I actually think I recognize you from the Grand Am board. Do you go by the same name? I do on there. Anyway I agree with you about the motor part. As long as it fast I'm all for it. I race in the SCCA in the IT category mainly and share a Spec Racer Ford during enduros. But being the owner of a tuning shop in Daytona beach, I see all types of hardcore guys come in. The there's no way a 4 banger would ever beat my V8. Meanwhile my Evo or FC RX-7 will stomp them out. And them I get the "I have a turbo Honda" guys "and I can beat any V8". That's why I love my DynoJet I renamed it the Lie Detector lol. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY HONDA ONLY MADE 175whp. ITS TURBO". Yea but dude it was a 1.5l single cam to begin with, be happy it made that lol. I see it all, and the F1 section on the Speed board reminds me of it. I build a lot of Gray market cars like Nissan R32-34 GT-R. We are contracted by a company that imports them. we put them together when their shipped to the US. They have to be 100% disassembled to legally import them. I got to build a Subaru 22b number 89/400 . I think it was the only one ever in the US. And something you would like. I got to put together the very last Spirit R ever made. It was a 2002. it's stamp number was the last one that was sold to the public. That went to a guy in Chicago when I finished it. The damn thing had 14 kilometers on it, 14. If your interested in any of those types of cars I could send you some links of the stuff I have built or some Grassroots motorsports articles. Anyway later homie.

In a way, I was agreeing with you and , while it was a tad sarcastic, it was not meant towards you. It has simply been my observation that there are people on these boards that like to complain. I, personally, don't care what engine is in the vehicles. As I am a fan of Grand-Am racing (as well as LMS, WRC, and anything else that goes fast), I don't even have objection to the supposed backmarker new teams. RBR wasn't a contender when they first rolled from the paddock, and everybody has to start somewhere

While I have not viewed the links that you offered, I'll certainly give them a view and look forward to giving my thoughts. If you were offended by my comment, I appologize. It was not intended toward you, merely those that are never happy and know it all-done it all.

Cheers.
