Most people simply here the words "2G DSM" and the first thing that comes out there mouth is "watch out for crankwalk" and I am willing to bet none of them know what CW is nor how to diagnose it. On top of that a very small amount of cars actually suffer from this, but like mentioned above it is an easy scape goat for anything that happens to a 7 bolt motor.
Ask anyone that claims to have had a 7 bolt crankwalk and ask them what the crank end play was and 95% of them will have no idea, yet they have magically diagnosed the problem as crankwalk.

I once beat an eclipse convertible in my 4.0L jeep with 190k miles. Fart can and all.
Asked another eclipse to race and he said "I only race for pinks." A GSX with carbon fiber hood, fart can, altezzas, and purple wire loom all over the engine bay. Someone else did all of the "engine and suspension work" to it, come to find it it was Mitsubitchy when they put the car together. Yep, stock.
I did race one in my Z, after putting buslengths on him at half throttle he said he was going home to get his motorcycle. An old 600. Told him to get it, and he declined.

Yeah. I was laughing pretty hard after I put about a half mile on him.
Better keep your eye on her.

Most DSMs with rice on them are slow. Most that look very clean and very stock are decent/fast. Its true of most cars actually. I see so many Altezza-ed V6 Mustangs around here....
Sadly, most DSMers who run around on the street and race a alot fall into the Altezza catagory.

A select few in a crowd will be judged as the crowd. Happens all the time. If your so against getting ragged on a LS1 site go to your DSM site. Maybe there you will be treated like the god you wish to be. But here, you will remain one of the crowd and be judged as rice.
Thank you and drive thru.
And by the way, I am sure I will be beat by rice in the future, but until that happens, me and my stock LS1 will talk as much **** as I can back up.

^He has been here longer than you. You dont speak for the whole site. Sounds like your an indvidual who wishes to be though of as the whole group. Ironic really.
I dont see much ragging in here personally.
And just from the tone, you seem more butt-hurt than anyone else.

We're all LS1 enthusiasts here, we just dont all own one.
And if you think someone with a stock LS1 can talk **** to me... Hell, thats just funny as ****.

Then it must seem that your posts got me confused. But the statment is the same... MOST are built shitty, by silly little highschool ricers. I understand there are quick ones out there, but it seems like you guys were getting in a pissing contest over nothing. My wife this, your wife that. Bigfoot, cockroach!... Cmon.
Cars, in my book, go right along with women and politics. To those that are passionate they cause just about as many fights.
If you all were just razzing eachother in good fun, then my bad.
As for wanting to be judged as the whole group. It happens to just about all of us. Wanting it or not. I am definately not one of the norm. I am an LS1 Newb, here learning what I can do to make my car faster... All I said is if you want people to bow to your DSM or whatever your nic is for it, then you would be better off on a different website.
And yes, stock I can talk ****. You know why, because in my opinion I would rather push my WS6 home than drive a gokart.
