Nope that's not a lapping car. But the car literally was finished day before they left for Barber with no testing! Oh wait they tested! Lol!

YouTube - AM Performance 370Z Grand Am Race Car on the Street

It ran 3 days straight with no issues two weeks ago in 80 degree weather. With a lot more work on suspension and motor this past week. let's just see how they do at VIR Mustang boy.:happydance:

We'll see indeed! Trust me, I wish them success and want to see them do well just like everyone else here. But I've been a race fan long enough to know that it takes a long time for a startup team to start running up front in a competitive series!

Qualifying 19th in an untested car by a new team not indication of platform potential? Car was advancing in race before overheating issues. Just saying give the car a chance.

I never said it didn't have any potential. But you seem to think they are going to be right up at the front at the next race, which is extremely optimistic. I'm just trying to be more realistic. I don't expect them to be running up front and contending for the win in their second race out... that's just not typical for a new team/car in any competitive series, and the Continental Tire series is fairly competitive!

Point out once where I dismissed the car. I never did. I'm just being realistic here. This is a brand new operation for Christ's sake. It's going to take some time.

And as you should very well know, in professional racing the car is only half the battle. You've got to have the team. And a lot of luck! Hell, only about 75% of the time does the fastest car win a Sprint Cup race... if the racing gods are on your side you don't necessarily have to be the best that day to end up in victory lane. :D

You guys are going to need to stop with the civil disagreement here. We either need an all-out flame war, or we are going back to the derail by gheyness approach.

I'm down for the gayness.

You're always down with the gheyness

You're the one that wanted the back seat.

Whatever, it's well known I prefer the passenger seat.

That's not what you said last night. But whatever.

I wanted to do something special since you had been driving so much.

Because I work so hard to make money for this family and support all of your nursing school, which never seems to end I might add, I feel like I am entitled to spend time driving when I want to. I certainly don't want to spend it with you after a long days work. You can't even be bothered to make a nice meal for me once a week. One of these days, Dan... straight to the moon!
