I recently joined a 4th gen group on Facebook. There is a lot of trash on there, but I'm surprised at how many people are on there who track or auto-x their 4th gen. There's even someone who makes and sells front splitters for LT1 cars.

Should I be spreading the word? My feeling is if they end up being tools, they can always be booted. The more people talking about 4th gens (in a good way) the better.

Thoughts?

I haven't added a thing to the forum yet but I've certainly learned a lot from reading old threads and following discussions. It's hard to sort out whose opinion is educated and who is just regurgitating manufacturer's advertising material on the big forums. I get the impression that everyone here has actually raced their car and isn't just talking the talk.

Exactly. That is why I come here looking for any information with substance and real world proof/experience. No drama, just passionate backyard down to earth racers.

We collectively broke a lot of stuff in the early days....actually and figuratively. The older threads are stuffed with good information about what works and what broke. I forget just how much info is archived here, but there's a considerable amount. And I'm always up for sharing it with new members. I actually just built a new account 2 minutes ago. I certainly would like to see this place keep growing, but we've become an oddity on the internet (and none of us did the 5th/6th gen cars), so we are an archive of what's becoming vintage car info. lol. It's still a lot of fun. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I for one have a lot to learn, and am glad for the info. My Google-fu just isn't that good and so I find searching dificult. Wish there was more stickies for thirdgen info.
