I'll try and be concise.

I like both CC and FRRAX. What I don't like about FRRAX is the lack of technical posts that CC contains. However, I also do not care for the excessive use of the F word and avatars over at CC-hey I like to read the forums at work between projects. I've read (and UNDERSTAND) the drive to win, how to make your car handle, and tune to win and more than once too. I'm hoping to get through Engineer to Win and the Milliken books this winter. I'm also planning on purchasing suspension trends analyzer this fall-maybe we can turn up the tech here. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I'm a mechanical engineering major so I love this stuff.

And yes Jon you're right the fundamentals are the same regardless of the make. I feel as if we miss some of the bigger picture by only reading what's here.

Rob, I want to get the software to.

Maybe we could go in together so the cost isn't so damn expensive.

If your interested give me a shout.

The only difference is, Rob, (and Jon HAS agreed many times) that alot of the tech just doesn't apply to us. For the most part. In looking at some of the discussions about our suspension, those guys are working REALLY HARD to get close to us in stock form. Our geometry is just that much better.

Problem is alot of F-body owners don't understand WHY. And that is where/how some folks struggle to find room for improvements.




I already got the smack down for multi posting so...sorry.

I have been lurking in this thread, laughing as happily as anyone.
Being a friend of Mitch (can I say that Mitch? No one here really knows me, so it shouldn't mar your following), I can honestly say that the guys I have met at the track have been top notch people, that I would fight the battles of hell for. I dropped all my old friends for my new track buddies, and haven't missed them at all.

But I have one response to the lack of technical threads.

START ONE!

If you build it, it will come.
Well... it's built... now it's just a matter of waiting till it comes. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif)

My two cents....

I've been a member of CC.com for a long time... I've never received a "smackdown." Why not? Because, I stay out of the political discussions in GD, and I search for answers before asking questions in the technical forums. It was quite a while before they even discovered the fact that I'm female. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Don't get me wrong; I can layeth the smack down with the best of them if you rub me the wrong way, but basically, think of CC.com as the internet version of a hardcore biker bar -- you aren't just going to waltz in and say, "hi." You are either going to act like you belong right off, or you will get your butt handed to you.

From my perspective, those who feel that CC.com is about nothing more than overuse of the "f" word and calling everyone an "assclown" is not even looking at the tech on that site. General Discussion is where most of the "attitude" and attacks occur. But then again, you've got just shy of 4000 members, most of whom are all alpha male personalities. Of course it's going to be a bunch of head butting, and if you can't take it, well, so be it. I know a lot of the guys on their personally, and, well, yeah, they will say the exact same things to your face. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

In conclusion, if you don't like it, well, you know what's coming next.....
