just listen to wtf you were saying 91civicZC, and Z28.

Do you really think car tuner shops will let out their "secret" specs to public? Even if it's their demo car at most they'll let out their spring rate and tire choice. Because if everything else is out of the bag there's no value in going to that tuner shop! They don't WANT you to know, that's why they exist and do the "tuning" for those with less expertise. This is not open source community we are talking about here. They tune cars for a living they keep their secrets in their bags. The most comprehensive mod specs that you can find are in Option magazines, I'm holding onto one right now I can read and understand every fucking word in it but, let's say there is a dissection of the Amuse S2300GT1 and I'm interested to share, I'm gonna have to scan a picture of it, translate it and type it all over RS. Even then the info in the magazine won't tell you why this car can do Tsukuba in 1'00" with such small power because that's called TRADE SECRET! Also I ain't paid to type it out and you didn't pay to buy that magazine I'm holding onto. I don't see why it is something you should see as "deserving"? Why don't you post up all the technical specs of your favorite POS Land Rover tuner truck if you have such an urge to share with everyone then?

Even if you pull out pages of the buttonwillows time attack there is no way the tuner shops (other than mopar, probably) would tell you exactly what the setup is about.

also people who posted here aren't paid, so you are lucky to get as much info as you already do. So grow some brains either you start posting cars with full specs yourself or stop fucking whining about it.

Also you should also understand that only a very very small fraction of people on RS actually participate in motorsports (especially when AutoX is now piss in the wind) and people are more interested in how the car looks like more so than how much bhp is it pulling out and how many Gs it can pull in a corner.

Where do you use more than 50bhp on a daily commute anyway!?
