Same for me, that's why I'm hating :mumble:SkaredShtles said:Jeezus! That's like 2-1/2 hours past my bedtime.
how is this unclear, i'm saying a real european super has its peak output at a high rpm, not the low rpm peak output that the mercedes has. They are also naturally aspirated, again the mercedes is not. I then provided specific numbers to back up my claim, i'm sorry if you do not understand my shorthand, but 612, 430 are ferrari models, look them up if you are so inclinedSkaredShtles said:You seem to actually be getting more unintelligible. Are you drunk?
How am I supposed to know if I read it right when you write things like that?gemini2k said:i'm saying that 6500 is low to high your peak power output. Did you read my post right?

I'm telling you clearly... you will not have a reasonable, fun, intelligent conversation in this thread as you've already annoyed everyone who would've enjoyed such a conversation by saying...gemini2k said:alright maybe i was off with my porsche comparison, but i have since backed it up with other real numbers, my apologies.
Post script
when i'm unclear, be specific, like your recent post. Don't just attack me
Next time, maybe, ya know, don't start off with such a dickish comment and you'll get the discussion you're looking for?gemini2k said:that car ****ing blows, it's for tasteless people who know nothing of cars.
Maybe? Defiinitely.gemini2k said:alright maybe i was off with my porsche comparison,
By "real" you mean being like everyone else?gemini2k said:how is this unclear, i'm saying a real european super has its peak output at a high rpm, not the low rpm peak output that the mercedes has. They are also naturally aspirated, again the mercedes is not.
Why do you assume that I read your half-assed admission before I made my post about the 959 and GT1?gemini2k said:and "justsomeguy" I already admitted a made a mistake with the porsche example, yet you brought it back up?
not from bloomington thank god, only go to school there. I'm from wheaton, although thats probably not much better. At least i'm not some fundamental christian.LordOpie said:it's all good, we forgive you. I mean, you can't help it, you're from Bloomington

(I didn't read it BTW)
eh, i dunno, bloomington is pretty......odd. But wheaton, now thats a town of posers, and we know how I feel about thatSkaredShtles said:Good God. I'd rather be
Your comment in your first post put you firmly in the idiot column. You have quite unsuccessfully been trying to get into some other column for awhile now...............gemini2k said:So people are accusing me of being more or less idiotic when they don't even read my arguments?

It was an Enzo. The owner claimed that "Dietrich" was racing an SLR (car in pics) when the crash occured. It's a story that just gets crazier and crazier (Swedish mafia, his wife's SLR just got reposessed, etc.)moff_quigley said:Isn't this the kind of Benz that the owner of an Ferrari (F50?) and a mystery German were racing and the Ferrari got wrapped around a tree?
Wait, didn't he claim that Dietrich was driving the enzo (driver 1's) and that Driver 1 was actually in the passenger? Then his blood on the airbag gave him away or something?justsomeguy said:It was an Enzo. The owner claimed that "Dietrich" was racing an SLR (car in pics) when the crash occured.

Google "Enzo crash" for many news accounts of the "truth is stranger than fiction" story.
He must be referring to Hondas with the low dispalcement comment. We all know those JDM <2L engines carry enough power to smoke anything, and at such high rpms you can hear them from a mile away therefore scaring the competition into forfeiting. And because he made the error in the Porsche figures, we can assume he must really have wanted to write japanese super car instead; all Americans know that's how you get street cred.justsomeguy said:You claimed that "a true european super car like a porsche, ferrari lambo, etc. are designed around a high rpm, lower displacement engine."
Does it have chrome 22s, blue lights under it and a whistle-tip?gnurider1080 said:i drive an accord...

What's a speed "limit"?N8 said:Who really cares???
After all, all a car really does is get you from Point A to Point B... and the speed limits are pretty much set at 75 mph max.

The same thing could be said of bikes. All they do is get you from point A to point B, so why not just buy something from Walmart?N8 said:Who really cares???
