Cobb R35 GTR - Modified Tuner Shootout
#102
Philthy is pulling the classic bully being the victim defense, as he always does. then calls in the mods to punish everyone else. but he forgets that they read everything in context. And even the posts I removed for a clean read are available in his quotes if the mods care. but I took it upon myself before philthy cried to remove them...
- he insulted BC first, obviously showing his intent in the thread, and I can only imagine the PMs and AIM conversations with his cohorts
- he would not simply answer a direct question, resulting in the question being repeated many times
- he brought up my avatar trying to deflect the questions
- he continued to pursue dragging BC through the mud to prove some point he has against them/performance factory/et al. until he saw no one was buying into the bashing anymore.
The "Not-It" Excuse ~ This apology is characterized by the apologizer blaming something (or someone) else for the situation. These apologies do not even attempt to use the words "I'm sorry," and sound something like "Well, you know, it is not my fault..." This type of apology is commonly heard when dealing with someone who was supposed to provide goods or services.

Wow... this thread blew up while I was away the rest of the day.
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.

The first VQ shop car from my shop holds multiple world records both on the dyno and the track (as well as a history on other platforms that includes numerous magazine cover features, lots of 9 second cars, winning show cars, etc. etc.). So I think I'm swinging on the right nuts.

This is not even mentioning throwing in a completely different differential immediately after the dyno session and having ZERO testing with said diff.
Pete, and the BC crew are already above the haters by taking the former show car and competing in events. 99% of the people talking **** have never, and will never, run competitively in any time trial events. You're just internet haters and nay sayers trying to rain on peoples parades for your own self e-gratification rather than supporting the people evolving, testing new parts, and representing the Nissan/Infiniti community.

Here's the sober truth for you, and if it hurts, so be it:
There are other cars here on this board that were way more deserving of being invited to this tuner challenge who would have performed superior and done a much better job of representing what the VQ platform is capable of. Philthy and XKR are a couple of guys (off the top of my head) who have G's that would IMO have performed significantly better.

You and your troll friends find it compelling to bash Pete and the BC Racing Suspension team, but why? Is it out of jealousy? Spite? Rage, that you can't perform on that level?

You have no reason to comment other than a selfish need to prove that you were right (not saying you are, just that you want to be). That is the sober truth.

Yeah the car didn't perform as well as we would of liked, there are reasons why... obviously that doesn't matter, at the end of the day we didn't perform well that weekend. Nobody is going to win everytime, the best we can do is work on the car and get ready for the next event and go out and perform. The point is, this useless trash talking on here isn't going to help anybody so why even start it?

The thread is about the Cobb GTR and the Modified Shootout... BC was part of the event and got called out for their crappy showing... 13.1 1/4 with 600+whp - 5 seconds off of the Full-Race prepped STREET STI, pure hysteria...
You guy keep saying that the BC car is a street car and has limited time on the track...? The STI had NEVER been to a track before this event! It's a daily driver, no cage, full interior, ac, etc... Yes it's AWD, but it also has over 100WHP less than the BC car, BTW they ran an 11.3 on street tires - they didn't put on the slicks until after they bought a set from Crawford after their car had a breakdown...
