Default TTriple Digitts has been busted pretty hard here for his HP claims...

...and he has continued to post in seemingly good faith about that and many other topics. I, for one, would like to suggest that the olive branch be offered and everyone lay off him.

If it's actually true and he has accomplished this awesome power, we'll all eat some crow when the time of revelation comes. If it's not true, we'll certainly never find out and we'll just sit around posting flames at 000 until the end of time, all to no good end.

As always, everyone is certainly free and welcome to disagree with me on this and it's all IMHO, of course. Just trying to make some peace.

Default As someone with 1.5 years of TT forum under his belt,

I stsill think that we have wasted enough page space on someone who is obviously,to me, fabricating his facts.

We have tolerated crap like that for longer, but those people were so much more entertaining than 000.

Default C'mon, the changer sits over the rear wheels. With 496 HP going to the rear's only >

there is going to be almost 4x the power going to the left rear than in a stock 225. The CD changers gonna take some serious collateral abuse! I was just trying to offer some helpful insight. ^^^^^

Default I agree with you to a point and can certainly sympathize

I'm just attempting to see if people might cut him some slack on posts that are clearly not controversial. It seems that he's now being targeted on every post he makes with some comment to his claims of awesome HP.

Don't get me wrong either, because I'm not trying to censor anyone. Everyone is certainly free to continue to post whatever his or her hearts desire and it won't trouble me one iota. Like I said, just trying to make peace and and everyone is welcome to do with my suggestion as they see fit.

Default OK, I guess I read your post with a sense of sarcasm that I inserted rather than you intended

Sorry about that.

Default Now why would you read a post of mine with a sense of sarcasm?

Which is, of course, a sarcastic comment!

But why not squeeze out 5 more bhp for an even 500?

Default I'm not defending his claims, just suggesting we cut him personally some slack...

particularly on non-controversial posts
