i agree there, for sure. But this generation has a whole lot more lazy, and a whole lot less respect for rules. They'd rather bolt a turbo on a stock car and go fast, than build a stocker.

Chad you are the type of person that paid my rent back in the days. We never raced a car that wasn't sure they could beat us. Out of 100 or so decent buck races we lost 3. And we were far from the fastest car.
I proved how easy it was to get a turbo car to run. Even I made it go fast.
It is the biggest bang for the buck. And that's why they are stupid? Years ago people had junkyards to scrounge for parts. FLASH!!! They still do, but you ain't going to find a 60's musclecar in them. You find Neons, Hondas Etc.
If you think this generation is dumb. In my generation I made HP while almost everyone else made love (the flower generation)

Art: Back in the day, I would street race my stocker out on Long Island. I would have either the M&H street tires or 9" slicks and tiny headers, the first words out of the other racer was " are you going to race with those small tires?" . I knew at that point that they didn't stand a chance. I'd get the break and they were done fore!

Casey. That's the point I'm trying to make. This Generation doesn't have a patent on stupid. If given the chance some of them would gravitate towards stk/ss. Not a lot but enough to replace us. Now there is no chance for that.

Art, the difference isn't about whose generation is "stupider". We are all "stupid" at one point or another. I like to think that our generation wanted to learn from its mistakes and make what we had into a better deal but that takes time and a lot of trial and error. The next generation wants "instant gratification". They don't or won't take the time to figure out how to do something. They want someone to hand it to them "right now" or they don't need it. Go to your local track on a friday night.

Billy for the most part you are right. But we took weeks at the track to properly tune a car.
Now they can do it in a couple of hours on a chassis dyno.

I agree1000% with this statement. Todays generation is mostly (not all) a bunch of know it alls. They dont respect anyone or anything. If I talked the way to older people or parents like some do today I would have been handed my azz in a hand basket. At lot of younger people on here are good, eager to learn, they work hard and have been brought up right by good parents (Just one Example: Bobby Warrens sons).

Terry did you ever hear the phrase. Turn on, Tune in, Drop out?
I'm sure all our parents were happy and pleased.

NEWS FLASH ART. I built my best friend's low 8 sec drag radial car. Its a turbo fox body. the only thing you would have done was lost money to me. I'm more and more convinced that you have completely lost your mind. If there was a DEMAND for imports in stock/ss then maybe you'd see some.
