Its really just a useless measure with the lower numbers meaning more streetable and the higher stages more race applicable stuff. I laugh when I hear people say that they're running a stage 3 turbo, stage 4 clutch. I'd just rather hear GT30R turbo, Exedy twin-disk clutch.
It's the one thing I think I can blame on video games, just like when racing online and some kid comes on asking if we can play a differant map....it's NOT Halo, it's Nürburgring, it's a track not a map and if you can't handle the track then get the fuck out
