The people really doing things could care less about what some guy in another country does to his Honda or anything else. Do you think real racers in real track cars think that we are ruining their reputation putting real speed parts on cars that will never do anything other than be internet car porn stars? They could care less I'd bet. Probably even think it was cool. I think everyone is tired of this topic, let it go already

I think it all boils down to the most basic principles of what makes us do this in the first place. Driving. We like to drive old cars harder than they were ever meant to be driven through the twisties. That's it. That's all. So what difference does the weapon of choice make? American? Japanese? German? The point is we *know* we took something due for retirement, and pushed it past what the factory is currently offering. No matter which factory.

It's about looking at a new camaro and saying "I could'a done it better, GM." and then *proving it* to yourself. The name is just a pronoun tacked onto a build style that reflects one's love of driving, really driving their car. Those names mean whatever the individuals want them to mean. Despite the fact that we've all been hooked on pro-touring and g-machines for as long as we have doesn't mean that it isn't a young segment of the market. It is. And the only way to make sure this segment doesn't die out is to let it grow.

I'm sorry you left the other board. I hope you'll change your mind. People have differences of opinion and that's what boards are all about. Don't let one exchange ruin it for you.

As long as it meets the requirements of accelerating, stopping and turning better, then it can be PT in my opinion.
