AS far as the whole "hotrodding and speeding on public roads is dangerous" arguement. I seam to recall an owner of a silver Titan pickup with a dealer tag, which frequents this board. Try to get me to pull against them on the Stead 395S on ramp 5 or 6 months ago. He had to have topped out at 85'ish while merging into traffic from the far right hand lane (crossing a couple of lanes into the far left hand lane). Is'nt the speed limit 65 on 395????
Oh wait, he's got "track time and Auto X's". There for it's safe. Perhaps this club should practice what it preaches.
Not trying to poke anyone in the eye, but I see WRX/STI's rodding around town every single week. Wonder how many of them frequent here?

Its neither bench racing nor direct experience. Its repeating the direct experience of many tuners I have talked to personally. Including ones that have nothing to financially gain by telling me this.
As for practicing what we preach, there is the fallacy of hypocrisy. I personally have done a lot of things I don't necessiarly recomend to anyone.
Sure, I've gotten my car to 120+ on public roads and raced people well over the speed limit. Doesn't mean I think I'm am perfect, in fact, I very much know it was not the best thing I could have done. If I try to tell you what is 'the right thing' am I wrong because I haven't always followed my own advice? If I want to pass along a little experience to the board, I will, regardless of what Ive done in the past (or even in the future).
