Chuck is one of my good friends from back home and I browse this board from time to time.
First off I think it's really rediculous that anyone with a FWD P.O.S. is talking smack about someone with a supercar. A skyline is a supercar plain and simple. It handles very well, brakes very well, and has plenty of power. You're hating on him because he has something you will never have. It's really uncalled for, just be happy for him and start saving your money. Maybe you can buy a car that is a real supercar, not some car that you have to modify to hell and back and will still never be as good as what Chuck or some of the other memebers here have.
Secondly, Street racing is really foolish. Chuck is mature enough to know this and doesn't participate in this stuff. We've all done it from time to time and i used to be the biggest punkass out there. But there comes a point where you realize it's not worth it. Thankfully for me I realzied it before I ever got caught or killed someone. I'm a good driver to be honest, I know what I'm doing and I can prove it on a track. I've got a ways to go to be where I want to be but at least I'm going about it the right way. You may be a great driver and you may have a great car. Do yourself a favor and go to the ddragstrip or an auto-x or a trackday and prove it to yourself and everyone else. Get concrete numbers because on the street there are far too many variables.
Third, That MR2 sucked.
Fourth, Chuck's skyline is going down when we finally face off at Sebring.
Fifth, just take what i am saying as you will. He's a great guy who happens to have a great car. He's had several cars in the past and I know a lot of you can learn a lot from him. Just give him a break, he's fortunate be happy for him.

P.S. Before you think I hate honda people, you should think twice. Some of the most grassroots racers i know are on Hondatech and race in the honda challenge series. One of my best friends is a honda maniac and owns an 86 Si that is in the process of having a BUILT B16a put in. Honda people can be good but those are the real racers who are still using a poor platform to race in but whatever floats your boat. I respect them nonetheless.
