Spring 2008 Dyno Day - May 3rd @ DB Performance

[curt_gendron]

Curt, did you see where I said "exceptions"? For the most part, the MN-3/S crew does not associate with the DSMers...its been that way ever since I got into the scene back in 2000. In the conversations that I have had with 3/S owners, the majority of them look down on DSMers and want nothing to do with them. That is their choice and so be it I am not attacking you or saying anything about you personally so please don't think that or take my statements as such.

Here is a picture from 1999 with the "elitiest" 3/S owners hanging out with there lowly DSMer counterparts at Rock Falls:

Since MN 3/S is a very active club, with our own events, its hard to get them to also show up a more general Mitsu meet. Heck, its sometimes hard for me to get 5-10 3/Ses at a MN 3/S event these days. So getting a few of them to show up at a Mitsustyle meet is doing pretty good.

Everyone thinks there car is better than the "other" car. Thats just pride in your ride. But generalizing 3/S owners as elitiest is just dumb.

later,
Curt

You have your opinion, I have mine...its all good :) We'll settle this dispute over a burger eating contest at the dyno-day in a few week!

P.S. I love pearl white R/T TT's!
P.P.S. I saw a beautiful pearl yellow '94 or '95 R/T TT last night out in Minnetonka near 101 and 7.

If I weren't Autocrossing I'd show up and hang out. Wouldn't run my car though, no need to watch it make 300-317 HP, again.

And about 3/S'ers being elitiests, yeah I can see where the stament comes from. But I honestly think Curts statment about the 3/S group's own events is mostly the case. I hang out with the DSM'ers more than the 3/S'ers, because I have known the people longer.

BMW Owner :)

lol @ Peter

Just kidding dude, you definitely don't have the attitude about your M3, I just thought it was funny because you're one of the only BMW owners on the board, haha.

[A//// Guy]

Haha yea bmws are a superior car in all ways. So take that!

Oh well, I admit my car is slow, but its gets me from A to B. :P

They won't come to "DSMer" events for the most part; they are very exclusive and elitist (there are a few exceptions, but not many).

i'm not sure about that one^^...maybe around your area. and if it is true around the metro area that would be kinda sad how most tuners would think of it that way. i seriously doubt most 3/S owners would like to think that way. most teenagers have that mindset not us.

Wonder if that was board member Jaei Sun's stealth?


So anyone have any last minute modifications or something new for their Mitsu's this time around?

I am going to add an O2 housing, cone filter, and some other tweaks in preparation for the Dyno day.
