Ok-
After reading through countless posts, threads, etc....I have come to a conclusion. A very simple conclusion.
We are arguing about two different cars....that are .5, .6, even a second off from each other (or whatever frickin time it is).
Mball...go buy your $30k+ big winged box that looks like some 5 yr. old kid designed it (the outside that is). And get it on the street. And run it hard. Launch it hard, and make good times on the street. Will you have your pocket watch with you to time yourslef?
Or maybe your one of the few who will take it to the track. Let me say one thing...and I am sure you will repsond...but I wont. This needs to end.
I drive a vert V6 right now, with a ton of stereo equipment in it. Probably the slowest Stang that ford makes. But let me tell you something. If I pulled up next to you in your evo at a light...and heard you rev your engine at me. I would laugh at you. Not because I know that you would beat me...but because you spent so much money on a sleeper. Do you know what a sleeper is? It's an ugly car that doesn't look fast, but is. I would not waste my gas, which I pay $2.25 a gallon for, and be seen running against some ugly @ss car. Yes, you would win. You would go X amount of seconds faster. But in the end...when that hot blonde is walking down the street...she will see my car...and not yours. No, girls aren't like the girls in Fast and the Furious. They don't automatically cream when they see a guy go .3 faster than the next...and if you happen to find a girl like that...she has a warped sense of style dude. Either one of two things- Your gay...which is fine...and do not care about women...anddon't care about style....or you haven't dropped that penthouse mag and your member; and looked up and noticed that there are actually REAL women out there...not just in that mag. Girls like to look good. Girls like to look good...in good looking cars....with good looking guys. Guess your SOL.
I may be in the minority...and I am sure there are alot of stangs that would kill and evo...and with enough money...evos that would kill a stang. But the point is...How many of us really care if our cars are .5 seconds faster? Will you be at the track racing for money? Or just pride? Do you really want to spend $30+ on a Evo because it is slightly faster, the same, slower...whatever. I would buy a cobra...because of the name, the style, the growling V8, and yes...because its quick. But I could care less if some Japanese import can keep up.
Grow up Mball. How old are you btw? You talk like some 16yr old with a hard on because he goes .3 faster than the other guy. A BMW M3 would kill you. I personally don't like BMW. I don't like there style, even though they are made quite well.
Its a car dude. Put it in perspective. Go waste your money on a car that 90% of people who don't know car engines will laugh at...and the other 10% will be laughing still....because you paid so much for a car...that may (and I say "may" because final numbers on the 05 aren't out yet) out perform a stang..and if it does...its so close that no rational person would give a rats @ss.
Congrats man. I will be riding arround in style with a hot babe, while you will be riding arround wasting money on an ugly car....wasting money on gas to prove yourself....and also.....riding alone.
