That other thread was pretty funny.


I've learned over the years of being on this board (about 7 years now) to either
A- ignore those BS troll threads

B- just humor them, there is no point in arguing, they are never going to admit they are incorrect or not giving accurate info/feedback. Most (not all) 20' year somethings think they have the world figured out, and have a leg up on people twice their age

It's always the same deal, junior memeber, looking to stir the pot, hardly any posts, and ridiculous comparisons.

I have had both C5Z and two C6Z's... I have to be honest and say my

C6Z is far better in so many ways. However I do miss my C5Z... but the

C6Z is truly an amazing car .

I actually believe he has some mental health issues, which is another reason I chose not to engage in the discussion. This is not meant as criticism of your choice to do so however. I just don't think his brain chemistry is right, whether by nature or by being chemically induced.

No,I doubt he & I will be exchanging Christmas cards this year

He's now left the thread on the other forum claiming victory. Which I am truly sorry to see....he was very entertaining.

The funniest thing he said was we gained 81 cubic inches for 100 HP over the LS6. After much study I realized he thinks a larger displacement means the actual outer dimensions of the motor get larger,not to mention heavier.

Otherwise, my c5z feels like a Camry when compared to my c6z!

GM does the 'vettes right. It's just a shame they never can get the camaro right, too.

That's why the GT-R owns. It has a feature for un-sticking you from mud and snow that allows the engine to rev more freely so you can dig your way out. Totally cool. Every supercar with 4" of ground-clearance should have offroad features.

That was by far the funniest CF thread in a long time.

I like how he kept going back and editting his posts. It wasn't until I called him on the Autobahn thing did he go back and change his original post to say "Autobahn In Mexico".

Then after I post a summary of his 9 claims he goes on to assert that he actually has two camaros and even a hanger full of cars costing a mere half his monthly salary.

Then he goes on to assert that a IP Traceroute is proof that a webserver has no security. Then he claims to have obtained CF's source code and passwords LOL.





He must also own a Honda since he is a member of Honda-Tech.
didn't you know he's an agent... Double O status... The honda is a cover...

yeah right "The Mexican Autobahn".

I hear it has special lanes for carts with wooden wheels being pulled by donkeys and oxen. Those lanes are also shared with Hondas.

This thread was even funnier then thez06kids' thread about delivering pizza's in his c6z. Its funnier because this 22 yearold was trying to make a point. Thez06kid was intentionally trying to yank our chain.

I liked the troll. Reminds me of a Chihuahua. Barks at you from behind a fence, would certainly run if you took a step towards him, would hump your leg if he could, and no one should take him seriously. I call them kick toys, but that's just me.

Jack.


P.S. Someone once said. Don't argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to there level...........And then beat you with experience. Or something to that effect.

He's alive and well on another site. I got my 1st warning too. He won't be that hard to find. A black 2003 Z registered t a 22 YO male in VA or SC. Good to have access to all DMV's
