Right, and maybe I should pull the turbo off too, because my car is too fast to drive on the street.

Maybe you should, because it sounds like you drive like an irresponsible jackass and you don't even care or realize it.

Since I street race my R compounds are OK

Markp

Ya, well, I think you'll really blend in nicely with the Miata.net crowd and that fancy *** STS Escort "Race" car of yours. After all, you are the auto-x champion, on your block, or in your club... or whatever.

Like I said, build a car for nationals, then go talk smack. I have built more cars for competition than you have driven in. I have wins in NASA for endurance racing, SCCA Regional classes, and IDRC. So if you want to keep talking smack, why don't you throw out some of your impressive victories out there. Have you even driven a race car (no, not your mom's busted *** escort.)

I can't tell whether you're serious or not

Already resorting to insulting my driving and car huh? These things both have absolutely nothing to do with this thread so I'm not going to respond to them and get drug down into your pointless argument.

You think it's OK to drive recklessly on the street. I don't. You're wrong, I'm right. Have a nice day.

man... if Philip were still running the show you would probably be banned for attempting to e-thug The Don MarkP.

1967cutlass

How am I e-thugging him? I wasn't the one that initially resorted to insults. If anyone should be banned it's him for advocating reckless driving. It's one thing to speed sometimes, but something else entirely for someone with supposed racing experience to suggest that it's safe to drive at 10/10 on the street.

Markp

I never said it was safe to drive 10/10ths on the street. I was suggesting 8/10ths. Look, I don't expect you to know this, but I didn't just fall off the turnip truck. I have been around for a while.

I am actually a pretty nice guy, I'd still buy you a beer (and I would still think you are wrong about R-compounds on the street.)

That's too ******' priceless... The Don... LMAO, come on now, I am just another guy with a Miata and a HP addiction.

Cutlass, this is not miata.net. You won't get banned for posting or talking about street racing, reckless driving, and whatever other dangerous stuff you wanna talk about so chill out. To each their own opinion.

1967cutlass

You're telling me to chill out? lol

Bryce

iTrader: (24)

Meh, I don't mean to say that, just that Mark is allowed to talk about, even encourage reckless driving.

1967cutlass

If that's what you were suggesting then your argument was totally lost on me

Anyway this is obviously going nowhere, I'm finished with this argument.

1967cutlass

We can do the agree to disagree thing now

Agreed

i say go with some r-compounds if you want. i have never drove a car with r-compunds. but i have track tires on my bike (pirelli super corsa pros) and the difference between street tires is amazing. i will NEVER go back to a standard street tire now

Markp

LOL, sometimes I even drive recklessly... but usually not on the street, even with R-Compounds on the car.

Bryantaylor, with R-compounds on a bike, wouldn't you have to worry about flattening them out if you do more highway miles than actual curvy roads?

I said ATTEMPTING TO, you weren't being very successful.

Let me put it this way... when I mention your username to any of my miata owning friends they recognize it. I can't say the same about folks with 10X as many posts as you.
