The poster here should stop posting. And you should too. Making fun of cars for no paticular reason, and being an *** at the same time give F-body owners a terrible name.
Oh wait, I am an STi fanboiiiiiiiiiiii

A forum is a place where people can have opinions. If you don't agree with that, then leave. Thats all well and good that you've owned 2 F-Bodies before, but you own an STi now, so you have no more right to be on here than anyone else.

Like I said, the RX8 is a dynoqueen, thankyou for agreeing
I usually equate dyno queens to cars that put great power out regardless of where it is but runs terrible times do to traction constraints. That is why I think, for example, an SRT-4 is a dyno queen due to the FWD and its narrow stock tires.

there are also A LOT of people on this forum who have HAD camaro's and sold them to settle down with their family, etc. should they too leave since they have no purpose here?
i don't own an Fbody, but should i too leave this forum even if i have an LS1?

Everyone has their own opinions on a forum, thats what its for. However, being an LS1 forum, people are going to tend to prefer Domestic vehicles to imports. Deal with it.
If you can't deal with other peoples opinions (especially regarding vehicles like the Evo/STI) then leave, this is LS1 Tech, not Evo/STI Nation

I find it amazing that you, not I, brought up the fact that I own an STi and not an F-body anymore. I wonder why that is, hmm? It's odd that the only person who brings up that car is you. Never did I say this is the STi/EVO site. Never did I even bring up those cars. You did. Why is that?

You can't even be serious. All of those cars look like **** next to a Camaro SS or T/A WS6. Style my ***, none of those vehicles you mentioned have anything close to the "style" of an F-Body. Especially the 240, which looks like it came out of someones *******.
Enough with the bragging about imports and your "LS1 RX-7", every chance you get you have to add in something about them.
Not to mention defending the RX-8 like its your first boen child, its not impressive by any means. The skidpad and slalom numbers were posted, they don't handle significantly better than F-Bodys.
You're got the typical import fanboy bias of assuming all Domestic cars handle like crap. I'm willing to bet that a Trans Am WS6 would easily keep up with an RX-8 on a road course, its only a couple hundred pounds heavier and has a significant horsepower advantage. Enough with the trolling.

You want a dyno queen? Look at the supras that need un-holy amounts of boost for those 800-1000 hp numbers. The turbos are so big on some of those, they don't spool until 6K rpm (or more). Still, I'd hate to run into it on the interstate; from a 100mph roll they can really move. (a real race starts at 0 mph)

Actually, not really. They are kind of hard to find, but they actaully don't cost too much. I have found one in NC that I want to buy for $4000...

Those mustangs and that Z handled good I thought. Then when I bought my first FD, I thought WTF? It would destroy my past cars around the curves. Don't assume someone is "trolling" when you don't know **** about them.
If you like imports so much thats great, but nobody want to hear about it on here

My Trans Am is a WS6, meaning it has the performance handling package, and its got 17" wheels on Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires. It handles better than any import I've ever driven, bar none.
Oh and I am confident that this car, which is an import, will also slaughter a WS6 in the handling department:

Seriously, I don't think he knows what an FD is. My 2000 Z28 M6 only had an exhaust, and my FD had a FMIC/Exhaust/Intake. Not even close in the corners, and the FD was faster in the straights. The Camaro did beat my dog auto FD at the track though.
