Default Too many retarted F-body owners

There needs to be an IQ test before you can own an F-body, because I have met TOO many people with our cars that just sounds retarted. They dont know what their car has, can do, or what other cars can do. They dont know how to drive thier cars, control their cars, shift thier cars, race thier cars, anything!

Sorry for the venting here, but i stand by my words. If your guna own a performance car, then for the love of God please know your car! And no our cars cant handle or stop quickly, so dont say they can! Unless you mod the hell out of them.

PS: Not all imports are ricers! Who doesnt love a fast, clean import!?!

wow didn't know you were born with all the knowledge you have now. Why not try and educate them so they are not stupid anymore? Everyone has to start somewhere. But ya I understand what your saying after awhile it gets annoying. I don't mind if they don't know much its the pointless mods they do.

Oh i try. Most of time i cant tho cus i ask them what they have and they give a drawn out vague answer. I know i wasnt born with knowledge, however I have never claimed to know something if i didnt.

Most of what has upset me is ignorance of imports. A lot of people think they are just junk 4 bangers that wont last. Then when i try to explain that some will smoke thier car they get defensive. How do you teach someone who doesnt want to be taught?!

make them feel comfortable. thats how they will be able to accept the info coming at them. But a lot has to do with them like you said. I try to just stay away from noobs. Imports are nice but you can't beat the torque and sound of a V8 hands down. I wouldn't mind owning a nice AWD turbo car but they are 2X as much as an fbody. Plus I am just way too big for a damn import lol. T-tops are also on my top favorites list

i think when most people think of imports they think of those crappy honda's with an over-sized exhaust that sounds like weed-wacker.

I know exactly what you mean. You should have to take some kind of common sense skills exam before you can buy a muscle car. I remember trying to a couple of Marines with an LS1 Camaro that street racing in down town Oceanside was a really BAD idea, and it was stupid to boot. They insisted that the cops "looked the other way" because they were Marines. if you have ever been to Oceanside, you know this is NOT the case.

set them up in a race with a turbo and/or engine swapped and gutted civic hatchback (like the ones you might find at a stadium parking lot dragstrip with horrible track prep).

Your post sounds retarded. I'm curious about how deep your knowledge base goes? Based on the mods listed in your sig, seems rather shallow.

Based on your brake & handling comment, compared to what?
