't have the desire for either.

"If you didn't build it, its not yours"??? Can't have a conversation with someone who doesn't turn wrenches? Man, if you created the world, it would be a boring place.
What an intro. So I assume you built the house you live in? The cars you daily drive? The toilets you use? etc. etc. Man, you have a lot more time on your hands than I do. Short-sighted is an under-statement.

Wow. What a piece of work....
