@Gen, this!! I get a lot of crap from people for running a spring setup instead of coilovers for track, or running a high performance street tire instead of a stickier R-compound tire for autox.
Anytime I meet someone new, who does not track their twin, I get the "oh, it's not boosted" comment with rolled eyes or a grunt, when FI isn't my goal. Show guys hate that I don't run expensive, over-the-top heavy stanced wheels. Can't win with any group :p |

That was an incredibly good read. I agree wholeheartedly and thoroughly detest the level of elitism that has emerged in the enthusiast world.
Hats off to you MCM.

Well at the end of the day, people are going to have their preferences, and that applies to all choices:
- stock vs. stance - track vs. show - power vs. handling - FR-S vs. Focus ST - BRZ vs. Camry/minivan - FR-S vs. BRZ - etc. Personally I think it's great that people have their opinions, and it's even fine if they want to explain why they think a particular option is better than the other. Debate is good -- it's interesting, it can sway people's opinions, and it can broaden everyone's perspectives on a subject. The important thing is to present your opinions with an open mind, respecting other people's choices and preferences.

I agree that me being pretty much stock (except for a few cosmetic enhancements) makes me feel judged at the car meets I have been too (with other very heavily modified vehicles). Especially when I get comments like "oh your car is automatic, why would you do that".

I bought the BRZ as a cheaper version of my Cayman R.

That's why I hate the majority of car meets. Isn't the point to meet like-minded people, who love their cars and share the same passions? I also love how people feel a need to force their brand loyalties down everyone's throat just to prove why one car is better than another.
