Then you throw a couple jabs in like this:

"I think some people should have bought an AMG SL55 instead of a 1969 camaro though on these forums.

A refined muscle car is cute, I'd like one for my girlfriend."


I know you were just kidding, but sometimes on these message boards the typed word doesn't come out the same as if you were talking directly. I get what you're saying and agree with most all of it, but I also see why the responses are coming in.............

People also seem to be forgetting they are in a TRACK thread. Where comments such as:

"HP has nothing to do with being fast."
"HP is high because the owners are compromising for a lack of driver talent."


Actually apply. In track situations both of those comments are true at every track day across the nation. If people are offended by them, its because they've never hit the track and if they have, never had any instruction. Those are instructors words, not mine. I'm just repeating what I've been taught and seen to be true AT THE TRACK.

The AMG comment and the girlfriend were clearly jokes.
