Listed below are a couple of answers to general questions, so take your time to go through them if you like, before dropping us a line.
What is ModernRacer.com all about?
ModernRacer.com "officially" went online back in October 2001, with a mission to provide the most comprehensive information on cars that most auto enthusiasts would most likely be able to purchase in the United States - cars like the Subaru Impreza WRX or the Ford Focus SVT, or even the Chevy Corvette. Not everyone can afford a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, and this site is not about those overpriced toys. It's about the common working man's performance car - a car one can use as a weekend warrior or a daily commuter.
How accurate and complete is the information on this site?
This website compiles all possible technical and performance statistics from reliable sources, while making educated estimates when hard data is not available. The reviews are a combination of excerpts from expert reviews published in well-known magazines and consumer websites, and press information made available by car manufacturers, so our users can get an all-round, unbiased view of a particular car. This website is also one of the few sites that provides high-resolution pictures alongside detailed information about the car model. And users can also stay up-to-date on new and upcoming model releases. Plus, the most popular section seems to be our unique Extreme Driving section, copied by other websites from time to time, offering amateur enthusiasts the chance to learn a little about performance driving techniques.
How affordable is an "affordable" car supposed to be?
This largely depends on an individual's budget - a fast-food worker can spend less on a car than, say, the owner of a fast-food franchise outlet. However, the cars featured on the pages of this website have an arbitrary upper base price limit of around US $45,000, but this is subject to change at any time. Therefore, the current limit allows, say, the $43,000 Porsche Boxster to be listed here, but not the $50,000 Boxster S.
What's with all the pop-up advertisements?
The pop-up ads are a means for this site to pay its own way while keeping most of it free. If you would like more justification for the advertisements, or are wondering why you are receiving multiple pop-ups (for which we are not responsible), read about it here. If you would like to get rid of all the advertisements and gain access to more features for a small fee, read this. The advertisements help keep the main features of this website free for all. If you start blocking the ads, our ad revenues will fall and more features might become "pay-only."
Do you sell cars or car parts?
No, this website is not an e-commerce website, and therefore does not sell anything other than memberships to the ad-free version of this site. But links are provided throughout this site to external websites which offer car buying services, used car listings and auto parts online, as a service to our users.
