Wrong. I'm not sure how much high performance driving (or motorcycling) experience you have, but the idea is to learn how to go fast, not simply to be "aggressive." There is a huge difference between any high performance driving simulation (street driving, RC cars, computer sim games, etc.) and actually having your life (and the lives of others) at risk if you screw up. Race tracks are dangerous; driving fast on race tracks is dangerous; driving fast on race tracks with novice drivers who are "super agressive" is the most dangerous of all.

You've started several threads about setting your car up for extreme high performance driving situations. In each thread, experienced drivers and builders have taken the time to share their experiences with you, in particular to advise you to forget about how fast you're going and to learn how to go fast. You have largely chosen to ignore (or at least not acknowledge) the safety warnings and persist in the pursuit of the extreme high performance driving situation. If you act on the race track as you have on this board, I truly fear that we will shortly be reading about a terrible crash at RA involving a Chevelle, simply because you've been more focussed on going fast than being safe.
