No way. Ya think ??

I guess it has been that long, since I have really read into whom it might be. He's been gone long enough, that I have become complacent and it actually makes sense now.

Wow. I just liked it because I thought it was a ballsy comment to be made around these parts..... considering that there are plenty of cats here that actively thrash their rides on the blacktop and at track days.

I was at wayne dues shop this weekend. He is working on a new subframe that will allow him to produce them at a faster rate and be more cost effective, so we may see his price for a new subframe drop a bit. Also he is working on producing the frame that is in Scotts car for production as another option.

I think the new DSE subframe is cool but I really like the rugged look of the tubular frame with the welds. If 2 camaros are at a car show and they both have there hoods open, one with the DSE frame and a Wayne Due frame, the one with the DSE frame might get looked at as a stock one.

I for one enjoy the technical end of things.

If you don't like it, or it bores you, don't read it. I'm in the process of building a car that for me is a lot of money. I like to understand and at least be able to make an educated decision.

If I choose to buy an "expensive" upgrade, I like to know ahead of time whether it is Fluff or truely good technology, then make a decision accordingly.

If this is not your cup of tea, pick anouther topic and knock yourself out.

Well i'm glad to (finally) read some of you are sharing my point of view.

I mean you can be a anybody, full 'o' cash and just be willing to give it around because you like cars and don't know how to work on 'em...But that should not stop you from finding a few minutes a day to educate yourself and understand what you are doing. (it just makes no sense )

I'm no millionnaire, but i will do things the same way when i get there. (working at it !!! )

I tought about something tonight.... Remember when everybody we're building Pro-Streeters; You needed to have an 8-71 lung on top of that496 Rat, a Lenco behind it, 14 x 32 Goodyears and so many points to that cage that you'd lose count of 'em to run 10.50's ....when Chuck Samuel could do 9's in his El Camino on 9 inch slicks on 1-4 barrel and steel wheels....

But that Scott Sullivan Nova did Look cool. (Hey, i'm 33...I just remember those cars that's all!!! )

Same thing..."WOW!" Factor....

You can get the job done or even better if you "think" of what you are doing,(what is called engineering i guess) and.....Yes.....you will "WOW" the ones that are like you (edit,theorically speaking; those that go 'see' car shows and don't know squat, onlookers) with your "flashing" namebrand toys at car shows if thats what you are after...

I think that spending the cash is more than OK if its worth it...But to know that, you need to know what you are buying...and why! Back to square one.

Lead.
