Thanks, Dave.

PDCjonny

Yes, that's high praise from one of the forums biggest asses.
Congrats!

Have you guys had your medications for the day yet? How about a Prozac milkshake to make you a little more friendly?

Guibo

Running out of ideas, PDCjonny? Here's one for you.

I could not find any forum rule that mandates ownership of a particular car in order to post comments about it. Just as the ACR is faster, just as the ZR1 makes for a better road car, I'm sure this is by design.

PDCjonny

There is no forum rule mandating car ownership, but it CERTAINLY gives far more weight to a persons opinion than the guesswork of a poser who gets their information off of websites and from other peoples opinions. Sound familiar?

Guibo

No, it does not sound familiar. The figures off of websites would have to have come from GM and Dodge (sales figures, which come from corporate and are made available to various media outlets). One does not have to own a Veyron to guess that it's pretty damn fast, just as one does not have to own a Viper ACR to know that it's relatively narrowly focused and not as well rounded as other cars. When Dodge's own Ralph Gilles says that Chrysler's new products (Viper included) have to do better, appeal to a wider audience (ie, focus more on what more people are looking for, rather than just lap times at the expense of those other things), you have to accept there is some truth to that. This is not just me "guessing." This is from the mouth of SRT's top man.
Did you, PDCjonny, actually drive a bone stock ACR to the claimed time? No, you did not. Like the rest of us, you got that information off of websites. If you claim otherwise, I'm going to have to laugh.
The opinion that the ZR1 is a better street car is not my guesswork. It has been confirmed by those who have owned both and who have posted in this very thread. It has also, not coincidentally, been confirmed by those who own neither, but have driven both over the same roads and same conditions, so can be considered a disinterested source of information, particularly when back-to-back A-vs-B comparisons are called for. You calling people "poser" or "***" doesn't change that fact.

Other people in this thread have made comments without having owned both cars. There have been comments made in this thread about the LFA, GT-R, Prius, and Toyota trucks by people who don't own them either. Why are you not up inside of their butts and calling them names? It was never an issue before. Why is it an issue now? You are diverting discussion from the topics at hand and attacking people who disagree with you on purely personal grounds. Step back, take a breath, and tell me with a straight face that that is not what has in fact happened here.

???????????? WOW!! You must be mistaking the quantity of text for quality of text.

I see nothing from Guibo but highly slanted opinions.... many of which are not only off-base, but untrue...

Guibo

What have I said that is factually false?

Dave68

Step away from your medication cabinet, Bro. If you believe that quoting experts and owners is somehow untrue/slanted, you really need to clear your head of those meds and get back to the real world.

lol @ this thread.

So the Viper beat the Corvette, so what? Can't we all just respect it for what it has done? It was built in America as well, so extra props for that.

Keep it on track or feel the wrath of vacation time....not a threat, a promise to all.
