Im just pointing out the big picture........I have a desire to put a twin turbo LSx in a toyota prius, WHY??????? because its kool, fun ,different,a challenge and smoking meatheads in a "green car" is gonna turn heads and make people talk!

When a car is boring and only goes from point A to point B it becomes robotic,bland and in essence has no soul.

You're not getting it so I'll spell it out for you. I was pointing out his hypocrisy by making a statement often made by those who dont mod cars; quite obviously this is not a view I share.

Get on the reading comprehension train.

Ah, entertaining thread. Fast trucks are a kick in the ***. Ive only had the joy of owning fast s-10s so far, but im in the market for a silvy and plan on building that up as well. People dont expect trucks to roll out. Much more entertaining kicking someones *** from a dig with **** piled in the back of a truck

Well, they race semi/hauler trucks there. So that statements not true.

I'm not sure I even understand your past 10 posts... What's your point

His point is: you misread post #3. His point is cars aren't just for going point A to B, just like trucks aren't just for towing. You missed the sarcasm.

They had the Silverado ZR2 concept at the Detroit Auto Show back in January. Looked pretty sweet, but I highly doubt it will ever make it to production.

I got it... I don't know that anyone on a performance car forum would actually say that they don't understand people that modify cars.
