Default Bench Racing Theory

I have done this and so has nearly every person on this board, unless they have a supremely fast car that they KNOW will smoke everyone or mostly everyone. Sometimes its an interesting read to compare 2 or more cars to see if you can handle one before you get embarassed. Some people like multiple points of view. I am simply suggesting that maybe a Bench Racing or Who would win? section be made so these stories dont take up space on the Street race section. What do you think?

+1... The "Who Would Win" or "W3" posts as I like to call them have been getting pretty bad recently.

Good! That place needs to be cut back a little, If we had "Bench Racing" and "Is this car worth it" forums the newbie section would be alot better off. IMHO

Sounds like a good idea. Sometimes I want to read a good kill story and I have to filter through all the "who would win" threads. All the "who would win" threads need their own section because theres so damn many of them. And you never have to worry about moving it to the kill section because a "who would win" thread never results in an actual race.

Tony or Big John Stud need to approve it.

Might not be too bad of an idea.

FWIW, I think it's a capital idea. I don't even browse that section anymore because of all the BS posts.
