I think part of it is lazyness. People don't want to put the time in to be faster on their own. It takes a lot of time, patience and persistence. And like most of america...people don't want to wait for results...or for it to be hard. Let's take a pill to lose weight...instead of exercising. I believe the same thing applies to our scene.

Who can blame them with all the advertizments shoved down their throats. Horsepower gaurantees and whatnot. There's a difference between a product giving a 10hp increase, and an improved quarter mile time. People use these products as band aid's for their techinique. I believe you should have a solid technique...then reach out to these products to achieve your goal. Once you've hit the wall w/the amount you can push your car with your power level...then go up.
