I can only imagine what you sound like in person, thank God for the internet.

I copied and pasted it into Word and did a grammar check and my pc locked up. Seriously, read your 2nd point above to your dog out loud, I bet he bites you in the nuts.

Yes, Paul again from multiple sites he is my lists number 1.

The Z to go after the Enzo numbers with a roots supercharger was the original post when guys were trying to figure out what the rumored GM surprise was.
Six months later the Z turned up at the ring with a raised hood .

Rosey:

Lets just look at one thing you posted:

I'm going to go the extra mile and try to help you.....
Here is what I think you are trying to say as I break it down:


You typed:

We would type:
2) Some of you guys know Tom and Steve, who have helped me with my car."



You then typed:

We would type:
They are the reason I'm celebrating, (by posting on every f'n forum) because they figured out my car.



You then typed:

We would type:
However, Tom and Steve are idiots and didn't actually help me.



So to put it all together, any 4th grade educated American would have written your statement as:

2) Some of you guys know Tom and Steve, who have helped me with my car. They are the reason I'm celebrating, (by posting on every f'n forum) because they figured out my car. However, Tom and Steve are idiots and didn't actually help me.


Is this what you tried to say because I think Tom and Steve want to tell you to

Cool Relative arguments only!

I don't have the time to rehash all this again as I have done before at another site, but, there seems to be three main types of responders to this post and for them:

3) Half Vettes speak for themselves.

-I also basically conceptualized the ZR-1/Enzo 4-years ago. Similar to my thinking having the fastest hot rod is impossible, but, having a car being able to play with a $200+k exotic is not.

Don't talk about your car that way!

You know an argument is, "I disagree because".

1.) what does that even mean? you know more than a GM engineer? your a ******* idiot

2.) who the **** is tom and steve? your on WORLDWIDE message board and you say 'tom and steve' like we should know who they are. again, ******* idiot.

3.) what is a half vette? ******* idiot.

your old c5 vette with a TT kit does NOT mean your car can 'play' with a 200k exotic. i LOVE vettes. but your car is a plastic, shitty engineered POS american car compared to a 200k+ exotic. different ballgame, and strapping on turbos doesnt make you even in the same ballpark. you are an idiot.

Ok, before I lock this thread a couple of points to the origianl poster. First, if you are going to get on this or any other message boards, then take the time to type up something that is intelligible and can be understood.

The posts I've read of yours including all the ones in this thread you've deleted are very hard to understand.

I'm glad you are ahppy with your car. Thats great.

As for why GM choose the gearing that it did for the C5, the C5 Z06, the C6, the C6 Z06, and the ZR1. If you look at each car, and what GM was trying to do along with many of the articles it actually explains the logic behind the gear selection by the GM engineers.

So, whatever question you have about gearing is already answered in the public domain if you'd take the time to look at it. Now, if you want to make assumptions, thats fine. But I think your assumptions (that I can decode from your cryptic post) are flat out wrong.
