Right track here?


That Tink guy i'm guessing is having a rough life... bad job? No future? Girlfriend turns out to be a dude... whatever it is... I think he just needs someone to hold him. Poor Kid.

Asherby? Seems like she invests a lot of money into her car... Seems like she invests a lot of time into her car... Seems also like she invests a lot of emotion in her car...
So what exactly is wrong with that?
She hasn't put "Type-R" stickers on it... She hasn't put a floppy eBay wing on the back... She hasn't said hold on, wait till my V-Tec kicks in...

What is y'alls problem exactly?

From my reading.. Yes! Y'all are quite close minded. That's unfortunate.
I, on the other hand, am not. (Do I sound cocky? I am when it comes to how open I am regarding enthusiast cars.)

I've owned...
SVT Focus, Stage 2 Cobalt SS Supercharged, Saleen S281, BMW 135i with Twin Turbos, and now a 5.0 Mustang. I'm now about to sell it and get either a Boss 302 or a GT500. Yes I've owned mainly Fords, but I still love everything. Dad has an LS2 SSR.

The point is... I really can't figure out why y'alls panties are in a wod. Generally all but ANTICOP RAM AIR seem to have issues.

GM isn't calling y'all out on anything... like anything!
Y'all are defensive from the get go... Why?
I really wonder what is wrong with the Tink kid... Personally I think he's an idiot. Professionally, I think he's still an idiot.
But people aside! I am a big fan of the LS1s.

(and Yes... this thread is old... but I just stumbled on it today)

A few years ago I went out to a few GM events. Cool people, interesting cars and good overall fun hate for imports. EXACTLY what I wanted in my car hangout.
Good luck finding a better group of people.

I guess I'm just not understanding exactly what they did wrong in this circumstance.

Sharpest tool? Depends on the field. I do Engineering for Offshore Oil & Gas Platforms.
Cars though? Pretty sharp... but some of my knives though, i'm still sharpening and probably will be for the rest of my life.

So why did everyone jump on them when they got defensive. Just guessing... but don't usually people try to avoid offending people? Jabs here and there of course but the rest?

I am sorry that I jumped into this whole thing with my own rude remarks. I do apologize for those.

Though, I still don't understand why everyone had to attack them.
Hell, they drive GMs too! If they had Fords, I would completely understand the rivalry. But not this.

I would have figured it would be more so...

"Wow, 400+ out of a 2.0L DD? Nicely done! Any of y'all considering grabbing an LS1 project and building 800+ out of it?"

I just don't understand the pride. What's in it for LS1Tech to not reach out to other GM communities and grow?

The last time I went to any of their events was... nearing 5-6 years ago. But I do remember they were a cool group then.

I was meaning that statement would have been nice coming from LS1Tech to GMelite. 800, 900, 1400... The more the merrier!

I would have just assumed to build up those who are doing the same thing the rest of us are.
