So is anyone here going to own up to being the "75thGrandAm" troll in that thread???

Got to say that they all seemed reasonably sensible to me.....

I guess what I read was that it seemed no matter what this is basically what they said.

75thGrandAM: why does torque matter if I dont cross the finish line first?

Everyone: torque is good. you have more torque.

75thGrandAm: great, so I get a cookie from the torque fairy. so what. I still dont understand whats so great about having more torque if I still lose.

Everyone: you have more torque. hondas dont have torque.

75thGrandAm: but most hondas are faster than my grand am.

Everyone: but hondas have a high redline. oh yeah, did we mention they dont have any torque?

My point is it seems no matter what they dont get that they still LOSE THE RACE!!
P.S. the 75thGrandAm guy is my fiance's brother. yes he actually owns that car, but he loves the S2000. And he works at a honda dealer! lol.

Here's my favorate quote:

"Plus who wants to drive at 9000 rpm all the time, like a Honda. Sooner or later it's going to get annoying. "

Oh no, i'm concerned, am I going to get annoyed by VTEC? has this happened to anyone? i guess i'll just trade in my car for a grand am.

I don't care if its torque or HP, if a car is fast its fast.

What's scarier than the torque talk, is that there is an actual Grand Am board around.

I love ignorance. Yes, I just can't stand my 9,000 rpm redline. Woe is me.

...wouldn't torque be what you need when you hook up the trailer home and move it 'cause the front yard done got too full of empty beer bottles?
