From my perspective, I see a defensive representative of PF (Black Guy) and lot of members from Florida or nearby, as well as known PF customers ganging up on Philthy in this thread. Performance Sacktory is in full effect.
Bottom line: The BC car underperformed horribly and sounded like sh*t on the dyno. Now we're hearing excuses that the car had worn tires and was setup with lots of negative camber for time attack. That negative camber didn't seem to help it much against the competition in the road course or autocross events. It still performed lack luster.
When a controversial car that your shop had involvement in performs poorly against the competition... Blame it on the tires and shoot the messenger.

I agree !!! The gang is out.
I consider this thread to be part 2.....the first threat was the bash job of Forged blaming them for things going wrong in the first even....even though the car was out of FP hand for over 6 months...and many hands have touched it after that.
If I were Scott...I would have made damn sure that things are in order for the next event. Tires are a weak excuse... did the car sit spinning at the line for 2 seconds? I have seen cars with less hp roll off the line to save the diff and get better numbers. So once again....Does the car suck or does the driver suck....or in this case...is it both??
Jorge pointed out the sound of the car on the dyno up top....and it does sound like crap!!
Philthy his a different way of posting.....but you cant cover the truth about the way the car performed by jumping on Philthy. Its a pitty we cant blame Forged Performance for this mess also....Scott is on his own on this one.
If you all keep making all these excuses...I will start calling you Dil !! Inside joke.
BTW Philthy.....That suspension set up on that GTR...was that for track use only or was it for street and track? Please say street and track.....look at the nose dive and *** rise on that GTR

We forgot our good tires, because of the 3 day rush, and short notice to get to Arizona, from florida. Thats not a lame excuse, im just stating another fact. We had crazy amounts of traction issues. Another fact, not a lame excuse. The car underperformed. We're not afraid to say it. For the 3 days, we worked on brakes, and air ducts for the brakes. And in the rush of prepping the car, and leaving at 2 am for our 30+ hour drive, we left 4 brand new R888's in the shop, not realizing until we were in Texas. Oh well, and who knows how the car wouldve performed with better tire. It may have still underperformed. All Performance Factory did was tune the vehicle, thats it, so im not just "blaming it on the tires and shooting the messenger". Im just trying to give the **** talkers a better understand. And I dont believe I see any Performance Factory customers in this thread. The car did well at the red line time attack, and im sure it'll hold its own. The car isnt a race car yet, unlike its competition. And this is BC's first season like I stated earlier. Live and learn, everyone makes rookie mistakes. So continue the name calling (sacktory), and downing of a new competitor trying to find its way into the racing scene.
Maybe Pete might not be aware....but I am damn sure Scott is.....if you are doing a seasonal event....you start working on the car for the next even the minute you get back from the first event. I know for a fact the Pete and Scott had plans to run this event and knew the date in advance.
