I cannot agree with this more. The guy should have been called out. The bullying was unnecessary. Everyone in this video is a douche.

I feel like what I just watched in that video is now being replayed on the actual forums. Stop being a bunch of faygos.

Decent yes, but honestly its not hard to drive a car that runs double digits, shifting is pretty normal no real challenge.
My point is not to be an ass, but that a truly FAST car is not just point and shoot like some tend to think and all the "fast car straight, fast driver turns" shit pisses me off because it is usually said by those that have never driven/raced a fast car on a drag strip, have those same people even attampted to launch an 800awhp twindisk car on slicks? no. has any of those people tried to shift at 10,000rpm in the blink of an eye? no. my point is, the drag VS autoX **** measuring shit has to stop its apples and oranges. Hell, one could argue that driving a road course on Forza is easier than the drag tracks. Just saying. |

LOL! Not to be a troll or anything. but you'd still be driving a relatively slow car compared to the v8 crowd with same mods. Actually I wont even get into how most of that you listed will NOT make your car faster.. in any way. Save yourself the embarrassment and just let the guy talk his shit and move on. You'd be just as bad as that other guy for entertaining or thinking you're deceiving him. Be the bigger man and ignore it. Likely his woman isn't happy with him anyway and he's a closet bed wetter. I've got a local buddy here that already had a douchebag stang owner roll up and get his attention just to tell him he had a slow car. As if having a fast car really matters anyway when you're sitting in traffic with everyone else. My buddy ignored him.. I'd have just replied with "yep, its def slow but you should see the size of my junk! " Or I'd have just waived my lil pinkey at him. This car isn't for goin fast, its for enjoying the ride at whatever speed you're going. Last edited by mangostick; 01-24-2013 at 10:37 PM. |

Most of the mods I listed have a track intention not drag as well some are to increase throttle response.
