I think it's more about one group or sub group saying unwarranted putdowns to other groups than racing or who is the fastest. I don't have any urge to walk up to someone and tell them their car is crap, even if I don't agree with their choices, but sadly some guys are eager to do just that. About 3 different times I have had GN guys walk up to me at car meets and insult my car and me to my face unprovoked, one of them even keyed my car in front of me with a smartass look on his face because he didn't like that I put an SBC in instead of a turbov6 in my n/a Regal. When I used to go to the turbo Buick forums (because there weren't n/a Regal forums), I mainly would get flip answers or putdowns, had to go to Cutlass, Monte Carlo, and F body sites to get real info and advice.
