I do think an introduction is in order here to some of us younger PFF guys!! I can't tell from cardealers intro if he's just having fun with us, or having a little tirade!
If it's the latter, I do think it's a bit overstated to totally put Cliff's forum down for the 20% of posts that do seem to be more of a pissing match in the wind, than sharing experiences and passion for the fiero. (can't argue that) But I can honestly say, that the majority of my LS4 engine build swap has been totally positive and informing for both the PFF community and myself. 80% of the forum is still awesome, otherwise it wouldn't be the most visited fiero forum in the world. (I'm totally guessing here, of course!)
If, on the other hand, your having a bit of fun...can someone catch me up on your background? It's clear from all the accolades that you've gotten, you must be one a hell of a builder! Do tell!

Ive started 2 new fiero builds and thought I would come here again and maybe be apart of this community but it looks way too dangerous.
I could get shot at if some of the people here knew what I was really building. So if it matters and to keep from being killed my project has:
7 cylinders- with a turbo, nitrous, and a supercharger, auto and standard trans, it cost $37.55 for the swap and it get 100 miles to the gallon and will be driven everyday on half gas and half water and runs 9.90s in the 1/4 with full exhaust and street tires.........(just joking if you cant tell)
But really I should be doing some shake down runs in mid May on one of the cars (if my personal problems dont hold me back) in Kennendale (Ft.Worth) Texas, and then some real runs at the Motorplex in Ennis after that. So if some of the localish fiero racers want to join in for a little friendly wagering and racing let me know........Big money or just for grins and giggles dont matter I just would like to line up with some of the other performance enhanced (fast) fieros.........
On a side note- should Archie read this,
I know I may have only purchased 1 or 2 items from you a long time ago and dont really know you, I feel I should say -dont let these guys get to you. Even though I have been out of fieros for a while I never left the car/racing scene I have encounterd alot your true loyal fans and customers and all are very proud of the products that you sold them. From what little I read in some of the posts on here it really saddens me to see all of the trashing that has happened to you and so many of the people that choose to use your products. I know you will be around for a long time to come and continue to be succesfull, I can only hope that some of these people starting this nonsense will mature to a level that they may become as successful as you.
And on another side note-------- Hugh- my friend you havnt called in a long time....... I know Im a hard one to reach, so just send me or post some pics of car and engine. I heard it was completly Bad-A$$......................

Welcome back man, good to see you. Or at least READ you.
The Forum's not that bad, there's a small group of people who've got nothing better to do than sling mud at another, otherwise happy, group of people. They can't contribute anything positive, so they have to make themselves feel better by slinging mud. Maybe they'll figure out that their approach isn't what most of the members are interested in.
Anyway, give me a call sometime & we'll BS about the new projects going on.

Actually, it's just that now there's an "other" camp that comes here, starts crap, then goes over to the other place telling other people how much crap there is here (while the only crap comes from them).

if this is true, why is it these "crap" threads are all started by the "loyal pff'ers" then? I think we all seem to forget about the age old rule of "it takes 2 to tango".

ROFLMAO, only this kid is stupid enough to post that here.
Actually I'm just quoting this before he can wise up & edit it out.

O yes, I am that stupid!
good call "quoting it up", I am obviously retarded and would retract a very basic comment.

Nuff said.
