and to your entire, newbie post.

are you sure you are not generalizing just as much as the ppl that you rail against? do you really know why ppl buy fbods and porsches, or are you only projecting onto the owners of these cars the reason why you might consider owning one? you must be, because you certainly didn't get it right for me.

and yes, imo killing a porshe IS better than killing most other cars. reason 1- it's a performance car with a performance image. reason 2- 80% of the porshe drivers that i have met are either posers, cocky bastards and/or pri<ks, which gives me GREAT delight in pwning their *** in front of god and everybody (especially their s.o.). that said, i have met some extremely cool porsche drivers. reason 3- it makes wanna-be porsche owners cry and make excuses when an fbody smacks one silly.

i think that about covers it.

I assume most performance-bought F-bodies are bought for the intended straight line performance, and some Porches, too, but Porsche knew people weren't going to slap on a beefy rear end and run down the 1/4. instead they want a combination of some straight line performance (not as much as a full-out straight-line-performer), handling, refinement, luxury and style. Obviously if it's an entry level model, it cannot be super fast as well as refined and all that other good shiz for such a cheap price. Instead of concentration on one thing, straight-line performance for cheap, like the F-body's concept, it blends together everything in one, but since it has more, it can't offer as much in the performance area.
UGh I hope that makes sense
F-bodies handle well, stop well and go well, especially for the price. Everybody seems to think they handle and stop like crap. That is simply not the case.

Bah. I beat a Cayenne S Turbo in my car a while back. It wasn't cool because I beat some big assed SUV, it was cool because the cocky bastage behind the wheel *knew* he'd beat me because he was in a Porsche. Unlucky for him, but I had the drag radials on that night, and proceeded to unleash the fury

I tried to race a Boxster S on PCH around a year ago. I really wanted to kick this guys *** because he had a women in the car and was totally trying to show off. Well, before we could race, a ****in truck which had been pulled over on the side of the road decided to pull out in front of me. I must have been going around 80 and had to stop pronto. I missed the truck by 1 foot, this was the scariest moment of my life! Ever since this happened, my front brakes are now C5's, much much better stopping power.

I never saw that porshe again.

I saw the truck a few miles up the road. I would have shot that guys tires out if I had a gun, no kidding. What a ****ing idiot.

Newbe? Hah! Wow, you killed a "cocky" *** Porsche driver so you should feel good. Oh, wait, aren't F-body drivers cocky, too? Every kind of car enthusiast can be cocky. Most Porsche owners I know are awsome people, not some pr!cks like you make them out to be. I have a feeling you guys run into the tiptronic Porsches driven by the soccer-moms that patrol the streets at 10 below the limit. This is what I hear from people all the time
"Okay so I have a performance car (Camaro Z28) with headers, exhaust, S-trim, 4.10 gears, 2800 stall and slicks. It is heavily modded. I raced a Porsche Boxster and smoked him, but neglected to see him giving me the thumbs up because I was too busy basking in my glory to look over. I just casually flipped him off and made him generalize all Camaro owners as the same.
I have beaten Mustang GT drivers who couldn't drive before, and gotten props for it, although I drive an "inferior Euro-trash POS VW econobox" right?
Some Mustang owners are pissed about it and flip me off or hit the hazards, or whatever. This is when I say "That guy is a sore loser" isntead of "oooh 90% of all Mustang owners are losers who are just trying to make up for something they lack!"
How can the genetically predetermied size of a sexual organ determin whether or whether not a person will buy an entry level sports car and show it off? Do you also brag to your friends about the Escalade on 22" spinners whom you "raced"
"The Escalade was turning left, and I was going straight, and i SMOKED him too! Wow and he spent 10x more for his car than I did! yay!"
Not only import drivers have "ricer" attitudes, it seems. Hell, most people here wouldn't happen to know it's cheaper 9 out of 10 times to build up a Civic than a Camaro, even though the Camaro starts off in the 14s-12s and the Civic the 16-17s or so.
What people really don't get is people don't buy a Boxster and go "okay now i'm the **** and aint nobody can't touch me"
If somebody with a Boxster gets smoked, it's like ANY other car getting smoked. Having a Boxster has nothing to do with the driver's attitude and "lack of something down south"
And just for the record, I do not plan on buying a Boxster, and have never considered it before. I'm planning on an LS1 Trans Am Just because performance is more important to me than a sweet interior, German-bred road-handling, amazing build quality and the Porsche name. A Boxster may be slightly slower in the straight-aways but they're kick-*** performers for the road courses (Read; not the "twisties", the road courses.) and are a pretty good deal if you can find one for cheap.
Now if you want to go talk about picking on Cocky Porches, go run a GT3 or a Ruf or whatever, and tell me how fast Camaros are then!

hmm... i don't recall ever writing most of what you seem to be giving me credit for in your response. and yes, everything i wrote in my post is absolutely correct from my experiences.

as for racing porsches- while i haven't raced any tuner cars, i have smoked my fair share of current 911s. ALL with the !soccer-mom mod.

this is the SECOND noobified post that you have created. if you want to debate my point-of-view or opinions, please go back and re-read my post and then respond to the contents there-in.

Just because he has a different opinion doesn't make it a "noobified" post. I in fact agree with what he has to say. I can't stand when people make comments like "he got that car to make up for a lack of size in another area." Honestly I've heard that comment directed towards Mustangs/FBodys more than anything, it's just plain stupid.


What kind of car/mods do you have anyways? A 911turbo is no slouch.

a different opinion on what??

the second post is noobified because i never made most of the statements that he is claiming that i did. putting words in other's mouth is a noob tactic, to be sure. perhaps you need to go back and re-read my posts as well, as that i've never said anything about anyone's manhood anywhere in this thread. the first post was noobified by the fact that he was generalizing as much and the folks he was deriding.

i haven't raced a 911 turbo yet. i know better. n/a 911s are a pretty easy target, though.

While I agree with most of what you said....I gotta correct you on a couple things. The Boxster doesn't really have a sweet interior. Most of the rags deduct points from the car cause of the interior. Cheap and plasticky is how it looked to me. About the same quality as what my Vette has. Also, it appears as if the German build quality you're referring to was left out of the Boxster. The earlier models were nightmares from what I've read and the newer ones still have their problems. I've never driven one, but from what the mags say, it's very un-Porsche like in build quality.

First off it's good when you kill a Porsche, but not any better than killing any other car. A Porsche is a performance vehicle division, and you should give them props for not going big ugly SUVS (except the Cayanne) out of it. At least their only SUV sells well and is performance-oriented.
Secondly, why bring up the small **** excuse? "Porsche drivers are just trying to make up for something."
It goes both ways, y'know. F-bodies have big engines. Maybe that's trying to make up for something? What about somebody who has a Duramax diesel engine in his truck to tow his boat...his big engine must make up for something, right?
a man's sexual organ's size is predetermined and has nothing to do with what kind of car he drives. The car he decides on is influenced by many things; friends, magazines, movies he's seen, etc. Honda guys can call V8-guys "small" cause "the extra 4 Pistons MUST be making up for something, right?"


Also, it's not the "twisties" as ricers do put it. It's a road course. Road courses consisting of straight and turns and such, not just windy-*** roads for no reason.

Ahh how about you get a big dose of STFU!

I was just kidding about the **** comment, obviously you only have 1 nut; or somethings wrong with your package to go on a rant like that. I only brought that comment up because i have seen several pics in peoples sigs in various car forums that play around with the joke that porsche owners try to cover up for something. Entirely a joke. SHUSH! That or go cry about it
