Funny debate. I agree more with Russ, especially since he really isnt speaking his opinion, he was just stating FACTS. The bottom line is, many people just dont like hearing FACTS, period. They get upset and bent out of shape, as they're rather be on a forum where people say "yeah man, fuck that shit.. fuck the police... fuck smog" and a bunch of other useless shit spewing out of their mouths.
However, I also agreed with Squidd.. laws are made by people, and designed to be changed over time. Some laws are for the better, some for the worse - but its never for one person, its always for the best of the majority. In this case, we're the minority. We're BARELY enjoying a sport that is dying, and in X amount of years.. most likely wont be allowed on public streets. If you ask me, I just think petrol cars in general will be too expensive to use - period. Our cars will be beautiful paperweights sitting in our garages, maybe getting an occasional track day from time to time.
The thing I did want to say, to Squidd especially.. is that I think its just absolutely pointless and stupid NOT to run a cat. I mean, theres really no significant reason to run it.. besides wanting that little extra amount of power. If you put ANY miles on your car, meaning.. even if its a car you take out on weekends.. its silly not to run it. Ever been to an underground parking lot and get stuck in traffic waiting for the ticket gate to open? Its not fun having to sit there idling behind OR even inside of a car with no cat. Its just poison.
Personally, I could care less if you do or dont run a cat.. I mean, it wont effect me. But the truth of the matter is, a high flow cat is cheap and easy solution. My SR passes everything but the visual, how hard is it to conform to that? Not hard, if you ask me...
