you are wrong pal-ive had the z06 since last june-ive only been on this forum for 2 months-there are many reasons why im not diggin on the z- one of them is- the whole negetive stigma that goes along with owning one- like the ww2 comment-

ill say it again- i dont think the evo out preforms the z- im buying it for a daily driver,and ill have alot more fun in it than i did in the z-period.

 

You didn't have to go there with the, "I'll have alot more fun in it", remark. You might as well have ended it with the, ever so immature, SO THERE. The Evo is a cool car but it's a four door grocery getter. It's fast and a four door. You had to imply that the Vette wasn't that great of a car to justify your purchase. I buy a new car every year. Not because I don't like the previous car but because I like to drive different cars. You could have just said that and left it at that. You had to call it a boat among other things. You called a Vette a boat on a Corvette forums board. You had to expect dome flaming.

 

i will have more fun in the evo- thats how i feel about it-i love the vette but i need a daily driver.and i do expect some critism-but im not gonna lay down and take it.just like your imature comment -the evo is a fourdoor grocery getter? more like an awd rally killer! and im with you on the buying a new car every year -i am a sports car freak ,im sorry i called the z a boat in my first post-i could have chose a better description.

 

Why are you guys still having this conversation...the guy has made up his mind.
It's his money, it's his opinion and it's his choice...just like the choice we had when we bought our cars, damn, let it go kids!

666, c'ya, enjoy your car

 

Being an import guy for about 8 solid years now - Evos and STis are about the best thing to happen to the import world since the original DSMs (talons and eclipses and laser awd turbos) back in the early 90s.

They get up and go - if was to pick id rather have the STI but both cars are values for the money - just like the Vette is a value compared to the Porsche Turbo and Dodge Viper.

But now im sick of the imports and want a ZO6

 

Boat?? Whatever, hope to meet up with you or someone like you on an open road someday soon.....................In your new ricaroni....

 

 

Thank you. I feel for you, because at least I had a father while growing up.
My best friend's father is buried on Luzon. And, probably like you, he never knew him, or had a father to lean on.
You both suffered the effects of REAL sacrifice.

I was going to let this go. I will never change 666's mind. It is a loser to argue with losers.
But, I am a stuborn and obstinate bastard when it comes to principles.

Among many young people nowdays, it seems quite popular to denigrate, or, at the best, ignore,
the hundreds of thousands of people who sacrificed their lives so they can say anything they want, and drive anything they want.

I think that says quite a lot about such people.

Notice, I did not bad-mouth 666's choice, or his right to make that choice.
I just made my views on history (including family) known, and how they influence MY CHOICES.

I don't know 666. I really would like to know 666. And, what has shaped his pyche.
666's responses have consistently bad-mouthed me about WWII, such as
"hahahahahaha you guys are still talkin about world war 2-hahhaaa"
and the last being
"im not diggin on the z- one of them is- the whole negetive stigma that goes along with owning one- like the ww2 comment".
provide classic insight into his soul. Unfortunately.

666 gets to enjoy the benefits bought with other people's blood.
While he spits on their graves. Nice guy.

 

BY NOW :u

 

666 I think that you are nothing but a -ucking Troll now move along and quit slamming the people that made it possible for you to do the things that you do

BTW; I thought that you were out, why don't you leave you -ucking a$$hole

and maybe some of you others that are embrassed by us Corvette owners should follow him

 

Good luck with the Evo! :
Remember to wave to us.
As for the Evo, if I could get one as a daily driver and keep my Z06, I would. I did need to get a daily driver, but I opted for an 86 Monte Carlo SS. Last of the "Muscle Cars" with its anemic 180hp. Won't be long and I will be looking for another daily driver if I keep upping the performance of the SS. Having a racing 200R4 tranny put in right now. Then...it is on to getting rid of the 305. Good luck again with your Evo...I have seen some of them here in South Florida that are VERY sweet!!!

 

Whatever floats your boat triple six...still a free country

 

im not slammin anyone-in fact im being slammed for defending my right to buy an evo as a daily driver-BIG DEAL!and im not sayin anything against anyone.the ww2 thing just amazed me..ive been travelling all around the world for the past 17years, and that is the type of "angry american"comment that the rest of the world associates americans with.
and that aint me.

 

Hope he finds his medication..

You're having a bit of trouble with logic.
1. You DID slam me. See below.
2. I did not slam your choice. I said:
Now, tell me once again how that is slamming your choice ?

I described what my Dad did. No anger. Just facts.
And, how it affected my choice of car makes.

