  1. all I gotta say is So Long and Thanks for all the fish
  2. Is that how you woo'd michael moore? 341055[/snapback] enough dude, Im starting to feel sorry for you
  3. Yeah, I think that question kinda steps over the line. Big time. Like, there's this barrier of common decency right? This guy went through it. Doubled back. Went through it again, and just kept on going. 340424[/snapback] This guy is either some horny teenage pervoid or a 30-or more-something who got stuck at puberty. 340425[/snapback] and should be neutered 340428[/snapback] Says he with the raunchy Kermit avatar :D 340429[/snapback] no puppets were harmed in the avatar

  5. As far as Im concerned when Bugatti died and the company went under, the cars died too. I hate the fact they resurected his name for the pure sake of selling sports cars for I believe the messer company,, they just bought the name, Bugatti's son sold the company in the 60's and all i believe they made at the time was airplane parts for the past like 5-10 years
  6. shurly a stupid question, but can you play regular playstation games on the psp
  7. I cant wait for this to happen, whats the schedualled time frame again for release?
  8. You are just a whining liberal pussy who has jumped on the sissy-homo-worthless band wagon... Nobody will argue that games that have adult themes are good for kds, and we aren't talking about rocket launchers (as your panzy-ass quote is refering to) we are talking about pimping women, selling drugs, killing homeless, sexual content (none of this crap is glorified in Arnold movies)... Space Invaders was a violent game, but nobody bitched about that, its the newer games that really push an extreem. I personally wouldn't want my nephew who is 11 to play San Andreas or any game like it. 340137[/snapback] back on the free speach, but totally off topic, its your responsibility to not buy, not allow your youngins to have this, porn is out thier on the internet, dont allow it to invade your home. Another good point is too lead by example, not, do what I say, not what I do.
  9. I, and most people 100% agree with you, but heres the problem,Taking the vette for example,,,,,,, Its been 10 years and our sales are dropping on our Corvette model and the Viper and Ferrari are begining to stomp us at the track again. We need a new car. points,, Need high horsepower model for racing and top gun status (Z06 program) Customer base,,, (loyalists (60 yr old male) will purchase new body style) Dave Hill (Ex Cadilac guy, now Corvette manager) wants everything a caddy has and cant understand why the top hasnt been power,,,,ever (Customer marketing agrees, hence power top option) Kick off design studio ussing references of competitions cars (Ferarri & Viper) Customer focus group thinks a 275hp V6 Vette, no power windows, priced around 30,000 would sell like hot cakes,,,,,,loyal vette owners state they wont buy one if it is availably to the "general" public, V6 program cancelled Clay models are mocked up for the focus group (somewhier in Cali) and a mix between the general publick and return customers votes on the best design,,,,,, Engineering takes design to portfilio to prepackage the car (ocupants safty standards,,,,engine, you get the point) and makes changes accordingly engineering now starts designing the vehical for manufacturability,,,,,more changes engineering finds out how much it will cost to manufacture certain parts,,,,,shits and makes more changes,,, boom, car comes out to the public and resembles what the studio did. This was a basic program, a lot more things go into acount when a car is brought to the market, but you get the idea. Car manufacturers hire, fire, change the way they do business so often that they NEVER learn from thier mistakes unlike high end manufacturers who refuse to change thier ways. In the 15 yrs Ive been in the Auto business every time a new program is started its like reinventing the wheel (unless you work for Mercedees (no afiliation with Chrystler), Lotus, Ferarri, Lamborghini, rolls, etc....Even Porche is starting to follow suit in the "big" companies shoes which is very sad BTW trying to become tooo broad in the market instead of sticking to what they know. I wont get into the big wigs just looking out for thier own pocket book
  10. have you even seen TV latly tits and profanity sells
  11. you probably offended 50% of americans with that
  12. i feel totally opposite about Bangles designs- I think they're the biggest breath of fresh air automotive design has gotten in years. the new 5 and 3 series for me has really confirmed BMW as the trend setter they've always been. Bangle is saying "cars don't need the taillights like that, the headlights like that, the trunk like that etc." the new Lexus IS350 is a carbon copy of the 3 series and the new GS stole from bmw too. and wait till you see the new Camry- its all Bangle. I think your sweethearts over at Acura could learn a thing or two from him also and quit making such bland looking cars the only "envelope" the japs are pushing in the design area these days is smoothing their lines out even more like the new Civic and G35 coupe. in my opinion Bangles flame licked, origami designs are the way of the future, not the conservative designs the japs are giving their cars. and don't confuse SMG or DSG with a "tiptronic" tranny. do a little research 339982[/snapback] from what Ive read, the only real manual auto in a street car is the F1 ferarri and the clutch is throttle activated unlike a torque converter or a clutched automatic (replacing the T/C with a hydrolic clutch) and guess what the recommended intervals of REPLACEMENT (not to be confused with service) are,,, 20,000 miles and extremly complex. This is a racing trans, not meant for the street http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46726
