sure sure Indy

Seems like everyone involved was grossly unprepared and untrained for a completely forseeable problem. On both sides. But I would have to fault the track workers moreso. You've got to maintain professionalism in the face of a bit of bad attitude. 

You could just have written about the confrontation but at the end you took things further and peppered in some practical advice on how to modify the vehicle to prevent this. The extra effort you put in is noticed and appreciated.

Shocking. I always figured guys who bought Dodge Demons were totally zen and would only go to tracks after journaling their feelings and embracing their inner children, and then only to help others there self-actualize their potential. This comes as a great surprise.

As a volunteer at my local track, let me ask “what the hell are these dudes doing?”

And about 20 minutes away from some bomb ass gas station tacos on 85. Well a taco shop AT a gas station but still...it’s a must when going through. Taqueria Lucha Libre ftw. 

Pretty much every sports car made gets redlined by test drivers or lot boys with 10 miles on them. Sometimes after sitting all winter with a 1/2 gallon of shitty gas in the tank. Yet, no one has come up with a reliable test for determining if the break in procedure was followed.

Anyone who abuses a nice car like that without following proper break-in procedures) doesn’t deserve the car.

Sure, it makes sense.

Sexy mid-engine sports car with an American small block and manual transaxle? I guess it’s back to Panteras for me then.

Add to “No manual, no buy”....

Dude.  It was just a joke.  No need to bring his failure to pay his bills into it.

I found the SCG spokesperson ^

Honestly, I feel like the buyers of these cars would have more fun with a stripped/prepped Miata and a normal M3 instead of paying for the CS M3

Mercedes’ Formula One team is frustratingly good at everything.

It’s a cost savings thing.

You don’t even go here.

So the Z4/Supra only get the B58, but the X4 and the X3 get the S58 with like an extra hundred horsepower.  Because SUV’s need more power than sports cars I guess.

The timing of this is perfect. Last night my 10 year old enlightened me on his theory that every pit stop for Lightning McQueen was the equivalent of hand and foot transplant surgery, and he must be a tough guy.
