Default This section is dangerous

I would just like to say i was mainly a one section guy. Always in the LT1-LT4section. Sometimes I would venture out to the Computer tuning and one or two other sections. Recently I started coming into the drag racing section and it is evil. It has my mind all clouded up with thoughts of turning my only car which is street/strip into a no a/c, p/s, heater, air bags, bumper supports, rear seats, carpet padding, etc... car with a drag suspension that would make the car a nightmare to drive on the streets.

Every post on here is definitely a bad influence on me. I just thought I would share that with you guys.

I pray that I do not find a cheap car that I can use as my driver for fear of what my Z may turn in to.

Either way I can't get enough of this section.

Yup, and it happens slowly so you don't even realize it happening.

You will notice, after you come here all the clowns who talk but really know nothing about anything but yet will defend the point until the sun blows up.

Just dont equate current car's ET to car knowledge, becuase people either dont have the $$$ to do what they want, or other people bought the speed.

Unfortunately, there is no known cure.

LOL A combination of this section and the Nitrous or FI section can become very costly. Be careful!
