Ask the average Bimmer guy what a cam is? A guy at work with an Audi A4 had to have his car towed because his accelerator was malfunctioning. Turns out the floormat was pushed up against the pedal. He thought he had a sudden acceleration problem. My point is there are poseurs in all classes. The real deals are out there.

Amen, yes they are and they are different from what we did at their age, also. Guys now know more about engine mapping than crankshaft tolerances, for instance.

The hard thing at anytime is finding something new..

I heard a guy (40ish) remarking about the dumb kids today that think stickers make cars go faster.

I wanted to say "your right they still do, just like your crane cams, holley, hooker, and K&N stickers did"

And at least were I live, usually when I see a vehicle driving wreckless and fast it is an old pick up with four different sized bald tires going way to fast and making way too much smoke from an engine that will only run excessively rich and full of oil.

Putting a wing on car must be the hardest thing for a car designer to do well. It is obviously done poorly in most aftermarket applications.

Today on the way back from Gatlinburg I saw a neon with an aluminum wing on backwards...so that it would lift the back of that car at speed. The front lip of the wing was higher than the back.

Ooops
