Default So Youre not a Waxer, 1/4 miler or Auto Crosser...

Where do us guys that dont do either get classified? I love my Z06. I love modding it to get all the hp I can afford. I like driving it as close to its potential as the mountain back roads will allow. In addition, I like keeping it clean, but dont really like showing.

BUT, all that said, I dont drag race it, I dont take it to auto crosses, but Im not afraid of a few rock chips and using the car...

Anyone else feel like theyre in that gray area? What are we????

Me too.

Okay I do go to the drag strip sometimes for fun. However I'm not modding my car for that purpose.

Great thread, and great conclusion. I consider myself a life long enthusiast. OK, I've occasionally raced, but not for a long time.

I'm a hardcore street racer, don'cha know?, I live my life 1/4 of a mile at a time.

I take on all and every car, import, sedan, Toyota Camry V6's, Audi A4's, no problem and all are welcome to try me.

I high-beam any car in the passing lane and when they move over, I'll roll alongside of them then punch it, leave them in the dust . . .

Enthusiast is a great word isnt it? On the flip side, an auto crosser, waxer or 1/4 miler could say the same...
