I drive a civic, with an engine I built, and of course every other civic wants to run. I usually know which i can take and which I can't. Yes, granted i guess sometimes it tempts me to know just how much the work I did improved the car, but then I can just go to the track and not take any risk. (legal or safety)
Again, not a flame, it seems like on every forum 85% (its true, I polled every car forum on teh internets
) of the people have their pride to uphold. Someone explain to me just what it is I'm missing.

Since you waiting for a narrow minded reply, why get your britches all tied in a knot, options are like ******** everybody has one.
If you want my narrowed opinion the best place to test your driving skills and the performance of your car, don't you think the track would be a better place to do that, unless you are in the desert or some forgotten place in Utah where obviously there is no traffic flow around you, safer for everybody involved.
