Yes, I am serious. I have put aside serious money, and am willing to do serious work for this project. Don't you think that serious research taking into consideration serious numbers is prudent? Or would you prefer posts like "cool....awesome....wow.... in response to your performance impressions? This thread was started with a question about the SLC's performance, and the only real numbers I have seen here relate to other cars. Do you see a trend?
Actually, I didn't even consider possible responses to my post.
I was responding to a post from a contributing member of the forum about my personal experience. Experience from someone who has owned, built, and driven the cars the member listed in his post.
Since you brought it up though, I would think comments like:
was from a dig or a roll? location? tires? drivers (did they switch)? conditions? how many runs? etc might serve the forum better...
You know, discussion that would put context to the experience if someone cared to know more. Constructive dialogue. Constructive debate even.
What I didn't expect is some member lurking for 2 years having contributed nothing to the forum in his time here posting memories of his young adulthood car fantasies in an attempt to invalidate real world feedback.
Frankly, I could care less about convincing you of the performance potential of the SLC.
If you can't draw conclusions from the proven track performance, owner feedback, the fact that every build is different, or the sheer physics of the situation....then...mmmm...can't help you.
Hopefully once you are done doing your serious research, saving your serious money, and finishing your serious build, you will do some serious performance tests, with serious equipment, and enlighten all of us with your serious results.
