No, I just got bored with people who are glad that the car is underpowered and think they are expert engine builders to the point that they feel confident in voiding a warranty and spending 5 grand on a turbo build that may or may not produce the same performance gains as the manufacturer would (and with the same durability) just go get their own unique snowflake of a car, then bemoan anyone who wants to buy a manufacturer tuned car because if they want a fast one they should have built one themselves. Not even mentioning it's easier to make minor changes to a manufacturer tuned car to make it faster than start with a blank slate.
I'm not a builder. I'm a driver. I don't want to spend my weekends getting my hands dirty, and waste time I could spend driving it, because that somehow is supposed to complete the experience for me. We all have the friend with the tuner car that spends its time in the garage and sees the street only to light up its dashboard with error codes or blows its engine after one 1/4 mile attempt.
A track day just requires a tire swap, I don't need to be a self-proclaimed expert in engines to do that. And if I want to race it, I'll just make sure that there's a guy on our team that is as good of an engine guru as some of the guys in this thread claim to be.
I just hope he doesn't crash the car.
