At any rate, I LIKE hearing from people who know more about imports than I do. You know, voice of experience and all? I don't know what threads you're reading, but nine times out of ten I DON'T hear about the guy who's got a friend who's honda runs 9s. Normally I hear something along the lines of "The transfer case in those cars is prone to breakage, and they're a bitch to hook up off the line, but they can make decent power with just a boost controller and a turbo upgrade." etc.
Then obviously you havn't been hanging around here long enough. The general attitude around here is not "LS1s are teh roxorz!", the general attitude is "Got a cool story about street racing? Neat what happened?"

I never stated that the ls1 is king ****, its just that you could be in the middle of a good thread and it gets hijacked and thrown way off track. It is good to learn about the other cars out there, but I will go to their sites if I want to know about them...like I do. However I dont go there looking to try and make people look stupid. I just browse here and there keeping my stupid opinion to my self. If someone wants to post cold hard facts that are useful to people thats one thing, but opinion most of the time is just that...opinion.

So what are you talking about.
And try and drop the racial remarks. It's not clever.
I would retaliate, but I like America and most Americans so why would I try and insult them just to have a jab at you?

This is exactly the point I was getting at. I was reading a nice thread about how a race between an eclipse and a LS1 went...and then out of no where there was this reply from "Z06" that had no relevance to it in any way by saying stuff like " I destroy LS1's all the time!" or "I would put buslenghts on them with my EVO!" and what he is saying has nothing to do with the thread...all I was asking him was to keep his **** to himself....I'm reading about a race between a Eclipse and an LS1...I don't care who wins...I just don't like it when people take it off subject! (I am drawing some of his qoutes off other threads) Before you guys put up your posts try to figure out what is going on here...it actually involves a couple threads.

No I was meaning that the US and the UK have always been friends and allies. We have much in common with each other, which really isn't all that suprising when you consider the 13 original states (respresented as you know by the 13 stripes on the US flag) where founded by British colonists.
I like America, Americans, American culture and most of all American cars. I've spent some time in the States have travel thru much of the western US.
Have friends who live in the US.
However, the fact that some one is trying to pick a fight for no reason carries little weight with me. He can huff and puff all he likes, but why should I raise to it when there is no point?

<edit> Rest of post wasn't directed at you meent
History is complicated, but here's the quick and dirty version. England was a world power long before america was, and for a much longer period of time as well. America was really only recognized as a world power proper coming out of WWII (although an arguement can be made for post-WWI as well), and then only because of two things: Population and Natural resources. Prior to that time the best forign policy we had were bluffs like the monroe doctrine. Really, after the war of 1812 (which I might remind you the british were pretty merrily razeing washington DC until a hurricane showed up), England and the US put aside their differences and realized they had more in common than not. Like a hatred of the French. England had our back for a hundred years prior to us getting their back in the WWs, and that's why nobody messed with us up till that point, not because our military were such badasses in 1875 or something.
So if you're going to pick on a country instead of presenting logical, well-thought out arguements, at least don't pick on one of our best friends, ok?
Aston-martins rock btw.

Launching!
![Default](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I can beat any car on this thread. Ohhh wait was that ricer! My bad. LS1 and LS6 are God. Is that better?
In all reality, I think this site is awesome. There are more level headed people here rather than on the rsx/srt forums. I think for me, the main reason I am on this site while own an import is to learn and share information. I understand that the title "LS1tech" means LS1s are the main topic. I like to read stories about the LSx, and also like to share points and stories reguarding my car against the LSx. There are also many other people on this site that feel the same way I do and some aren't "ricers" but domestics as well.
