Or someone will get a ticket for a loud exhaust and whine how it isn't fair because other people have loud exhausts too.

Sure it is. It is dark sarcasm based on the fact that not everybody agreed with him that the Kia is the 4 door 86 in another thread. He totally missed what they were trying to say and in now all bent out of shape.
Although I don't disagree with his thoughts on some owners I don't think a new thread to complain about and lash out at the people that disagreed was the right move and does indeed make it whining.
Now, if this was written as satire or irony and intended to be funny then I missed it completely.

Perhaps a fart can and a massive wing. Could it be me? Do I not deserve an 86? It's one AM, I'm going to be up all night now worried I may not be enough of a smug douchebag to own one.

Well, you made this post...so...I think your smug douchebag meter is about pegged to full.

Welcome to the internet. Wear a helmet.

You can foster the growth of your superiority complex by reading the "not enough power, I boosted on the cheap, I blew it up" threads. Though that may make you less likely to wave back...

Stinger is an impressive car. I liked it, actually. But I am still in love with my FR-S.

Everybody is different. But some of us are not comfortable with differences, they want their own differences to be their superiority. Feeling superiority over assumed inferiority of others is just self deception.

Read the original thread and point out where anybody acted as the OP stated in the opening of this thread. It just isn't there. This thread is a gross overreaction.

I agree with you about the overreaction after quickly checking the other thread. It is just common internet chatter. Not anything like I was trolling there

I didn't read the OP that you are obviously referring to. You can be the douchebag you always wanted to be if you strive for that goal and work to be what you have always been deep inside.

GO FOR IT!

The transmission doesn't define the car as a sports car.

Especially since the high end automatic performs better than a manual and is found in most new sports, and super cars.

indeed, the way a car handles and accelerates between an auto and manual is pretty insignificant especially these days as most torque convertors are not much heavier than a manual tranny but this issue has nothing to do with better performance...autos have been faster than human limbs for a long time now. it is all about the connection and additional feel you get with the experience.
