We don't get much respect and it is nice to surprisse a few every once in a while.
As far as attitude goes perhapps the moderator should read back and see the remarks from the Mustang owner who apparantly is unbeaten :o
Newbies always get flamed on, I don't mind the heat. Just be honest don't sandbag your car, that's lame.

Sleepers are great, I own a car that qualifies as a sleeper if you don't know what a DSM is, and as it turns out a surprising number of people don't. But unless it's a genuinely fast car as well as a sleeper, don't go around picking fights. A 13 second car won't get you far these days.
