Poor guys, what did they think? They were buying a new Corvette?

Edit: I am not implying in any way shape or form that I think I can take a new GTO. .....yet.

They talk so much trash, lol. See that T/A guy saying he gets more looks in his car than a STi or EVO, haha yea those have only been around for 10 years aren't people tired of looking at them? I know I wanted to get a WS6 back when I was looking for cars, but I guarantee that I get more looks in my car than he does.

I guess some people don't grasp the concept of drivetrain loss (uhm)

and curb weight.

If I'm beating corvettes, how are you gonna beat me in a heavy ass worse geared version of the corvette?

 

[TrueProtege]

Reading all of that makes me laugh. These guys like to call our cars wanna be cars, or they tell us there not real cars. (uhm) wtf did I not just drive up in it? Any sane person can see that they are real, just like my shoes are real. They think that because their cars have BIG V8's that it makes them gods, they dont stop to think that it has to do with personal taste. I for one enjoy the fact that I can get resonable fuel economy, and still have a resonably quick car.

Sorry so long but this crap gets to me.

FYI, there's at least one GTO already in the 10's. As far as fuel economy goes, they do great on the highway. On a side note, it's the slow ones that are the biggest sh!t talkers. I've pretty much noticed that of any car type owner. Besides, that thread is based on bench racing, which is nothing more than lame.

 

[changedman]

that was a great read. hahaha.

 

[acidbug]

Yeah..those guys are babies..b/c 4cylinders are whoopin up on thier larger displacement v8..

-chas
Wooooosh

 

[JOS3]

v8 pussies.......

the gto would kill my little p5, but whats the sense in bitching about a 'rice burner' turbocharged 4-cylinder whooping their v8 tanks?

 

[torque222]

thats why god created turbo lag....so v8's could keep up

LOL, the f-body has been around since the 60's bub. 35 years in total.


and no, i'm not tired of looking at them. almost every gen. of f-body had something awesome.

all current (LS-LT) f-bodies are badass.

LOL!!! I almost want to register to reply to this one:

Hey you could strap a rocket to a Yugo, and it will smoke me. So what, it's still a Yugo. I'm not impressed by all these cute little compact cars that are SO fast. I guarantee I get more looks in my T/A (by kids and adults), then the punk a$$ kids get in their wanna-be "real" cars.

WTF?!?!?! More looks in THAT then he would get in a hooked up MSP or MP3? I think not. (headshake

 

[low_psi]

that thread was started in 2003, before the GTO had hit dealers. way to go. you're a winner! you brought a thread from over a year ago back from the dead on another forum just to "school" them.

 

[Heathen23]

I'm suprised no one on that thread mentioned that most of those land yachts can't hardly make it out of the mcdonalds drivethrough considering their handling. I'm not anti domestic but I think it's funny when someone's manhood is challenged by something that is different and more competitive than their own car...cough srt.

a properly prepped f-body would stomp most of our cars on any road course.

properly prepped? what are we talking here?

 

[Fear]

suspension mods. i've been trounced several times by prepared-class camaros (auto-x).

i think a lot of people on this board are blind to domestics. sure, they're heavy, but that doesnt mean too much when cash comes into the equation.

well no s*** suspension mods but what are we talking parts wise and final costs? Don't compare moded to stock, no point in doing so.
