We have some OK highway stuff too, just not as frequently. I'm a big fan of the stretch of I-10 between about Kerrville and Fort Stockton

Yeah, up in the hill country there are some nice roads. But still, being able to just roll out to MSR on any weekend was almost enough to keep me in Houston. Fortunately, my brother is still there, still a member, and has a E92 M3 for play.

Did you know that 1 out every 8 person in the entire US live in CA? Logic would suggest that at least 1 out 8 370Z's are in CA too. Probably more due to car culture and weather. Now many in CA do not care about CARB and find ways to skirt the system but a lot of people including my self would be way more likely to go FI if it was CARB Certified. Now I understand CARB certification is a PITA and the car does not have enough miles but being a business man and nowing the potential ROI of getting the CERT I would be paying someone to just drive the piss out of the car until it had the miles neccessary to get the Cert. As good as GTM is at engineering and product development sometimes they are missing the big picture. This is one of those cases. Saying that not enough miles on a car and having to pay $5K for the testing is preventing you from adding 1/8th to your potential market is crazy.

That means about 7/8ths of us don't have CARB to worry about

It's also humorous to see the fanboy's jump in defence of a company that they favor, because a member asks a legitimate question requesting and update or an explanation of sorts..

Now had this question come up in say a Stillen thread..

I don't care for the Stillen kit. I want to give GTM my money. I'm just asking WHEN they will be ready to take it.
