I guess I just get a bit tired of seeing folks with massive setups on their car. Not that it isn't cool and all, but I just feel that 90% of performance driving is all in the hands at the wheel. I guess that lots of parts does hlep, but I don't want to ever have someone say "Yeah, you did well b/c of your parts." I want to hear "You did that with only that?!?!?!" I guess I am just bored and quasi-ranting. Feel free to flame or b|tch at me...

it all comes down to preference (and budget limitations too i suppose0.example: driving a high-tech, race-everything hyper performance car is a very different experience that driving a 20 year old sportscar with 20 year old tech.i love flogging the z06, but its tiring. sure, driving the noble m12 is unlike anything else, but it demanding.an hour on the track with the s13, and im all smiles. no sore muscles, no gray hairs, etc.:Dmy opinion i guess. -Enzo

No flames from me. I agree completely with you.

I just think that skill is more important than bank (except in pro racing and drag racing that is;))
