Hilo, you are impossible. For someone of above average intelligence, you sure have a hard time looking at the **** you spout off objectively.

Then WHY EVEN ARGUE that the visibility is better? Just say you don't give a **** about the rear visibility and move on...instead you had to try to find a way to defend it...realized you were wrong...then pulled the "IDC about that, anyway..." card.

If you call that above average intelligence then I'm ******* Einstein.

95% of the time he has no clue what he's talking about. Snake95 seems to be doing a wonderful job exposing him tho.

It's just my opinion, but I don't think he's unintelligent. He's extremely biased, which clouds his judgement and causes him to argue stupid points, most of the time to a fault. Like I said, that's just my opinion though, I've been wrong before...

I thought everyone knew that Hiho was the only one on here that has a street car. The rest of us just have race cars.

Thanks I think.....but you see that's the wonderful thing about objective opinions. There are different points of view. Which is why if you have noticed I mostly post facts......that's what ***** these guys up the most.

I'm not that biased. You defend 3v's......now that's biased.

Some may be....some may not be. But I assure you when I start my car on a 20~ day to either go to work or home then it's not a race car. I mean **** there are are on here arguing no wipers are street cars.....are you one of those?

No my car doesn't have wiper blades, the PCM mounts where the wiper motor was. What does that matter though? I owned my Trans Am for two years and never used the wipers. I've owned my 67 for 4 years and never used the wipers. I forgot though, by your rules if you have a daily driver that makes your toy a race car.

Does it suck being made to look like an ***?

You said visibility is better with the Camaro.

Objective third party, who owns both, comes in and says Camaro visibility blows and is worse.

You backpedal and suddenly we're discussing Kias because you are, AS PLAIN AS DAY, wrong...and you can't handle it.

I can make an illustration in comic-book squares if you need it explained further.

Let it sink in...

Lol, I'm biased towards 3V's because I point out facts about them? Haha, awesome. I've never once posted something false due to bias, I just don't completely disregard and hate them like everyone else. It's not a bad design, simple as that. You are arguing straight facts...which is hopeless.

I'll take irs anytime. Have you seen the way a vette leaves? Kinda hard to argue with this

Vette has the advantage of having the tranny right at the rear correct? I would think that extra rear weight would help out a little.... that and the huge tires they can throw under it.

Yeah that car has a rear mount 4L60E, I think.

Edit: Article says rear mount A4

You should know what it feels like looking like a ***. I can see out the 5th gens fine, that's all that matters to me. I really don't know what the big deal is. Maybe you guys that can't should try to look through the glass instead of at the glass. Performance of your cars seem to enforce that theory. I'm the said it was a stupid anyway......then you jump on that to try to make yourself look good. Nice try.

AAHHH I see. So then you do the same thing I do. ....point out the facts.

Yes it does....just part of the advantage of that platform. Although it does make it a pita to work on from what I hear.

The wiper blades really effect it's street manners too. It's crazy how it just became a wild untamed race car as soon as they came off.

Here, bud. I'll help clear it up, since I'm "a ***" I'll insert numbers in your post so you have a play-by-play of exactly what I'm pointing out.

1) How come you made a comment about visibility, looked at the pic I posted, STILL tried saying the visibility is better, then retreat back to your "I can see out of the 5th gen, that's all that matters" when someone else, completely uninvolved in our exchange, comes in and says the Camaro's visibility is worse? If "I see fine, that's all that matters to me" is all that mattered, why wouldn't you say that initially and drop it? Is your need to defend the bowtie against the Ford soooooo God'damn strong that you HAD to try to defend the indefensible? Are you really too proud to admit that it's worse in the ZL1? Why do you change the emphasis of the argument when you're proven dead-*** wrong?

2) lolwut?

3) I don't even know wtf you're trying to spit out here. Here's what you should have said. "Oh ****, you're right, the visibility is worse in the ZL1."

...everybody else is LYING about the visibility! It's all a conspiracy!

I'm done with this **** about visibility...so much effort just because you can't swallow your pride and admit you're wrong!
