A lot of new experience in a 7 second vehicle.

In Fulton's case, having been there for a good while in the 7s, what is Fulton really gaining/proving by this deal? Makes you wonder sometimes.

Kind of like the Tom Nell/Herb Adams guys showing up (for one race) at Lime Rock and doing ok (until the Pontiac engine had issues) vs the Ford and Chevy Guys battling it out for the Trans Am Championship for many races with one of them naturally taking the crown.

Tom,
After 25000 posts you still do not understand why and how someone is stepping up their program! Very sad.

Haven't saw the boards lit up with mumbers though. I have a vid of my daily GTO too.

Glad the heads are working for you.

I think Tom is one of those that just likes to hear himself talk.

What does 25000 posts helping people (on the majority of them) have to do with a 'measuring contest' at Norwalk, Stan? Sounds like an attack because sadly you could not come up with anything better.

You are just so transparent.

Well Thank you Very Much for the nice compliment, Stan.

Transparency, as used in science, ENGINEERING, business, the humanities and in other social contexts, implies OPENNESS, COMMUNICATION, and ACCOUNTABILITY.

Transparency is operating in such a way that it is easy for others to see what actions are performed.

https://www.google.com/search?q=bein...utf-8&oe=utf-8

Quote by others in the link below:

"Being transparent is a very good trait, one of the best in my opinion."

"It means that you show everybody yourself without holding back, and you're willing to be truthful and real with everybody."

"People who aren't transparent, are sneaky, secretive, and normally not liked as well."
(so that would fit some on this board, for sure, you know who you are, don't you).

https://answers.yahoo.com/question/i...5135439AAP3aWs

Again, Thanks Stan, When you made that post I know that is exactly what you were thinking when you posted that compliment.
It really helps to research those words beforehand.

Tom V.

Tom,
Yes, transparent can be a very good, but it can also be a very bad. Judging by some posts following one of my posts, I believe that others have seen what I have seen.

What I have seen Stan, in a whole bunch of people who really do not have a clue how real engineering works, come to the forum just to socialize, cast aspersions (make a rude and insulting remark), on people who actually do know how engineering works, in general.

These people have no "defense" for their "lack of performance" in a given area over years of time so they attack at every opportunity the messenger who is asking the questions.

I rarely follow your posts (unless they are directed at me) as they seem to rely on outdated information that has been found to have serious engineering errors.

I also notice that you have a history of switching sides (as in the Mike Leech Dyno testing thread), when it fits your agenda.

So in this case, I took your attack and replied with a compliment. But you could not let it go so you posted another shot.

So again, Stan, why don't you go play somewhere else, vs against me, as your performance in the sparing contests (as well as your associates performance) is sorely lacking.

Tom V.

Tom,
How can I switch sides? I do not have a side and just reply based on what is posted. What side are you on?

The rest of that #$%^&**(()))(*&&^%$, I will just ignore as this back and forth is going nowhere.

Stan

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
