I don't think that was a particularly negative statement and it certainly wasn't any kind of personal attack.

You asked for the pros and cons and that was one.

A lot of people new to the hobby invest in things that will not gain performance or respect.
Respect in the form of "there's a guy who built a nice car."

You don't want people to think you're driving a poser type of car so why invest in equipment that will make it look or sound so?

Interesting part about all this is, I like the sounds of the gear drive making close to, but not quite blower type noises and hearing one on what sounds to be a totally stock engine makes me wonder.

As far as learning from people about sharing information positively, perhaps so.

I've written a lot of stuff on different boards and if you do a little research you'll find I'm a positive person and don't talk down to people.
(Look for an article on this board titled, "Got Time." and maybe you'll see what I mean.)

Even so, I'm not gonna refrain from tossing out a con opinion now and then.
It's not a personal shot at you and try not to take it that way.
