We don't want to be one of 'those' forums.
Second, this forum is about this mythical FT/R-86/S. Waiting in breathless anticipation for news of delays and hybridization. No one's going to be very happy if it gets tagged with a 'street-racing' reputation and becomes a heat-score before it's even out.
That's what's behind the negativity.
Like I said, if we keep it to legitimate (ie: track) 'kills' the
entire community that is attached to the thread and posts doesn't potentially get stuck with the Fast and Furious label.
