I think it's great that kids and adults too, have this forum to ask questions and better yet, they are questions about American cars, not turboed imports or those f*%$en sewer pipe mufflers.
Anymore, hardcore is getting in and out of my car without hurting my back after a 70 hour work week. My heap is not the fastest but I'm the one that put the torque converter in it, put the shift kit in it, installed the cam, lashed the roller rockers and plumbed the nitrous kit. All with help, from the fine people on this forum and for that, I thank each and everyone of you that replied to not just my questions but others as well.
Hardcore, hardcore is the guy with 3 kids, a wife, morgage, medical bills and still has the need for a few extra ponies so he works a little more OT, making sure his family doesn't go without. Or the student that is working two part time jobs trying buy a CC306 cam that everyone says is **** on the streets without steep gears and a 4000 stall.
Well said. I'm the guy with 4 kids and no wife......plus all that other stuff. LOL

THIS.....I know it's been asked for repeatedly. I don't get it. Regions have their own. We are going to need it even more when this new "LT1" LS based motor comes out.


Alright, I know everyone probably hates that I quoted and replied to so many posts, but I had to take this chance to catch up on the whole thread. Some very good points in here. I won't even comment on some parts of it though. No use adding to any of that.

Hm... All this from a thread I started when I was a little drunk

If there was a "hardcore" forum where **God forbid** information was exchanged to better the platform and the bashers and nuthuggers sat on their hands, I think some members would be more involved. Less posters with more advanced setups and knowledge, and more viewers that can learn from the information posted without all of the unnecessary bullshit.

The state of lt1 forums has sucked for the last few years. I just do my own thing now, i try to take everything on the internet with a grain of salt.

Everybody expects a level of respect wherever they go. So Tony and faster "hardcore" guys don't post, what makes you think they are "demanding attention"? The junk you say is attention ***** deluxe, congrats.

Guaranteed you are the one who is the clueless moron. Five thousand posts in ten years? What is wrong with you?
No, the problem lies with you whining about me stepping on the toes of some of your buddies and you considering them "everybody." It's total crap, but not surprising from one who feels us "commoners" should bow to your holiness...
Challenge? Stop trying to act so cool all the time, we get it, you're tight.

You're done so by golly I better be done. Do you feel you must control everything? Of course you're done because you know what stupid **** you are trying to claim. Again, you want to lamely carry on and splatter how I am the bad guy? Before you start in on your smear campaign I'd suggest doing some research, Senator.

Remember your old user title? Guess you missed the point, again.
