With a good mix of lurking around listing to the endless stream of inane drivel based on internet forum group-think vs empirical data.
You guys left out constant judgement and trash talking about who's better than who!
This is my new favorite thread. Oh, the evoX talk is cool too :)
Dave, what will you have planned for long-term maintenance on the engine, trans, etc then? The kind of numbers you are talking about are going to be murderous on bearings, gears, and axles.

He'll blow another engine, claim Mitsu is shit b/c it can only handle 4x the factory output, talk about buying a Vette....then come back with a new engine and 900whp ;)

At least the man is consistent. That has to count for something.

I've talked to several people about tearing into my engine around 20k miles to check on bearings. I think I will drop the oil pan at the end of this season for a bearing check, if they look like shit I will asses further. I'd like to pull the motor myself this next time around if I need to, so we will see how that goes too.
Gears/axles/drivetrain etc will all be fix it when it breaks in my book. I haven't seen enough data showing anything worth upgrading before hand is worth it. The X trans and drivetrain seem awesome. But when stuff breaks I will probably send mine off to Jack's. I'll also probably put a mechanical diff in the rear if that goes too.

You know me too well :)

Cruises = 5-6 good solid hours of awesome driving, racing, eating, BSing, then get wasted and have awesome stories to tell.
Auto-X = stand there and watch other people drive for 6 hours, drive for 8 minutes, stand there for 6 more hours, drive for 8 minutes. Go home sunburned.
I've never been to a 12 hr auto-x, where do I sign up?
5-6 solid hours of awesome driving?
LMAO, you need to tell all those guys that are doing road racing they are doing it wrong for all those HPDE days then, fuck a couple hundred bucks just $10 and a mitsustyle cruise!
The real reason he won't go is that cruises are fun and Brown only likes to be cranky! At an AutoX he can stand around and bitch with other guys about the guys leading the pack being cheaters, etc so he will be in heaven! ;)

Gee idk, every single auto x that's not a test and tune?
If you would just come on a cruise you would see why they are the funnest events of the year. Instead of just talking some crazy shit that doesn't make any sense.
