anyone else find it frustrating when people refuse to listen to reason? however were not really off topic. its just fun that after almost 80 posts with real tech about trannys this kid comes in with his fast and furious bullcrap. i would assume hes 17 and taking an into level HS shop class and thinks hes an engine builder.
hey kid, ur fortunate that ur just too damned stupid to really get to me with ur posts. however yelling at you probably wouldnt have done any good either... again... the stupidity. its hard to connect with someone at your level.
alright paul walker... u just get back to tuning the launch points on autos in ur need for speed underground fantasyland. real racers use autos
and ur post about outpowering the track means 1. u have never been to a track and actually raced 2. you have no understanding of simple physics and friction, 3. you pulled the entire scenario right out of ur butt.

advise best taken for anyone and i do this myself cause you can never stop learning. sit back and listen. maybe there is knowledge there. maybe not but absorb it first and see if it makes any sense whatsoever and if it doesn't investigate it before making uneducated posts.

i can tell u exactly where hes getting it. lack of experience and trying to just think of a scenario. one of those "looks good on paper" situations. it would just be nice if he could stop for a second and realize it just doesnt really make any sense.

But that is ok you can keep saying I have no clue, but I will stand by my experience and knowledge.
I know exactly why you have chosen to attack me though, you keep trying to get people here thinking you are god, and when someone with real knowledge shows you up, you get pissed. Funny thing is if you would just shut up and listen you could learn a thing or two, but your ego won't allow for that.

LOLLOLOLOLOLOL. A am little older than 17 there son, and I have plenty of knowledge in dealing with real race cars, started working on drag cars about 23 years ago, moved on to NASCAR stuff about 5 years later, and have worked on 4 championship teams.

^^ he's still floating around on 3.8mustang
Well I learned something lol... but yeah, the wind was pretty bad, I guess pittsburgh had gusts at something like 67mph; in Blairsville I'd say we probably had something like 50mph gusts... the power went out in our area, but my apartment complex has backup generators
And now you're just making me feel like my car's slow
nope it still locks it out.
BTW how bad did you get hit by the wind last week. my power was out for 2 days. i'm not far from you. im in charleroi. your alot closer to keystone than me. maybe we can hook up this summer. i know a guy that lives around C III mall that has a procharger on his 97 and a turbo guy from greensburg. we need to make a mid atlantic V6 shootout at keystone. that would be alot of fun