  13. Jesus, what the hell,,,not to mention WHY in hades would you want that gif haterist, crip, and A1 asked if I was gay
  14. That says it all right thier
  15. A) kiss my ass roy (jk if you didnt allready know) B) I like watching the action myself, as long as the dubs are good ( a very argumental subject) I dont have a problem with it ( I really like the Mac plus dubs) Im not lazy, I work 8 hours then go home and put up 12 ft walls on a garage Im building, If I wasnt doing that, Id be working out,,,or something, so in otherwords Im lazy in the aspect of dubs and nothing else? weird statement C) I watched Mac zero and had no problems,,,,,,but I think a dub would be sweet, I mean come on, you ever watch the breakfast club in french
  16. thats the thing I hate about boyds, trent or whatever the hell his name is, they dont make drivers, that car doesnt even have a rearview mirror on the inside or out , it wouldnt take much to make it a driver though
  17. well I guess when GM had pictures of ferrari's all over the Vette studio, you could call the Z06 a knock off too 339827[/snapback] You mean Vette, right? You DO realize that the z06 has no special body changes over the standard Vette. Not that the Vette is ugly or anything, its just not different. 339851[/snapback] its wider (to fit the 325's on a 12" rim), the corners above the wheelwells are sharper, I know, I worked on it notice the Z06 rear fender has a body line about 3/4 up the profile of the tire, also a different hood. the top is the same, its just bolted in and trimed over top. also, the floor is diferent and its "missing" a lot of acoustical treatments for weight http://www.chevrolet.com/i/06/pic/corvette...t_gallery08.jpg z06 http://www.chevrolet.com/i/06/pic/corvette...t_gallery01.jpg edit, heres the dimensions about 3" wider Exterior (inches/millimeters) Coupe / Convertible / Z06 Wheelbase 105.7/2,685 105.7/2,685 105.7/2,685 Overall length 174.6/4,435 174.6/4,435 175.6/4,460 Body width, without mirrors 72.6/1,844 72.6/1,844 75.9/1,928 Overall height 49.0/1,245 49.1/1,248 49.0/1,245 Front track width 62.1/1,577 62.1/1,577 63.5/1,613 Rear track width 60.7/1,542 60.7/1,542 62.5/1,588 339858[/snapback] HAHAHA, thats splittin hairs man. Same car. Do you think your wife would know the difference? I know my GF wouldn't. 339874[/snapback] 3 INCHES damn, my wife would notice actually, when you see the cars next to eachother the lines are really refined on the Z, in yeald of Yellows arguement that car is a race car and not for the faint of heart

  19. DYRL dubbed is like watching a godzilla movie,,,,,,,you avatar just freaked me out EXO
  20. I like dubs,,,,,,,im not stupid actually, I dont mind sub's, but i enjoy the film better when I dont have to read and possibly miss some continuity
  21. I like the Idea that you can play previous version games on the PS3, I had a PS1,,,plus, "F" Microsoft
  22. well I guess when GM had pictures of ferrari's all over the Vette studio, you could call the Z06 a knock off too
  23. Upshifts might be faster, but any decently skilled driver should be able to downshift faster than an SMT once they get familiar with the car. And really, when talking about "shifting faster" it's a matter of fraction of seconds. If you're that concerned with lap times, you should be driving a proper race car and not a street car and the whole argument becomes moot. The fact of the matter is that SMTs dont offer a distinct advantage over a regular clutch, they're designed for people who can't drive a standard but want to feel like a proper driver... I never said that spoilers didn't do anything, just that they're pretty much useless for daily driving and not put on cars for any legitimate purpose. If you're driving your car on the street at a speed where you'd need a spoiler, you're an idiot and shouldn't have a license. 339779[/snapback] Most of those transmissions are fakes (autos with a manual valve body) the reason you use a manual (or clutched auto) in racing is you dont lose torque and HP through a torque converter, a real F1 style trans is about 20g's and most car companies arnt going to put 1/2 the price of a car into a transmission,,,unless your Ferarri thier are plenty of sequential gearboxes that you can choose from, but you need a clutch to get the car moving and shifting isnt exactly pleasant and smooth without the clutch at 8,000 rpms.
  24. 42 for the Elise, 55 for the Exige. I want one. 339505[/snapback] Dude, Have you sat in one, not exactlly built to your frame, your heads going to stick out, Thiers a place over here that sells them I heard they are now strictlly Lotus and Porsche granted the numbers are good, but going from your M3 to a Elise, ,its like 2/3rd's the size,,,saw a z06 yesterday, I really like the sharp lines on the production version
