just cause some one has more of an open mind about cars doesnt mean they are stupid. its the close minded people that are in fact the stupid ones.

When V8's have been commonly running those times for years, and while fast, it's hardly out of the ordinary or rare.

What you just dont get is that nobody worth a damn is saying that on here. I never did anyway. I have pointed out how other cars can compete with the LS1. Nobody on here for any length of time is saying that a AWD 2L is a beter all out drag/roll racing platform than an LS1. What people are saying is that it can compete. And it can. If thats too much, ignore it. Nobody had a problem with accurate assesment of the competition in the past.

Seriously, look at the threads, where the **** to do you see all these people supposedly saying AWD is the best drag setup and such? I can think of one person who got on here like a week ago.

I love how pissed the fanboys are at me, to the point of spouting off when I'm not even talking to them. Read my posts. Show me an instance where Im saying the LS1 is bad. I can recall off the top of my head saying it beats out the 3.5 VQ motor all around. I can recall plenty like that. I can recall saying that the SS is a better road course platform than the S2000. I can recall trying to explain to an LS1 owner why the LS1 is probably the best circa 12K used car to start with for performance. (He disagreed LOL) But when I disagree with these morons who make stupid claims who dont even say what they drive or if their car is stock (evading the question a lot actually), all they can do is pull out the insults. I love it. I wonder what they'll do when I have an LS1 and still disagree with their BS. I got called a ricer troll by some doushebag who says that the main reason people get LS1 powered cars is for the looks first and performance second. (Didnt realize the LS6 manifold looked so much better than a V6 one ) Some guy who got his *** handed to him regarding his stupid statements calls my information BS when I post links to it. If thinking the looks of a F-Body are more important than its performance is not rice, then I guess we all need to settle on a definition of rice. Because thats pretty much the exact definition of it to me. Same for ignoring fact and spouting BS.

Theres plenty of fanboy trolling in here. And hell, this whole flamewar thing is about the most exciting thing going, since the RACE! thread is dead due to rain, all the huge goliath vs goliath threads dont happen, and some fanboy newbies are asking if cars they dont really have can beat cars that dont really exist

But that only lasted a few months until I started getting modded, a couple pulls and they wouldnt look my way anymore. But anyways cant we all just get along most are obviously car people or we wouldnt be on these board at all hours of the day and night *rant off*
No, being a "true car person" doesn't mean you have to respect every car. In fact you may only like certain types of cars, yet you are still an enthusiast. I consider myself a "true car person", but I will never, ever give any respect to a riced-out primered Civic hatch.

Why?? Because no matter how fast it may be, at the end of the day, its still a riced-out primered piece of **** Civic. Its not all about speed, its about having a nice car to start with and then making it faster.

You guys are incredibly retarded. I raced an STi in my friends ws6 1999 automatic with borla exhaust from about a 45-50 mph roll and i only got him by about a car, and the STi didnt even have exhaust. This is the same day I completely owned an LT1.

Yep, having a nice car that looks good definitely wins races.

You know Sparetire, sometimes I think people are being too harsh when they call you a troll and all kinds of stuff, because you can frequently bring a good arguement to the table. However you are constantly ranting about how much everyone is such a fanboy.

There have been a lot of people, import enthusiasts especially (not that it makes a difference) who came on this board with the wrong attitude, but cleaned up their act VERY quick and now everyone for the most part likes when they post reliable and believable information in a thread. However youve been here for quite some time and cant seem to adapt, everything you post turns into a pointless debate. It seems your really succeptable to getting sucked into bs debates, or maybe you just enjoy it. Regardless, it's really starting to get old.

Im not trying to flame you, Im just saying maybe if you didn't constantly make a big deal of the small stuff, it wouldn't be so hard to get your point across.

Since when do "weak" t/a's run 13.4 @ 106 mph through the 1/4 mile. It's an automatic as well. I guess everyone's car is weak then. Actually now that I think about it, you drive a weak *** car. LT1's are a ******* joke. Even my piece of **** L98 own LT1's..In case you haven't realized it, LT1's are yesteryear's news and nobody even gives a **** about them anymore. Even my buddy in a Mazda MX6 laughs his *** off about LT1s.

Way to prove your point. Nothing like mindlessly spouting off and insulting a whole community of cars. There are LT1s that will rape anything you got. Also, whats your buddy got to laugh about? He's driving a god damn Mazda MX6.

I didn't say that. I merely stated that making a piece of **** car fast is pointless, because at the end of the day its still an ugly piece of ****. I'd rather have a nice looking car thats still quick than a fast car thats cheap and ugly and makes people laugh.

And thats fine... that is your opinion. To some people performance is more important than looks, and plus, its easier to fool people whiled driving around in a primered pos. People have made a few bucks doing that. Looks are subjective anyway, what looks good to you may not look good to the next person. Your thoughts of what might be a pos are not going to be the same as everyone elses. Why knock on someone who puts their blood, sweat and tears into their car just because you think that particular car is ugly and a "piece of ****." I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate it if someone told you you were stupid for trying to make your ugly piece of **** car fast. No matter what you drive, someone isn't going to like the car that you drive.

since when did the civics get lumped into the same group as evo and sti's? That's like us lumping in cars like the fiero into the same group as firebirds.

Either way this thread goes, it's apparent that wesman just hates imported cars. The normal car guys know that there are imports that can compete with american muscle cars. This is obvious sice we can compare the STi and EVO with f-bods and mustangs.

I have to agree, I think all the fbody's look pretty damn good. The only ones I didnt really like were the lt1's. but only due to the headlights and weird nose of the car. Otherwise I have to say I think they are all pretty attractive looking, thats JMO though.

Looks like a cockroach car to me.

I had no idea that old school Mopar made me a ricer. Damn!

Edit - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ach.750pix.jpg

Turn the cockroach around and use the *** as a model for the front of the Camaro and you have to admit that the resemblance is uncanny.
