you know....if they removed every useless post in this thread,i.e. all the ones by people stating that it is USELESS and "close this thread" and the like, it would be an ok thread. Who are you guys to say what someone can post when they want to know something. Although this post doesnt address the original topic, i was more irritated by the gaps in actual conversation due to the above "useless" posts, than the fact that this has already been discussed before.

In short, if you dont like something cuz you feel it is over posted, Then WHY GO READ IT!. And on top of that post in it. it all goes back to not saying anything if you have nothing nice to say. One person has a legitimate question and all you guys did was come in and bitch that he asked it. Just stay the ^$&* out of it then!

Rant over

Only reason I said something was so I can bring some common sense to the crowd and maybe someone would understand instead of bickering between what model they beat when and where.

Alot of ppl gock over Mustangs and there are some seriously fast ones out there... but I wouldn't drive one if it was given to me. I'd trade it in for a Cobalt.

Adam I started a thread that was ment for that but some people here started the stupid crap and it got locked. You can not show some people what they do not want to see.

This palce reminds me of the org from 2 years ago, I just hope it doesn't go down hill too. But its starting.

I stand by my statement. If you bought your car to impress everyone else, you're an idiot. I didn't say you couldn't buy your car because it looks good, or because it's a nice ride. I agree, I'd rather have a Cobalt over a Mustang.... I like the car better. It's called personal preference. That's not what I was referring to. If you bought your car simply to impress everyone else, then you're superficial and very materialistic. There's no other nice way to say it.

and probably a few others I cant remember.

Losses

89 ZC Integra w/ all bolt ons.

Very impressive car, much faster then my 2.4 SE-R was.

I think the 2.4 Cobalt would be faster though.

Cant beat displacement

lmao how do you get in that many races in a stock 2.2?! i have trouble getting people to race me and my car is loud! that might be it actually...

i agree with most of your post, but man have you ever driven a ferrari? i have driven a z06 and an f430 and i can tell you right now it is worth the extra money. the z06 is fast as hell, and it actually may outrun the f430 in any performance aspect, but the ferrari is like a 12 second lexus. it is just so much nicer and classier than any corvette. just thought i'd point that out. your main idea is right tho, buy what makes you happy, nothing else should really matter.

I get ppl who want to race me all the time (mainly Civics). My car is the perfect sleeper. They take off and then I simply catch them. Shuts em up real easy. Like I've said on .com, the 2.2 is the leading contender in its class.
