And btw, it would not take a pro to turn sub 1:30 in your car. The guy you seem to like to taunt (rsrracer...aka Chris) could do that in his sleep. As could at least 2 dozen other posters here.
Your car is very fast, and you should be happy to own such a nice & cool car. Stephen at IA does great work. I certainly wish I had a car like that.
And Cleve, if ColorChange is agreeing with you, you know you are wrong
.
That would be about as fair as watching Paris Hilton trying to wrestle Andre the Giant. I watched you and Spencer battle at Road America in the sprint. You guys just drove away from everyone else. It was awesome to watch.

First of all, I'm just curious, are those your **** bouncing in the left hand corner of my screen?
Second, I would love to see anyone but a Pro turn a sub 1:30 in my car without killing themselves. Your statement shows your complete ignorance as to how fast a sub 1:30 lap is at Road Atlanta, in any car, especially a STREET car.
Third, Taunting Chris? He got his panties in a wad when the first video was aired showing me passing Cup cars...gimme a break.

criticism is useful. You can do something with criticism . . . even when it was not delivered with good intentions.
praise is meaningless. It doesn't really change a thing.
In the end, all that really matters is that you are having a good time. When you post a lap time, though, it seems like you are begging for comparisons. Why else post it?

LMAO...I agree totally. Top tier instruction is extremely valuable, and I too always know there is more speed to be had in my own driving.

Cleve's vid is OK, I can see how it might rub a few folks the wrong way though, I think he does a really nice job driving. I remember Dave Murry turning 1:35-7's a few years back in a showroom stock c2 996 PDE car just to put it in perspective. Apples and oranges.
I love on 6bling the posts about a 800hpTT street monster that barely runs in the high ten's at the dragstrip, and they all pat themselves on the back. When in reality 10k spent on a '69 Nova will do the same thing. It's all apples and oranges.
Nice vids though guys!

P.S. What times do you run at Road Alanta?

Btw, your post on 6speed does not come across as egotiscal at all. You should have stuck with that text.

What were your times at Road Atlanta? What car?
IMHO, the only reason that Chris posted was you said that you were "passing cups". Well his point was that only a poorly driven cup would be doing 1:36s. I've passed a Spice GTP and a couple of Indy Lites cars car in my '91 turbo...does that make me great? Heck no, it just means the other guys sucked quite badly.
From the very beginning I stated that we were all amateurs at a DE for chrissake...put pros in the cars being passed and my car, same thing might happen, just quicker.

I see that good ole Cleve got himself banned due to his antics on the GT3 forum. I am amazed by how people have to be insulting and denigrating when they find that their opinions or their talent is not so special after all.
Here to all you good guys on Rennlist.
