. Pushing it on backroads is silly. Fast, good handling cars can go 45mph or MORE on almost all corners. Pushing the limits means that sometimes you will exceed the limits. That means you'll go off the road and do some damage.
If he can't get the auto-x right then he'll go to the track and screw it up there only at higher speeds.

actually turbojerk I'm done with all pushing of limits until I can get some real experience. I like moderately spirited driving quite a bit, and I was definately not doing that when I spun that time.
Devon, I'm sorry to hear that you need to take a shot at me saying I haven't learned anything. Actually I sucked much worse than i do now at autocross 2 years ago when i started. So enjoy your pride, I don't need it.

Business is for the mentally anorexic. They decide they don't want to bite off more than they can chew so they take a nibble while engineers are in an eating competition. :P Well, that's one way of looking at it at least. The other way is that we love suffering so much that we give up social lives and personality.
Side note: It's 2 AM and I have class in 6 hours... This is my 8th hour straight studying now and I've got another 1-2 to go because I've got a quiz tomorrow so have pity on me for that among your other reasons for doing so.

No one is attacking you more than you attacked "non-auto-xers" at the begining of the thread. I felt that you were doing it in good fun and I was returning in kind.
Funny out of all the "spirited" driving I've done I've never ended up in a ditch, even in the snow...
Where are you going to get this "real" experience? I don't think you'll get it from anywhere unless you are pushing the limits. If you can't do it on the auto-x track then I don't think the next option is to do it at HIGHER speeds on a road course.

In no way am I taking shots at you. It is ammusing that you of all people are taking this personally (or so it seems). We have discussed this before in person. As you push others so I push you.
You are taking this all way to seriously. This is a limitation of mere words that you cannot experiece the emotional content behind them.
If you feel so strongly about what I said call me. Pm's will not be adequate.

This is starting to sound like an INTERVENTION........................
If you are doing for the process not results you have exactly what you wanted.
If you are doing it for results the proven way, over and over and over is EMS, exhaust manifold & big *** turbo. Not quite all that simple but +400 HP is common.
If you do in fact reinvent the wheel you will be a rich man.
