tech is geared more towards hardcore performance and racing where CF seems to attract more people that just like to enjoy their car for what it is.

I have been a member of tech since it spun off from ls1.com

For anything technical, I check there first and foremost.

If you bruise easily, it's not a friendly site.

most of them drive p.o.s's eh? Guess you live in a fantasy land where your car is untouchable right? It's that attitude more than anything that predisposes that general crowd to bash on the typical 'vette guy.

To a lot of the gearheads, it only matters what hardware you got under the exterior.
If it involves going fast, they've already done it before you've come up with it.

To many know it all punk kids over there. There are a lot of guys that know their stuff and are very helpful, but there is nothing worse that some little turd running his mouth and doesn't have a clue. I see it too often there and it is annoying.

I frequent both sites. The more info and ideas for me the better. I think LS1tech looks down on this forum because over there it's all about performance, while over here, it's alot more about cosmetics. I want it all, extreme performance and great looks.

HAHA,

Tony Whatley bought a Viper! Thats funny!

I agree, I used to moderate on LS1Tech.com, but then it was in the beginning couple of years and it realy was just serious tech talk. I have not been over there in a couple of years so good luck.

Sounds alot like AOL car chat. I used to hang out there and then the kids came with their "900hp vipers" and 10 sec Hondas so it was SO LONG- I don't need that crap!
