I will race anything that is closely matched to me. That means I stay away from things like Vipers, Lotas, and the one Vector that I've been beside. Some people bye there car to go fast in a straight line, others to go around corners, and some to even go off the roads.

P.S. I'm probably going to reply to a bunch of posts back to back, so if you already know you won't like my opinions move on to a different thread or scroll down a whole big bunch.

ding, ding, ding, da-da ding, ding
Burnin' em...
with my TSI...
boost pumped up to an all time high...
I hope this comes across the internet as funny as it is in my head. Either way, I love the old Conquests and Starions... sorry you had a bad experience with all those scary muscle car guys. Still no reason to make blanket statements though, if I did that I'd have to beat the living sh*t out of my roommate for owning an S2K after reading your posts.

405 HP out of the new ZO6, 340ish for a "regualar" f-body, all getting mid 20s as far as mpg. I wish GM would wake up and catch the bandwagon, these ancient motors really suck. BTW, read up on the Trailblazer and the Envoy. IMHO, the most sophisticated motor in any car today sits between the fenders of a GM. Even if you don't agree... that inline 6 blows your "gm has not kept up with the times" comment up in smoke. Shizon took care of the rest of you statement so I'll move on.

I am truly humbled, I thought I had a wealth of useless knowledge but am in awe of jschmidt!
