cars are for driving, and i think its a shame when an awesome car, is not driven flat out. and you can really only do that, at a track.
remember playing paintball? its not the gun someone is shooting that makes them dangerous on the field, its the talent behind that gun. same exact thing in the car world. the talent behind the wheel is what never goes out of style. give the guy a splatmaster or a ego, hes gonna be dangerous on the field, same thing of a good driver.
horsepower goes out of style when you get passed on the road course by someone with half the horsepower. just like your awesome custom one of one ego goes out of style when you get gogged in a gunfight by a pumper.
i dont get why this is such a tough concept for car folks, and esp folks who are paintball players too. its not insulting to someone's nice gun to say that talent wins paintballs games and not how nice your guns is, why do car folks, who also play paintball, get butthurt when you say talent wins car races, not what car you built?Last edited by cockerpunk; 02-05-2016, 09:38 AM."because every vengeful cop with a lesbian daughter, is having a bad day, and looking for someone to blame"Comment

Just like there are many forms of paintball playing and tinkering there is the same with cars.
Horsepower does matter, just like balls per second matter. Even if your not going to use 30+ bps or 700+ hp there's no denying the awesome engineering achievement to do it reliably. I mean its no surprise most automag guys would appreciate this aspect of cars based on the markers we tune.
After fast cars I got into sportbikes for a long time. It's easy for me to say car people are stupid because mine accelerates, corners, and stops quicker then all yours, but it's about the total package. Just because you appreciate one type of car or motorsport doesn't mean its better then another type.
What's your opinion on drag racing? If you think road racing is superior or takes more skill I would disagree. Its just different skills.Comment

idk where you get that i think building high powered cars is stupid. every car i own is anywhere from fairly, to heavily modified, and power is a key part of that. i love lurkers 500+ rwhp e30, awesome car.
i just think the best investment of time and money is on seat time at HPDEs. just like recommending to someone to buy a mid end setup, and use the rest of the money to actually play paintball is better advice than blowing all your money on a top of the line setup. the skills you learn throwing cars around, even slower ones, will translate with you, and grow through your life, just like learning to play paintball, with a lower end setup will translate to when you go buy something super high end. i simply give folks getting into cars the same advice, buy something RWD, manual, and light weight, and go learn to drive it. not go out and buy a ripper geo and shoot it in your backyard.
the plan for the spyder is simple, finish the chassis off this year (double adjustable koni race coilovers, LSD transaxle), and then next year 350rwhp. in a (in SSM trim with driver) 1950lbs car ... thats a ****ing rocket. i have no problem with and LOVE high power cars. one of my favorite cars ever to drive is my friends v8 swapped 944, its a riot. horsepower is great, but its not the be-all end all of cars. driving them is the be-all end-all of cars. like actually playing paintball is the point of paintball, not collecting and building guns."because every vengeful cop with a lesbian daughter, is having a bad day, and looking for someone to blame"Comment
