I don't pretend to track my car. i am building my car to track, never said I have actually full on tracked it. If I recall, Toan never posted a reply to my tuners topic because he knows that my tuner is credible with what he posted, there was no argument to what he posted.
I don't know where you built up this super ego on scionlife about how you think you're such a knowledgeable racer and have a sweet race car but maybe I should attend a few autoX's and then I will feel the same too (sarcasm). I'm sure I speak for many when I say you're just like a typical honda owner who thinks there car is the sh*t because you've tracked it, and what not, and you think you know everything, when you don't. You are probably one of the reasons that make scion owners look bad.

Your recollection is off. As I recall there was no need to respond to what your tuner said, as the truth was revealed that your car was not making 365wtq @ 8 psi like everyone told you. You tuner came on and said it spiked at 18lbs of boost. So, why would anyone need to reply to that?
I'm not even going to bother commenting on that last paragraph....I'm to busy laughing at it.

Seriously man, get some experience under your belt. Do some racing, change out your own parts on your car, and get dirty with it. Then you can graduate out of Noob class.
And calling CarbonXE stupid because he tried teaching you something....seriously...you should open your eyes and ears and learn something from people like him. Spend a little time learning about how stuff works instead of making it look pretty, then you will get a little more respect from the people in the F/I section like CarbonXE, ACE, Myself, and pretty much everyone you ____ed off when you tried to call everyone stupid for telling you that you were not making 365wtq @ 8lbs of boost.....(including MrC from PTuning, as well as Toan).

Guys/gals that spend 95% of their time in the F/I section gaining knowledge about the tC and it's capabilities are pretty hardcore. Not many over there care about D&G door panels, pink RPF1 wheels and Pink Roll cages on a car that spends most of it's time sitting in a parking lot waiting for trophies.
That's usually for the "show car" crowd people who much rather like the IDEA / Concept of the build rather than if it's on the track putting those parts to use or not. NO WAY IN HELL I would have purchased the wing off of Chris Rado's car....because I thought it looked cool and only drove my car on the street. I NEEDED his wing, not wanted it. Two different things. It looks agreesive sure...but looks are a side benefit.

It wasn't even claiming 365wtq on 8psi, it was the fact that he tried to prove that adding meth magically adds tons of power, which it doesn't. That's why he tried to use that 240 article to prove his point, which I instantly debunked. Meth is great, but it's not going to give you +100wtq lmao.
No doubt. I actually have that mag too..
DSport though > all others.

Ain't that the truth. DSport is so poorly written that I've actually called them up and pointed out multiple spelling mistakes and horrifyingly bad grammar choices to them before. Neither one of those things should EVER escape their editing department before being printed. Their literary abilities make me question if they were raised on the internet or actually attended primary school. Their tech is usually solid, but honestly it's hard to read without wanting to cry.

Oh heck no. DSport > SS all day everyday. Not only does it have the DVD's, but when they talk about the cars, they don't just talk about the aesthetics on it. They usually post the power the car is making and their mag is heavily focused on actually TECH stuff. They do a lot of the racing and driving themselves. Something you don't find in other mags, as those dudes are more or less just "writers" rather than car guys who get dirty. I 100% would take a dude who can't exactly write a pretty paragraph, but can jump under my hood and tell me what's wrong and what can make it better, than some dude who can tell a great story, but goes home and sits on the couch eating Frito's driving a soccer mom van.
