You are incorrect about "pros" not letting their parts get to the point of failing. They routinely do this so they know what the part can handle and what situation will expedite a failure.

Finally something we agree on

In a lot of situations you do not know all the factors that contribute to a part failing. The reason you "bother" is so you know exactly where it fails, how it fails and ALL the contributing factors for the failure

Again, not all pros check the internals of all parts, such as the ring and pinion, every time out. A lot of times a simple drain and metal check along with pulling the cover for a quick visual inspection is all that's done. I'll give you an example, we had a Grand Am team testing at our track. They tested on a Tuesday, pulled all fluids Tuesday night, visually inspected the car and loaded it Wednesday morning and took it to the West coast and raced it on Saturday. They didn't disassemble the whole car so they could check for every micro crack on every piece of the car. You are making a generalized statement on a subject you know very little about.

I only came back because there are some good people on here, and we have made some major improvements on this chassis within the last 12 months. I also have the advantage of being able to talk to the people that worked on this car in the SRT group and have amassed a huge amount of knowledge on this platform. I can confidently say that there are very few people that know more about this platform than I do. We abuse our car more in a month than most people will in the entire life of their car. I have no problem sharing what we have learned but it's people like you that cause people like me to not want to post on here. Are we a pro team with a million dollar budget? No, but I think the success we have at the track and the attention we get for having a Crossfire that pounds on Vetts and Porsches on their home turf speaks for itself. I don't know if you didn't get hugged enough as a kid or what exactly your problem is, but there is no reason to be a jackass constantly!
