Hear, hear! I used to be very active in SCCA autocrossing here. I had a '72 Celica which I campaigned often. I could regularly beat Corvettes if it was a SCCA event. Got my ass handed to me by 'Vettes if it was a Corvette Club event. Still, I often brought home the trophy for my class. My point is the driver AND the car work together on the track. A well-driven capable car will beat a poorly-driven hot rod.
ofcourse, apologize for overlooking it in the arguement, but my assumption was that the driver skill is the same.

last time i was at the track i saw a guy in a new Z06 run 14.01@116. everyone knows that cars is capable of much better times. i even have the time slip(my dad was in the other lane).
I appreciate your feedback but why don't you re-read that thread and perhaps you'll understand why I posted what I posted. Try to use logic. No offense bro, just try it.

You know I normally don't give a damn but lately a few members (A slim minority) seem to be going out of their ******* way just to flame me for something I post. Here is the way I see it, if you don’t like what I post just ignore it, it’s real simple. The insults are getting old and they’re unwarranted bottom line end of story.

Sometimes wonder I if I am really on a MAZDA forum with MAZDA enthusiasts as I get flamed for posting positive statements about a Mazdaspeed3.
I would expect this kind of treatment if I was on a WRX forum perhaps but this is just ridiculous! And again, if my statements / post or whatever bother you that ******* much as to cause you to want to insult me, check the ignore feature.

I did reread the thread before making my post, as I wanted to specifically reference your post numbers.
All I'm saying is that posting this:
to someone simply because they made a recommendation for a Legacy GT over a MS3 is in bad form. His opinion isn't less valid than yours because you drive a MS3 everyday. He even pointed out his opinion was biased, but you decided to attack him nonetheless.
It's that sort of reaction that makes people think you're a fanboy, as one of the trademarks of fanboyism is taking things personally that are actually directed towards the model of the car you drive, and believing that the car you drive directly reflects on you as a person.
So, looking at it logically, if you're acting like a fanboy, expect to be called one. Either brush off the criticism and not make a big deal about it, and/or change your behavior if it bothers you. You're never going to win a public perception battle by arguing with your detractors... that only fuels the fire.
It doesn't look like you're being flamed for making positive comments about Mazdas. It looks like you're being flamed for making derogatory remarks towards other people and other makes of cars and believing that those are somehow "positive statements" about the MS3.
PS: The same flaming crap happens all over the WRX forums too, BTW.
I disagree.
Are you sure you read that thread? lol!
I really wasn't even referring to that thread anyway. That was just about some dude giving he's "biased" opinion which = fail. I responded with "I own the car and therefore am more qualified to answer questions in regards to the MS3 seeing as I actually drive one" What is wrong about that? It makes complete / total sense to me.
Thanks for your opinion but I completely disagree with you.
