No. You're a way different kind of enthusiast than I am. I'm not really in favor of putting myself and other people in that kind of danger. Even if you "win", there's nobody to witness and believe you when you brag about it. I'm not trying to get myself locked up, so I build cars for the track where they issue little white pieces of paper that have your times on it. You actually have something that measures your driving skill, unlike on the street. Cars that win impress me.

IMO a Hyundai that is built to run 10's is a thousand times more impressive than some guy who buys a stock Viper to run 13's and doesn't know how to work on it. I couldn't care less about being seen in a $80k Chrysler product that gets whipped up on by 4-bangers at the drag strip. Especially if the ones that do it are only worth $4k, that's embarrassing. I grew up with Cobras, Panteras and GT-40's, so by no means am I a stranger to expensive cars. To me, building performance is a lot more interesting than buying it. But like I said, that's just me.

That's why I mentioned I'd like to have Honda's parts counter software... I'm a tweaker. And regardless of whether or not 1 person thinks that's a bad idea, it's not. I'm still waiting for that elusive post from somebody saying "I've got it!". That software gets updated 4x a year, so someone's got to work at a dealership and have an old CD. I didn't start this thread to have my car bashed, or to "down" anyone else's. What's the first two sentences of my FIRST post?
