haha, zach...i don't think jon mentioned once about his his car and saying it was better or faster than yours. .
and another note, the only real difference between building and buying is that which you stated. you built it, some buy it....the quality of work differs from each person and everyone build differs from others. just bc you build it doesn't mean its any faster or slower than anyone else. if i went out and bought a 8 second 1/4 miles car(spinning at 80, lol) then does that mean you will be faster just bc you built your 10 second car????
EDITED FOR CORRECTNESS!
and me and jon dont race
WE JUST MAKE SURE OUR SUSPENSION IS ON POINT TO MAKE SURE WE DONT FEEL POTHOLES AND SPEED BUMPS
, he just drives in circles. lol.
james, sean, you, and maybe a few others are the
race freaks 
. everyone has their different taste, and different hobbies.

Those words do not fall in my dictionary. I have raced twice in the last 2 years and It wasnt a ballz to the wall race to the end the track. It was showing my
amazing skillz 
as a driver of how consistent I was and knew my car and its potential.

Because if that was the case my del sol would not be a candidate for a ballz to the wallz race.

AND ALL MY RACING IS DONE LEGAL NOW AND FOREVER WILL BE!