I have NO problem with the current Japanese culture. Or people who buy their cars.
I am not an "Angry American".
So, once again you manage to disprove your statement with the very next run-on sentence.
Elementary Logic 101 is usually taught in the Math Department, even down at the Community College Level.
You might want to consider giving it a try, just for grins.

I do have a BIG problem with the way the entire population of Japan went along with the military dictatorship
which caused a LOT of trouble from the Sino-Russian war of 1904 to the end of WWII.
And caused pain and suffering to millions of people in Asia.
If THAT makes me an "Angry American", I'll just have to plead "GUILTY".

I'm glad you've been able to see the world, and see it through the eyes of others, and see the faults of the U.S.A.
We have a considerable number of warts, accumulated over the years, and they still continue to accumulate.

So, sit around some foreigners' campfires and sing "Kumbaya" for me, eh ?
Let's all the world just get along, and quit killing "the others".
Or, at least we should let them kill us without causing them a lot of trouble.

And, many thanks for occupying my mind with trivia.
Sure beats crying over my Father's passing.

And, now I'll get just a wee little bit snarky.
What in the world possessed you to choose the "smiley saluting the American flag" icon ?

 

Hey RICER BOY Your being slammed for signing up for a name on this board so that you could start some $hit about a grocery getting ricemobile. If you want "out" then get the he!! out already. Yet you still hang around and try to stir the pot. Im with Scott04Z that I think your just a little snot nosed punk 16 year old who is using mommy and daddy's money to try and act like a big guy around here. I am worried what the kids in this country are going to do when the Saddam's and Bin Laden's of the world come knocking, after you slam WW2 and other vets.

Remember "Kum-bai-ya" little grasshopper when your getting your a$$ kicked by that nasty V-8 now and Bin laden later.

Retired GM Engr, I am so sorry for your loss last evening. There's something special about the men and women who went to war back in WWII. They were our Fathers and Mothers. They belonged to a time when "right from wrong" was very clear, and to defend their families, their neighbors and community, and their Country was the only right thing to do. I'm sure you are, as I am, very proud of your Father's role in defending America.
I lost my Father ten years ago. There's not a day goes by I don't remember him and miss him. He served in the Pacific and was with the first ships into Nagasaki after the bomb. Your Father and mine, and many of the Fathers of members of this forum, kept America free .
God bless you and your family and give you comfort through this difficult time
..............Tom (USN)

 

hey little buddy... im not a kid-ive paid my own way-so dont assume that you know me cause you dont f$#khole- no i didnt sign up here to talk sh$t im just tellin my story and some of you are cool but alot are really sad punks..i raise the flag because i embrace freedom and i apriciate it more than you could ever know.punk

 

I will take your word for it. Did you watch the rest of the comparison with the Lambo, when they ran it up against a normal non-turbo charged small car? I believe the other car was something like a Honda Civic. Any way, until the Evo came on the boost, the Honda Civic (or whatever it was) outran it. The point is that the Evo did not have much until you got the engine really revving enough to cause significant turbo boost. I suppose some like that sort of peaky power but not me.

 

Thanks EXILE, I couldn't have possibly said it any better myself.

Well, I guess that pretty much tells us your mindset.
But, questions remain, and inquiring minds want to know.

". . . ive paid my own way-so dont assume that you know me cause you dont f$#khole . . ."
1. How did you pay your own way ?
Certainly not in a job requiring proper punctuation, sentence structure, or grammar.
(grammar: see http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=grammar for your edification).
On the other hand, I have a great deal of respect for men (and women) who make it in life
through "sweat equity". When young, I learned valuable lessons from working with such folks.

". . . i embrace freedom and i apriciate it more than you could ever know.punk . . ."
2. Would you mind filling us sad punks in with a fact or two pertinent to this alleged statement ?
And, maybe, just maybe, Oh Dear Lord, just maybe it could possibly help to prove your point ?

3. To even further further your education, you might consider contemplating the following:
Introduction to Ad Hominem Fallacies
One of the most common non-rational appeals is an argumentum ad hominem--or,
as the Latin phrase suggests, an "argument against the person" (and not against the ideas he or she is presenting).

If you haven't figured it out by now,
let me make it "clear, CRYSTAL CLEAR".
(Sorry, with abject apologies to Jack N. in "A Few Good Men").

I'm actually doing real computer work, and I just check in here every so often,
just for a bit of mental relaxation and refreshment from intense, but productive endeavors.

The objective is to string you along for my own edification and amusement.
I'm VERY interested in seeing how long you can try and play with the big boys.

Otherwise I wouldn't bother.
