Two, all those comments above are directly aimed at certain members, and I can think who they might be. One, that being me, two Special Tool, perhaps John, and Todd K? Why, what purpose does it serve, or what value does it add to this thread at all? You behaviors are so consistent as to why you have been banned so many times, yet you never learn it amazes me.
And you're another one. Not a paying memeber, you don't list that you have a 951, no photos of your car, no web site, not even a single word I can ever recall of you having a 951 or even being in one. But yet, all those attacks above are warranted, and more so, we are suppose to believe that you are a subject matter expert, on what, attacking people?
If you have nothing of value to add or a single positive comment too, why don't you troll back to your trailer park where you live.

What about the 70mph brake test results I posted???
Isn't that what we were talking about......are those results inconsequential to me being told I have no clue about relative brake performance b/c I don't have 2,000 posts and don't have pictures of my ride, and don't get invited to 951 forum xmas party or whatever
What about the - STREET DRIVING - brake test results dammit!!??!!
Seems like a lot of the mega 1k+ post core group here are the ones who want to just sling mud and say I did this and that and you didn't so listen to me and not you...without putting up facts relating to the original debate....go get in a street based brake fight w/ a Z06 and then come back and tell us some facts...maybe the published brake results are GM propaganda...go find out for me please
plus....as has been pointed out to me many times the Vette is heavy, should do worse in a controlled test...and...a rear engine car w/ majority of weight over the bigger tires has a design advanatge in that weight over big contact patch set up...Ferry had the magic recipe way back when and the Vette stuck with a Herman Munster layout is still outbraking the marquee 997TT model..."those brakes suck"...??
where do we stand on the debate..anyone convinced yet?

But they do put thier money where thier moth is when it comes to racing...the Pontiacs kicked *** in Grand Am this year. My buddy Lars was criew chief of that whole deal for TRG this year and he said he was never lacking for mfg. money or support.
Is that your silver car in your profile? It is really cool looking. Are those factory cup flares? Is that car in the US? I'll post some of mine when I have time to deal w/ it. Its a fairly street modified '86 that an older friend of mine bought new my sr. yr. in HS and I said "I'm going to get one of those one day" and I ended up getting his and totally redoing the whole thing motor, chassis and all even though it wasn;t abused or anything. It is now a Volvo color 'Safron Pearl"...kind of a burnt orange like the newer dodge and nissan color but Volvo's came out way back with the release of the C70 and it is a much nicer deeper color in my opinion...surprise surprise. i have some other hot rods too. I am also a Ducati disciple...basically a two wheeled appeasment until I can get my F430 or current model equivalent.
Do you speak German? I spent some years living in Zurich working for a bank and spoke some work German and spent several years racing road bicycles as a pro on a Canton Vaud (French) Swiss based team yet a lot of my teammates and fellow peddlers spoke German so I picked a lot up that way.
Most of the people I've kept in close touch with from those days all live in Munich area, one came to become a pretty high up AC engineer w/ BMW and on May day this year (05/01 - a big holiday there I guess you know) he had a demo / test M6 that he had signed out for the weekend and something freakish happened and it caught fire and burned completely...in the middle of the night in a remote area..unfortunatly w/ him in it. I have another good friend who is an engineer at Audi HQ in Ingolstadt and he is working his way up the ladder, he workd mostly on Lamborghini and Bently models though.
Did you hear the head of VW group - Piedscheider or however you spell his name got ****canned? He used to be BMW head until he botched the Rover purchase....now the guy who was head of Audi is going to head of the group...can't remember his name. Could be a good thing. The Chairman you know is Pietch who is somehow very closely and directly related to Ferry the original and his immediate family holds 20% of Porsche and some sizeable chunk of VW group. Wiedeking (?sp) head of Porsche is on VW board too.
Incestuous bunch over there, but to think the country is the aprx. size of Wisconsin and was a pile of rubble 60 years ago they sure pump out some righteous **** huh? They're all possessed...you've lived there...you know what I mean.

Yeah that's mine, check the 951 RS link in the sig. They're fiberglass reproductions - its in Texas right now. Have no time to work on her, I speak a bit but understand way more. I was there in high school (96-00) I miss the roads and how people drive. The US has no concept of how to drive on the road.

To me, that is really irrelevant - you simply can't make a car perform to the same levels on the street as on the track. Thus, the street performance results are moot, since they prove nothing in terms of track application. Yes - I am biased that way. But if it will perform admirably on the track, one will have no worries on the street. Clean and simple.
...go get in a street based brake fight w/ a Z06 and then come back and tell us some facts...maybe the published brake results are GM propaganda...go find out for me please
