Scraping the splitter.
Guys, JG2 lives in his own world... he wins all of his own arguments... but what good is winning if no one else understands you?
How he's gotten away with posting 'as anything valid' when he's probably never even driven a corvette... let alone one with more than 500HP...
What JG2 will (unfortunately) never learn... is just because you read it on the internet... doesn't mean it's true... many of us who 'track cars'... debunk the mag tests and even manufacturer claims.
I've tried to stay out of this one... and frankly... I try to just not reply to JG2 threads... at somepoint the mods have got to get this taken care of... 6,300 posts of pure nonsense...
Best Regards,
Dave

i put him on my ignore list a long time ago. Best thing I ever did.
He is the only person I’ve ever done that to, but seeing his gibberish was so annoying it was “ignore list” or stop using the forum.
I dont understand why any any of you continue to engage with that moron.

He can be annoying, but harmless IMO. He goads responses out of people, but it doesn't matter if you respond or not to him. I find it quite entertaining. He says he goes to the track, has no one met him in person before?
Snorman, that GIF has me cracking up.

Thanks for chiming in OnPoint! You were on that list hoping the Pobst exploits had backed you up prematurely, come to think of it. Yeah, and Dave thought he had me with that one too.
He actually is kind of on there twice. Absolute mastery!
Interesting how I got you all here!
Johngoogletwo (that's my new moniker for you, I might even tm it, LOL). Let me give you some honest-to-goodness advice offered in good faith. I think I've actually seen one, maybe two posts of yours among your thousands in here, which were comprised of full sentences, cogent syntax and relevant thoughts. So I know you are capable of it. But that's not what you do normally, is it? Here are some tips:
1. Apparently you have convinced yourself that if you present your posts with some sort of self-defined "nuance", you'll be regarded as oh so brilliant and experienced. Your posts, containing rambling inanities, broken syntax, inapposite comments and "post titles" don't come across as wise, impressively "nuanced" or anything having to do with learned gravitas. Rather, these posts come across as if you're an idiot. This apparently intentional posting style of yours has made you the laughing stock of this forum, and as Snorman rightly notes, the prolific nature of them has become palpable thread pollution on this site. Which is probably why several other sites have banned you for posting this very sort of crap.
2. Apparently you think you're engaged in some sort of contest or competition in here. You're not. You're not winning anything. There is no contest. There is no prize.
3. It's fairly remarkable you haven't been banned here by now. You pheck up and pollute more threads in here than anybody. The fact you are a proudly self-admitted troll, doesn't help your case.
4. The fact you can read magazines and internet articles is not impressive. Young children do this all the time. The value anybody in here places on your POV regarding the handling dynamics of any C7 variant, modern Porsche, Mac or any other modern high performance sports car is the same as if you were to mutter something (with the sentence structure of a 3-year old no less) about the handling/performance dynamics of the F-22 Raptor. Precisely zero.
5. There are good number of great folks who are regulars here. Some with some outstanding knowledge, experience and capabilities. If you'd stop trying to be something/somebody you're not, you could probably benefit from them. And everybody would benefit if you'd cease the ever-increasing instances of retardation you post in diarrhea-spewing fashion in here. Or the mods could do what should have been done long ago, and ban you.

You are a legend in your own mind. You haven't had me on anything. I don't GAS about your Porsche hard-on, my prediction was (which came quite true indeed), that you, of no track knowledge, and absolutely zero hands-on experience with any C7 variant either on track or off track, and a fraction of a fraction of the driving talent of Randy, would nonetheless criticize Randy's driving. Which you did. And which to everybody on here is priceless comedy watching somebody like you act like he's a superior driver to, and more knowledgeable than, Randy.

C'mon guys..easy on JohnGlenn...I have a hard time understanding him as well and I also have a friend (very intelligent) that had a stroke and talks just like John writes...not sure.. but by now I figure out that when you couple his writing with the link to corroborate it then the "bottom line" kind of sort surfaces.. (if one tries)..and albeit not always agreeable (internet can be used for both ways) it's not deceiving either...or at least it's not bad intentioned...
Also, IMHO Track racing is awesome and no doubt aspects of racing in time develops a keen knowledge on specific automotive attributes that help the machine go faster. Some of it is not brain surgery either... take out weight...duh!..
I guess it's coming tongue in cheek .. but to suggest that being a tracker is a pre requisite just in itself to contribute valid points on the CF forum is a stretch as well. At the end of the day street-able cars are designed and built by engineers/designers with "some" input from racers..

Baloney! They get cornered out on a point and all of a sudden they stop understanding me.
Yet, they are here because of an abbreviated list.
They are always BLANK about my key cutting and pasting, BY OTHERS! Not a word!
The internet is a vast resource. I simply connect the dots. BS - outs the window.
You give me BS and I give you Kings English. That's a cop out!

Someone please start a new thread if this gets back on topic. I'm out.

The blame should go to the moderators for allowing this nonsense to continue...if the company that owns the Corvette Forum want to find out why their numbers are going down and losing market share to facebook, here is one good reason. Wasted and derailed threads just frustrate people. JG2 is the only person I have ever put on an ignore list but I still see his gibberish when he gets quoted by other members.
Here is a question for the Corvette Forum vendors.....since the numbers are down, did the cost of your ads also go down? Something you should look into.

Nothing you post is clear, you seem to be the only one not to understand that. You said something about C7 e-diff. I didn't bother clicking on it. I'm not going to follow your magazine Google trail.
Besides, I told you, clear, legible English or I will not respond......
