Is it just me...?
or is every thread turning into an advertisement for some company? Someone can post a question about the C6, and then all of a sudden it becomes an advertisement for some dealer.
It is really getting out of control. Some of it even seems "staged". Someone will post, "how can I add HP for low money", then the advertisement begins....

I don't mind them advertising but now they are entering every post and turning it into a commercial. You can post a thread about driving your C6 cross country and then before you know it they make the thread into a commercial.
In the end, it will backfire and people will start posting and visiting the forum less and less.

Someone will post, "how can I add HP for low money?", and then the intelligent, experienced pros and the folks that have been there, done that show up with the answers that someone is looking for.
People aren't really looking for unfounded opinions like...
Guys at the track refer to those cars as "dyno queens". I've heard guys claim 500HP dyno runs but IF they run at the track, the car still runs 12's. At the track, it is about what the car REALLY runs, not HP numbers.
A car running fast vs a car that has HP claims, are sometimes world apart. One only needs to attend a car show and see displays of guys who boast of 600HP. When you ask them what the car runs in the 1/4 mile, they have no clue because they never ran it at the track. Hence the term, "dyno queens".
Real world requires taking it to the track for a lot of test and tuning. Not spinning on a bunch of rollers inside a shop on a dyno machine that can be manipulated by the programmer.
