Seriously though...I like the advertisement on Tin Indian's website better:

"Home of the quickest/fastest N/A Pontiac forged crankshaft!"

I would guess this is designed to sell more forged crankshafts...otherwise why would anyone care? You could substitute just about anything for "forged crankshaft".

"The worlds FASTEST naturally aspirated Pontiac...7.37 @ 179 MPH"

Actually no...Scott Rex has the worlds fastest, and it's 6 MPH faster. Oh yeah, it's also in a less aerodynamic and much heavier door car than that dragster. The QUICKEST would be more accurate, but not by much.

After reading these boards for almost 10 years, the Pontiac community in general has a lot of fastest/quickest self proclaimed titles. What makes them any different?

EXACTLY. SO your the quickest and fastest. Just means you all had more funding to throw at it. Put Doogie Howser behind the wheel of John Forces car and it will still go fast.

Just another KRE bashing thread.

Unless your car can out run someone or make MORE HP then someone, I would not criticize anyone. Way TOO many ARMCHAIR (do nothing) Quarterbacks on the board.

Lets just ALL get along and HELP "OUR" Pontiac Community grow.

Surely you're not talking about Langer, are you? He did start the thread, and his car has seen more track time than yours has seen trailer time. Same goes for the Kauffman's and Butler's too...John has seen more track time than BOTH COMBINED. Let the fur fly! Is it Friday yet?!

Langers car speaks for itself and anyone who’s into Pontiac performance knows and respects the performance he and his car has achieved. For him to come on this board and start such a chicken sh!t thread was a bit in poor taste. Just my .02.

Default Armchair Quarterbacks!

Brian,
First off, I'm pretty sure Langer can speak for himself, he doesn't need you too baby sit for him.

Second, I've been racing since 1974, that's 34 years off seat time in my race cars............. Thank You very much

Third, it was not aimed at him necessarily. I guess his post was just bad timing, that's all. Sure didn't take long for certain people too get stupid.

Forth, KRE's ad is very old, I guess it needs to be updated but then anyone who looks at the Pontiac Magazines would know that.
