Hey guys, I thought some of you may find this funny. I purchased this shirt online, I thought it would be funny to wear to the next PCA Autocross or Track Meet.

Why are people so insecure?

Nissan claimed the GTR did the ring in 7:29. I guess that they were using special tires or a souped up version of the car to do so.

Big deal.

Well Boo,

It is a big deal if you are benchmark testing your vehicle against the competition and further stating that your vehicle is stock against another stock vehicle.

If that doesn't make much sense, I'll explain it like this:
Two athletes go to the olympics, one from Germany, one from Japan. The one from Japan takes anabolic steroids and says, "I didn't take anabolic steroids".

The one from Japan wins the gold medal, takes the fame, the glory, etc.

Then the next year, someone says, Japan, we are going to test you for steroids , Japan competes but can't come anywhere near the record from the year before, but is also being closely scrutinized for tampering, steroids.

If you were the German athlete, would you say, "No big deal", "who cares anyway"... No, no you would not. You would want the Japanese athlete to be exposed, called out, etc.

Do you get the point now?

What I don't get is who buys these cars based upon performance at the ring anyway?

To me this makes about as much sense as the adolescent "my dad can beat up your dad" argument.

Fine. Point it out. But I just don't see being so sensitive about it.

The site is www.greatertees.com under the "cars" section. I paid 14.99, which includes shipping, so its pretty reasonable.
