so i take it that you "need" 1000 TT hp and giant brakes and sticky tires for commuting back and forth to work?
i agree.... do what you want with your money and your car.... but....if somebody is building a car and using the high tech parts to make it go fast, handle like a race car, and stop on a dime.... because thats the "style" or "trend" then i think its a waste of time and money. on the other hand, i give extra props to the guy who is upgradeing his car because it needs it... better brakes, better handling etc...because the owner actually drives the car to a point where it needs "more".
the track talk is more of a way of being pollitically correct, most if not all of us would consider "spirited" street driving a way of life, back roads where the posted speed limits are pointless to our mindset. this is however a lot more unsafe to us, the car, other drivers etc..... than if we were to actually take the car to a track.
my point is simple, if you build a car with upgraded everything because you think you might need it....GREAT. if you build a car and spend gobs and gobs of money on sh!t you dont need, because you are building like the trends mandate, yet never plan on "pushing" the car past the point of what the factory engineered it for.... then you are nothing short of a POSER
too many people are affraid, or unable to think outside the box. they would rather do what has been done time and time again. is there anything wrong with it...NO. but why should they receive special credit for doin nothin original.
i think rad ramblers project is great.... because its different. i think kieth's elky tearing up a road coarse, packin off late model muscle is what its all about, the full tube chassis mustang fastback...a lil extreme... but the idea i love.
these are just my humble meaningless opinions, i know a lot of people disagree with me.... and i really dont care.
