So......a long long time ago I spent a bunch of time here. And then I didn’t (long story)
Well I’m pretty much set on the idea I’m going to be autocrossing a 4th gen again. So what has changed? Some things I’ve found already: Tires are drastically more expensive Available “good” r compound options are even more limited Street prepared has some allowances I would have liked to have way back when The “newer cars” have taken over ESP Wheels have gone up in price. I think I only paid $400-450/wheel for CCW’s CAM C looks like a class that I’d probably run in “most” of the time just for the participation. What else has changed in 10 years LOL |

Internet slowness is a product of a few things: Everyone wants rampant tracking - they want to see what every user clicks on, what they like, how long they stay on a page. This means 1 or many more javascript libraries and other things load on a page. There are web pages that take longer to load because there is 2MB of scripts and trackers, when the actual HTML content is 200kb and would load instantly. Also, on forums like this there is a database backing it and they get rather big. LS1Tech has millions, maybe billions of posts, that have to get fetched and rendered. It's not negligible. Try a search for a generic term. Here on FFRAX its reasonably fast. LS1T is decidedly slower, again due to sheer volume.
I'd say that actually data now is easier to come by. So many people have had issues and solved them for me already! The trick is to search for them, and get the real right answer. Certainly there is more chaff than wheat to sort through on some topics. The amount of "data" we internet-enabled humans have to deal with grows every year, and yeah it's a problem to some extent. |
