I've noticed... the guys with the really fast cars have problems over at NASIOC and I-Club... someone casually says "well, I'm putting 450 to the ground" and everyone else is instantly skeptical, since that's not easy to do, and it's very easy on a forum to make shit up. It seems like it taks a magazine article to prove it to those guys.

Plus it's easy to get defensive... I can't imagine how much work and money it takes to get a WRX up over 400hp... After all that time, money, and bloody knuckles, it's easy to get pissed when peple won't recognize your hard work. And as soon as you're defensive, they take that as a sign that you're lying (which logically makes no sense...)

Since this forum is more personal than the big ones, I'll tend to believe you guys, since eventually I'll see what you got with my own eyes. :lol:

Sorry to you Evan if I ever came off like I didn't believe you about the Porsche or the Viper... I do believe you hung with those guys... I just don't believe is was solely due to your WRX... it was more due to driver skill (yours and their lack of it). Either way, no one questions the potential of these little rex's... they continually exceed everyone's expectations.

I saw this guy on 80 going up Tahoe and I saw the Viper down town. The hole real reason I posted that I kept up with this guy is cause. I thought every one would have thought it was funny that this guy in his 125.000$ Porche would try to pull away and when he would look back all he could see was my 25.000$ stock looking WRX. I find that very funny and I would be pissed if I was that guy I would feel like I got ripped off. :lol:

Well this is just what is was like when I said I hung with a Viper and when I said I hung with a Porche ecey ones like yeah right. Truth is a Pro driver can get a new SRT-4 Viper 0-60 in 4.1 SEC and I should be somware in the 4 SEC range its not that far off. I am sorry I got defensive its just felt like I was back talking to people on i-club I was almost over posting on doink cause like Phil said thats the hole reason he left i-club.

Yes, I too would be pissed if a 25,000 + 7,000 (mods) car smoked my 125,000$ porsche. I think I would go home and cry.

Well,

I think the little thread we got going here seems a bit more tangled than it actually is. I'm sure if we were all sitting around at a meetor something and these same things were said it would reach logical conversational end. The fact that we wrote it all out and took the time read each other's(evan's first post in particular) it makes it out to be a little bit hostile. I doubt any of us really mean to be picking apart each other's post since many of us have met each other in person I think we can safely say that whoever said what, was in good faith and maybe they typed it out in way to stir differnet feelings in other people.
Arthur who needs to drive were Evan is driving when, at the meets we see freakin F40's and really nice rx-7's. Last night while driving home my brother got behind a Boxster "S". I told to freaking gun it(he would be gunning it with his 1998 BMW M3). Well he didn't get a chance to b/c the light stoped us and both he and the porsche turned left. But we did joke about how when we turned left he got in the right lane quikcly and darted past the porsche, and I made a joke about how he scored a good "kill" althugh the Boxster is by no means a superpowerful turbo.
Anyways, it seems that Evan has many chances to tail/chase/"drag race" really cool cars. I will admit I would love to do the same but the damage of being caught would pretty much destroy my insurance rates. BTW if I owned a porsche turbo or a new viper I sure as HELL wouldn't let no WRX tail me, everyone one would be spitting up my dust. I mean why don't those people haul a little more ass in those cars(within reason) they can afford the tickets. I guess there some kind of fundemental law that won't let people like me own cars like that(super fast LUXURY cars).

p.s. "Evan I'm going to destory at the Fernley drag races" :?
p.s.s this is my first manual transmission car, I still bog at launch sometimes, f me, i suck at drving.

and Dayofpain, with everything you have done to your car are you happy with it? I mean what was your biggest mistake(with your car)?

You need to rev more and not worry about the clutch its 500$ new tranny at least 2.000 so much better to burn the clutch then stip the gears. Just ask dayofpain he had some tranny problems to say the least I am planing on getting a new tranny before I break mine. :wink:

Can you guys get a 6-speed installed?

Yeah if you want to spend like 5-7.000$ I am looking at just changing out my gears.
