Steve, although you had previously done a fairly detailed break down of what was done during the whole build process, to someone picking up the mag for the first time just for the air bag write-up they might interpret the results different.

I don’t mind blunt at all, just be accurate please. If you’re going to attempt the verbal lashing, make sure your can back it up. In this case you claim that you made in very clear that

yet I find these quotes from the same article the air bag install was done for

Indicating a much improved handling chassis and again reference to the fact that the car had previously been outfitted with performance suspension.

At least this references that it is not a huge improvement

but implies that results are deceiving and that the car really does handle quite a bit better.

then this one lets the reader know that although it handles better out of the box, it has the potential for much more.

So you can see how looking at just the air bag article could lead one to believe that that the air bag was a pretty decent improvement over an already great handling G-machine (since you guys named it such it is fair to assume it must be a pretty good handling car).

Smack-down session over.

It’s not done for my amusement; it is my way of refusing to participate in the dumbing down or pussification of America. Sorry if you feel offended, well not really. You shouldn’t feel offended that I speak (or write) to you like an educated adult.
