Hah, I like the picture of the admin. who banned you, he's like a walking caricuature of half the people I've seen driving a Camaro.

To those here who like/own a Camaro, I'm sure you belong to the other half..

How about we see you in a week?... Awesome.


And the rest of you, next time somebody like this comes in looking for trouble. Don't give them the time of day, don't post. It only gives them what they want, which is a reason to argue on the internet like a bunch of 13 year olds after a bad match of Counter strike.

C'mon guys... use your heads.
so you express your opinion, they respond to your opinion and this asshat steps in to close it when his boys slowly fall out of this heated discussion? apparently whatever they say is goes and no more argument can be said about it.

I know, I re-registered as honda troll 2 and PM'd the admin to ask the admin what the deal was. Hell, my eclipse story got posted on 2 different DSM and eclipse websites. They thought it was funny and entertaining. I didn't do any flaming until I got flamed. He said something about me flaming SRT4 owners, however, he missed the fact that I POINTEDLY said some SRT4 owners are a certain way. I have 2 friends that own them, and my friends are not ricer morons.

Methinks there is quite a few immature kids leftover from the days of the old war stories srt forum that have moved onto the automotive forums.com site.

Last time I hung out with some SRT-4 owners, they ended up sitting in the parking lot reving their motors at eachother to see who's was loudest... of course that was after setting off their alarms as they walked to their cars... Few things are as annoying as 5 SRT-4 alarms all going on and off for 5 min.

Honestly, your beef with SRT4 has gone beyond funny, it's actually scary. I visit alot of forums and I see alot of beefs with people and cars, but your hate for the SRT4 is crazy. You by far race the most SRT4 that anybody has encounter. Also that fact you win 95% of your races with only a 13.6 s2000. How do you not encounter faster SRT4? Or maybe you do encounter them but just don't post about it. I think ive read you lose to only 2 out of 500 SRT4.

Yes, we know you can out handle them or autox them, but im talking about your street racing encounters, the one where your only going in a "straight line".

we have a fair amount of SRT4's here. not many of them are modded. (i've found a 2 or 3 who kicked me in the teeth that were though. lol)

It's a car I love to hate. But it's only my opinion, so what more can I say. Honestly, if the majority of the owners that I come across weren't clueless ricer moron punks, I'd probably harbor less hatred for them.

My guess as to what usafstud is commenting about is how the Understeering pigs of AWD cars on the road today get used on open tracks.... and to get the cars to actually turn the owners do something called "hooking" where they get the inside rear wheel on the inside of the apex curb, causing a momentarly loss of traction on the rear end allowing the car to actually rotate.... Problem is, by doing this they spray dirt and debrie on the track right at the corner entry. Much to the annoyance of every one else on the track.

I'm with usafstud on this, as I feel that AWD cars are grossly over rated. its simply a platform that allows Idiots to drive like Idiots and not have the car punish them for it.

I have seen AWD cars do that on a track, and then get flagged for it. But it looks like most times they don't catch them doing it.

AWD is good for launching and snow and that's about it. Even a well set up RWD can launch pretty close to an AWD, but not quite as good. The problem then is now that the car is moving, it takes so much more power just to keep it going than a normal RWD, so it is a double edge sword for drag. And as if for snow, most RWD or FWD cars with a decent set of snow tires have no problem.

The biggest thing that annoys me the most about AWD drivers is how they fcuken open their big *** mouth in the beginning of the track day. Yes, anyone that is big into motorsport have and need confidence. I love passing these punks with my 127 HP civic. I do respect AWD cars for their abilities. I have seen them get out of hairy situations due to their drivetrain. AWD cars are the easiest cars to be fast in, so I get pissed when the drivers think they are the **** because they have an awd.

its one advantage. the disadvantage is the huge amount of drivetrain loss.
