I completely agree with this, i was on cz28 for along time and past few years it has become crap. I only go on there to search the classifeds every once in awhile. Thats about all i think its good for. I feel this is becoming slowly the same. There used to be alot of big builders on here and lots of build theads but its now dying off. I have yet to check out yellowbullet but i think if its better then this i might start putting my time there then i here. I do ask some basic questions here and there but it just seems this forum is starting to pile up with more bad then good.

So what would be considered "Hard Core"? I just have a little street car
any thing that can 60ft in the 1.3x's or quicker. you should be required to produce a time slip and video before you can have access.

I agree unless you run 10.xxx or faster with proof you cant post. But you can read and learn. Altho a lot of guys running fast are not always to quick to spill their "secrets"

Boooooo I wouldn't be able to post yet

Guess I'm not hardcore ...unless I cheat and post my bike slip LOL.

*edit* Depends on the car too, 10s with nitrous isn't hardcore at all to me IMO. I could have hit my stock shortblock build with a 125 shot and ran 10s all day, and it wasn't anything special.

I'll tell anyone what parts I run, getting a combo dialed in is the big secret.

this.

settings for suspension, tune and numerous other nuances make a big difference. Kinda like one and a half PSI off on one of the back tires slowed the car down a bit on the short end but on the big end somehow it picked up a little more.
