I agree with you that EVERY car that hits the track will eventually have problems. We are taking these cars to levels they were never intended on seeing. It's how these companies handle those problems, and how they present there findings and flaws....
Bingo you are correct, Jorge is meddling in a situation that he has no experience in.

I am just comparing the problems to the top competing teams and given the facts and situations, RA has had far less issues, and the least amount of major problems, Readers on here might think that they are having countless problems from reading his post.

There are 3 Boosted VQ teams currently competing in Time Attacks

Team A:Has run around 8 events with 1 motor failure and run 4-500 whp.
Team B:Has run about 20 events with 1 motor failure around 600-750whp
Team C:Admitidly ran 2 (x 2 cars) events at 4-500whp

Now Guess which teams are which...

That is great that his car is going to make 1000whp and be able to drive in a straight line for 10-12 seconds, I can't wait to see it

Actually your comaprison is a little off. You are basically saying the Jorge has no first hand knowledge of the VQ, and it's limitations. I can personally vouch for his knowledge and experience. Just because he isn't out racing the Time Attack series with you guys doesn't mean he doesn't know about it. Jorge has used and abused his Z (Before he went in for his upgrade), and I'm sure he knows a thing or two about racing....

EDIT* Never mind you aren't worth my argument. I still don't know why I get suckered in to arguing with a tool who doesn't know what he is talking about most of the time.

Good luck with your 1000whp 1/4 mile beast

Actually I never once said ANYTHING about quicksilver not having any knowledge about the VQ. I was comparing 2 scenarios. You had mentioned that competing regularly in time attack does not give you any better understanding of consistant road racing abuse on a motor over someone who doesn't track there car on a consistant basis (by track I mean road course/time attack not drag racing; not that there is anything wrong with drag racing). If this was not what you meant by your post then I apologize, I miss-understood what you said. I am sure quicksilver has a great understanding of the VQ and of racing and I am not questioning his understanding.

That’s about it.

FWIW – I’ve talked to Scott at a couple of events – he’s a good guy. I was considering having some work done and he went out of his way to dispel myths and bogus claims (something he didn’t really need to do)… I would not hesitate to take my car to him (however it’s a bit far and I have GTM and TS as closer alternatives – but RA would not be out of the question.)

Before you start bashing me about being an RA nuthugger or being a plant because of low post count like you did xxg35girlxx… I’ve been on the boards longer than many of you but like Samantha I have a G and post primarily on Driver… I know many people that have used several of the shops in So Cal as I have… RA is not the evil disaster many of you are implying. Most of you haven’t even dealt with them/Scott… much of this entire thread is simply forum drama.
