Unhappy People taking shots at G-machines

Read this thread. Come on guys, show Freiburger what a true G-machine is all about. They are saying no g-machines did drag week and g-machine owners are afraid to wring their cars out. I know there are plenty of badazz cars here that can kick some butt.

I think Frieburger is right; there just aren't that many g-machine type cars out there - yet. But also be aware that Friebuger WANTS something like to happen, and by him poking and prodding, he's trying to get a reaction out of the guys like us that are into the scene. He WANTS us to stand up and show him that he's wrong. A win-win for everyone.

i agree with him to a point..... i see lots of PT "style" cars on the streets, but when asked if they would be interested in taking it to an open track day...many say "no way" fallowed by the "what ifs". i really dont get it.... kinda like the whole pro-show....er "street" deal, the whole street rod deal, etc..... people spending thousands and thousands of dollars making the car "look" like it would be worthy... but in the end are just building it to be trendy.

i really hope the poking and prodding make an impact. i really hope that the people spending money on gi-hugic brakes, hi-tech suspension parts, big sticky tires...etc...will actually put the cars in a sutuation to use them.

taking an old elco to a road coarse and spanking new technology is exactly what the "sport" is all about. building a 4000hp 4 turbo, twin supercharged, efi, kandy metal flaked , polished billet, sticky tire "show car" and taking it on a muli-state cruise... means nothin to me.

but then again.... what do i know... im just a nobody with a build plan bigger than my budget allows.... but when its done...you can say anything ya want about it...except its a PT "poser"

can i get an amen brotha
