That pic is the cherry on top of this e-**** mega battle.
To the DSM guy with 35psi, if you are willing to street race at all, you have no right to judge anyone elses driving.
I street race myself, but I never go around saying that, if I had them, that I was worried about my wife and kid on the street because so and so was driving poorly.
It is hypocritical.

The magazine times for the GT500 border on disgusting. 4.4-4.7 0-60 and 12.7-13.0 in the 1/4 mile. I have read that similar to the GT Supercar the cars are tuned really conservative. They seem to really open up once they get some miles on them or with a tune.

I think i look at these threads just to see that pic. 
To the DSM guy, I assumed that with your need to prove your car you wouldn't turn down a streetrace. Your current attitude, not that I'm making judgements, just seems to be the right kind to never back down from a race.
is that wrong?
