The NB is just a front that I am saving up $ for the P-car! But dammitt, all my wishlist mods for the NB are eating up the P-Car fund. I can always dream can't I?

Yup.. This is the first time I have ever been regulated on on any forum. If you want to see what I was grinning about Google "TT and M6 68" (No link means no problem right?)

The rule:
"In particular, do not joke about, post pictures of, or attempt to condone driving under the influence of a mind-controlling substance, street racing or the breaking of other laws. Linking to other sites that encourage illegal activities is also forbidden"

"Condone" and "encourage" are the key words, and I believe it's clear in my first post that I do not condone street racing. I was just immensely impressed at the performance of the Protomotive twin turbo 911 v.s. a BMW M6.

I dont street race, nor do I encourage it.
So... does that mean that posts relating to Gumball, or other races on public roads should probobly be removed too? Oh, yeah it's not illegal when it's taking place in other countries...
This community is not one that actively participates in street racing, so I think my post had little threat of influencing our members to break the law. I haven't seen anyone delete posts where members boast about leaving other cars in their dust at a red light?
:::Stepping off the soapbox now:::
I'm not upset about this, I just wanted to get my point across. I'm not trying to turn this into the equivilent of the "Boobies" debate. I am very respectful of this community and I would have liked to have a chance to modify my original post rather than just have it censored. PM me to tell me what I did wrong instead of responding in the thread maybe?
Oh well, moving on...there's more important things to rant about.

Back on topic of my love of Pcars - Here's some videos of the 997 GT2 on the Nordschleife aka Nürburgring:
