I agree, but I remember racing in the early 90's and there was still setups floating about and were still easily obtainable. for most though, they want to be competitive and know that they can buy the likes of a B4 slap a known setup on there and the car will be there or there abouts, some just don't have the time or inclination to change and try things either.

Just an observation that i made, which, in the end, i think is a big reason that racers aren't buying it.
