    nah, i think it came off wrong.

    I was not taking a shot at you, i was making a joke, but i guess i forgot we cant do that.

    I know you ran/own date the guy that owns a shop in Atlanta.

    what about your drift car, i remember letting it rip on the dyno with no break in, or maybe that was Dans. What about Dans Supra?

    thats all, i was not talknig down to you

    Dan broke his 240 in on the dyno for time purposes. It doesn't really get driven on the street. It's a purpose built car. It would be pretty hard to get 500 miles on a freshly built drift only car. Same goes for the drag car. I assume that MOST people on here and even the OP aren't talking about an 8 sec drag only Supra or a 450 whp drift only Supra. In the case of DD cars, we suggest a street break in with a few steps involved. To be honest, I can't remember the specific steps. We did break in Dans' Supra in on the street when it was a DD. We broke in my Evo on the street. We also broke in the 240 back in the day when it was a DD. I know we had Ron Friday break his in on the street, etc.

    Like I said, I can't speak on the technicalities behind any of it. I just know what I hear and what I am told around the shop and or customers.

    We can have a civil conversation and you can joke all you want. I love jokes. I'm just not into be belittled by you or by anyone for that matter. Remember what I said last time we got into this - you aren't special. I don't take much shit from anyone. Thus my reputation that I am fully aware of.
    Val for president!
