It did appear callous, but apology accepted nonetheless. However, this all is a silly argument to me because this season, with the amount of high speed tracks, people ought know which cars not to pick. If they dont, I dont see why we need to gift them transmissions so they can be more equal. We all have the opportunity to pick cars that work with these particular tracks. We shouldnt feel obligated to help folks who foolishly pick cars that have no chance merely because they picked them. For instance, Madmax and Dabney both picked Volvos this past season. I have no idea why with the amount of complicated sections on the courses we ran, but they did. We didnt decide to give them 20K extra at the start to even things out, did we? Did anyone honestly think the Volvos would show well? No, but as May says, "You brought the wrong car."
Proper car choice from everyone and we wouldnt need to discuss giving transmissions. Everyone should test cars for max speed to Sarthe, but we shouldnt have to tell them. Oh and one more thing to chew on. FC transmissions require tuning as well. Many folks here are passable tuners. I am not one of them. Even if I have an transmission, I have no idea what to do with it except slide the top speed bar and lengthen the final gear. So, what may be trying to make us equal, could create a greater void between casual players and folks with too much time on their hands.
Hopefully you can respect my thoughts. I realize we are on separate sides here and possibly ne'er the two shall meet, but I think if folks spend more time flippin their UCD to find the right cars to test, the whole transmission argument will be moot. Heck, I'll do it for anyone. On the weeknights, I can usually flip 200-300 cars a night. If you are after one car and your excuse is you didnt have time so you settled for a miata or MR2, let me know.
