It's not assuming when you already know the answer
Ron and I drive our shit with the intention of breaking it, not the hopes that it doesn't.

No g force meter but I got a burnt bumper and for some reason on my drag radials and a clutch drop I couldn't pull better than a 2.0 but I think that was due to moist track and high 30 degree ambient temps in the spring along with no drag suspension whatsoever and terrible driving. Didn't mean I wasn't giving her hell


Now does Shaolin reach apologies?

[Shaolin Crane]

Not this Shaolin

I don't drive with the intention of breaking something, I just have faith that nothing will.

My best 60' in the Cobra has been a 1.713. That was with a 6000 rpm launch on my M/T ET Street slicks.

Oh I drive shit to break it to know what I need to do next.

With the intention of breaking things? That's like saying, "I love coming to a stop and shitting away money and time."

If something breaks then I fix it and upgrade if possible.

[Vettezuki]

That's sensible enough. Build to common knowledge, nobody is really doing anything all that unique or extreme here, then replace/upgrade as needed.

As a marketing major I get that you must continue to improve and move forward or you are willing to take a step back. I get that. But why focus on making it faster when a vast majority do not push it to the limits? Why not spend budget on better materials for the interior? No one questions they perform, not even spiteful magazines, but the first thing they bag on is calling it plastic fantastic. I could stand behind the car so much more than I do if they made it a well rounded and complete car. I get that it's my opinion, but why? Why not step up the game where you are constantly hounded?

Because the old slow driving men buy them because they are the best, not because they intend to use them.

Its like someone who buys a 32 gig phone who has 7 songs on their iTunes. They have the money so they want the best, even though theyll never push its capability. But if it wasnt the best, they wouldnt buy it.

GM doesnt give a flying fuck how the cars will be driven, they care about the reviews it will get, so they can sell more of them.

Were you burning the clutch to do that? Even though it sucks for your clutch, I hear thats the best way to launch.
