Because you said this on the previous page:

part of owning a car, IMO, is when you are on the street you make the other guy feel like he has the wrong car... ego boost in a Z06 isn't so bad you have to admit
|
You quoted the NS lap time of 7:42 instead of 7:43 (as it was listed) because you thought it would help your argument. You guys are clearly not biased, right?
Look all you want at my posts. If you're objective, you'll notice that they are very consistent. I don't B.S. BTW, while you were performing 'reference checks' at revlovers.com, did you actually learn something about the Veyron, that I have been stating for quite some time now?? |
7:42.9, 7:42 = with the .9 seconds truncated off. I never claimed i was rounding, and exactly how much difference is .9 of a second.... count aloud, and your own accuracy is within +- .5 of a second. So, again, how is this any bias? Corvette released thier lap time to the tenth, Porsche have not, nor have Sport Auto. So, we don't really know about that GT3 RS, now do we? and No, hte C6 Z06 did not run NS in 7:43... you are somehow seeing that as a meathod to push your opinion through clear bias...
I would much prefer the Porsche given that money is no object; I have made this clear from the get go. You obviously wouldn't since you don't want to be seen in a more expensive car in a district with plenty of expensive cars, since you obviously believe that they don't enjoy them for what they are made for. You are clearly biased
against the vette. That is fine, it is engineered very well, but built to a price.. yet does what no car in it's price bracket can dream of. That is the vette, and has been that way for quite some time.
nobody was being biased, think whatever you want, you are still so very far away from being a factboy
I have learned quite a bit about the Veyron from the test driver's themselves
as to me being conserned about what car i'm in? man you are really streatching.... in a superbly and abhorent analogy.
so, If I owned a Z06, and beat the living piss out of it, and beat a Gallardo on the street, what is wrong with having satisfaction that your friend in the Lamborghini couldn't keep up with you? what does that have to do with "being seen" in any car? WTF mate, it is called a palpable enjoyment and pride in what you own, and your own driving abliities. It has nothing to do with anybody else.
I am a automotive enthusiast, and
IF i wanted a car just to go from point A to point B, I would get a 4x4, or any car that met the funciton. You obviously haven't had a group of friends (let alone large group of friends) who share that kind of passion for the performance car, the historical car, and automotive design.
My blood runs rich in automotive history, racing, engineering, and the kinship with the movers and shakers of Detroit, and fellow enthusiasts; and I wouldn't have it any other way.
If you want to dilude yourself further that a car is only meant to be had fun with on a personal level, go ahead, and continue your isolationist thoughts.... but I contend that you are not that way; as if you were, you wouldn't have registered, and posted at either JW, or Revlovers. So I welcome you to the fray, and suggest that as goofy as your arguments have been the past few days, we aren't so dissimilar.
we both love track driving (at least I assume you do, since you are interested in track times) and we are both involved in the industry (at least it seems as you are) and we are both registered at a world car forum or few. If you come to Detroit, I can definately point you in some interesting directions
