It's all about trial and error. Cris has a solution. I can't wait to hear about how the new solution works.

Well there is no argument about one thing. The beer you drink sucks.

The chicken leg comment was over the top and hilarious. I'm picturing Karl at the gym this very morning doing squats. Its all in good fun, and if we pick up a nugget of information while busting each others balls, then that's good too.

I liked the fact that Todd had an opinion, on others having an opinion.....



30 years of sobriety in May. Good gawd I'm boring.

People learn lots of stuff with an exchange of opinions... Nobody has said (that I've read anyway) "you're an idiot because you don't do "X" my way"....

Excuse me...

Stielow runs power, Hobaugh runs manual. They have both won the Optima Challenge.

I ran carbotech's on the street. Xp10 and AX6 I believe. They moaned and squealed like a pig. They were great on the road course, not so much everywhere else. I found the Hawk HP Plus to be the best all around pad giving up some performance on the road course. The stock wildwood pads were terrible. Hobaugh said my brakes were great. I'd still put power brakes similar to my Vette on another car if it was to be driven on a public road or autocrossed.

Next year you'll probably be arguing for a transmission like the 'Vette has for public roads or autocross.

I have to agree with Weld on this one. This is some of the best info on braking I have read "IN THE UNIVERSE"!!!!

Thanks or sharing guys.
