Put up or shut up..... bench racers!

Mikamaro,

I'm with Jim ( hey bro ), set it up and have fun.

One post, pretty brash start dude.

With a post like that don't count on the "showdown" soon, to satisfy you.

I don't think most here would want to "trade em for a few" and go thrashing. I have more class than to ask "can I borrow the MULE, I want to go beat the piss out of it, be right back".

Well stated Stuart, to call out the entire Lateral-g/PT membership with your first post may not get the response that you desire. But after all is said and done an event like the one your proposing is an excellent way to get those hardcore guys to lay down the law. Oh yeah and welcome to the site!

I am I the only one that is kinda rubbed the wrong way by this thread........

Not everyone hear wants to run the Sh*t out of there car, My car is not even done yet andI can promise you I will not run the hell out of it at the track....yes yes I know I not a pro-tourer but I don't care.

To come on here with your first post and call everyone out is a little bold IMO

*edit*

we posted at the same time

Mikamaro, where are you located? Some of us have gone to the track, and if you want to come by, we can show you how it works. I've driven a few modified cars, and helped build a few too, and I only speak from experience. Many of the guys here do as well. Thing is, if you drive the car on the street, you'll BARELY notice the differences. Here's a story. In my Camaro club, a fellow member complained of spending $60+ on brake pads for his sons car. He told me that they were supposed to be a high performance brake pad, but that he felt no difference driving it around town. Well, you won't. Most performance pads you won't be able to tell the difference. Bash on the car a bit, and heat the brakes up, and you'll notice where the difference comes in.

Now, yes, there are a lot of "passing on what I've heard" guys around, but at least half of the time that information comes from someone who knows. I've done a lot of research on parts for my car, and I've asked people what differences they've felt. That is something that helps me make a decision on what I get for my car. In fact, I've built a friends Honda and told him exactly what he could expect. He was shocked when it actually happened. So, not all bench racing is BS. You have to know who to talk to, learn who really does know what they are doing, and then make a decision. Most of the guys here, except for a couple guys I won't mention, know what they are doing. Get a basic idea from what you read here, but doing it yourself is what gives you experience. Here, we will mainly talk about what we have experienced.

Hey Bill,
