:rotflmao: (Especially after all of their "tough guy", arrogant/smug/condescending Tejas drawled spokesman ads claiming the TOY's supposedly under-rated, but over-achieving towing capacity.)
Let's hear all of the :bs: from you TOYboyz/defenders now.
I wish someone would show this pic to their #1 spokesman/booster, "Mikey" W. on "Inside Nextel Cup", just to see his reaction, and stumbling.

The picture defines the term "ironic" pretty well.
I have nothing against Tundra's. I like my Grandma's 06 Tundra CrewMax more than my Uncles 06 Chevy Silverado. Its a little more car-like on the inside, and a more comfortable all-around ride, towing capacity aside.
About 2 weeks, she got swiped by a semi hauling 15+ tons of gravel, and walked away with little more than a bruised rib (truck was totalled, expectedly). Im not saying that Chevy/GMC trucks cant do that, but you need to give respect to any truck that can keep the driver safe after being swiped by a semi. She's gonna buy another one, not that I blame here.

In their defense, ALL the other Full-size pickups got higher crash test ratings then the Tundra. The Tundra is the only one to have 4-star ratings instead of 5, I believe.

That car hauler weighs in excees of 15k lbs most likely. The trailor alone weighs 7k lbs, not including 7-8k lbs of cars.

No complaining or bitching, just laughing. It is very funny that with all the talk about how much "bigger and better" their trucks are in commercials that they dont live up to it in real life.
Our ring gear is huge,
Our engine is super strong,
Our brakes are super gigantic,
Our transmission is super duper big,
Our back seat is ginormous,
Oh, wait, that trailer is to big. :cry:
Not to mention that all their commercial comparisons were their top line offerings to the base or mid level competition.

Toyota Tundra Overtakes GMC Sierra 1500 in YTD Sales?
8/2/07 | Autoblog
... According to Mike Levine at pickuptruck.com, it appears the GMC Sierra 1500 lost its #4 ranking in half-ton sales to the Tundra based on projections culled from production numbers. ...
... General Motors reports that the Sierra has sold 115,185 units year-to-date. The figure, however, includes 2006 and 2007 models of the Sierra 1500, Sierra 2500 (three-quarter ton), Sierra 3500 (one-ton) and even the 2007 Sierra "Classic" based on the older GMT800 platform. GM doesn't break down the sales numbers for the Sierra by model, so Levine got creative and used production numbers for each model from both 2005 and 2006 to extrapolate what percentage of this year's sales the Sierra 1500 model was likely to be. ...
... Based on an "apples-to-apples" comparison in sales between half-ton models, it would then seem the 2007 Toyota Tundra easily outsold GMC Sierra 1500 to become the #4 best-selling half-ton pickup in the U.S. Based on projections through the end of the year, the Tundra will likely outsell all GMC Sierra models, as well, making it the #4 best-selling truck of any kind in the U.S. behind the Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado and Dodge Ram.

No car and driver didnt. And for Motortrend, the Tundra was not released, until after the comparisons.
I love it when ignorant folks bring up the camshaft issue, considering it was less than 20 reported of the 200k sold(.0001 %)( C6 Z06 had more issues with the roof flying off). Tell me why there isnt a recall, if it were so previlant? I guess it hasnt reflected on its sales has it? Dont be mad, itll be ok.

All trucks have headers from the factory! If your meaning to say, they have equal length headers from the factory, then you are wrong. They are far from it. Doug Thorley just released some equal length headers, that made 26hp and almost 40ftlb on our trucks. There's alot of potential left in these motors, that have yet to be opened.
Dude, look at the vids that are posted up, of Tundras vs Siverados racing. Its not even close. The Tundra and Denali are the only trucks that trap over 90mph stock(95-96 Tundra and 94-95mph Denali). The fact is, you will need to mod your truck, in order to pull a stock Tundra! The RC(regular cabs) Tundra's, are running 13.8's-14.1 at 97mph and I know, with your bolt on's, your not close to that. Instead of bench racing, saying you can beat this and that, show me a video of you doing so!

The Tundra's have a tubular exhaust header from the factory where most trucks have a cast exhaust manifold, so you are wrong. It was even in one of their commercials. If I am not mistaken they are a tri-y stainless steel header, which is good for torque. And they are equal length, at least that is what Toyota was saying.

Qoute : """"Wow, so many questions. Ok, it does not really change the sound too much, a little deeper but not much. They are mild steel coated in ceramic and available in chrome right now. The stainless steel would have cost too much money and no one wold want to buy them.
As for the dyno charts and pictures, we have nothing to hide with our product. I am a Mechanical Designer here at Jardine/ Doug Thorley and I am very proud of our product. It is excellent workmanship and development. Such considerations as firing order, equal tube length, and REAL TRI-Y design. I am not at my desk right now. But our header compared to the stock one has MANY differences. The stock one is stamp mild uncoated steel with NO equal length tubes and dumps right into cats. When they are that short there is no torque and slow response. The best place to get our headers right now is through URD USA.
Our headers undergo pressure testing to make sure all welds are good and leak free. Flanges are think 3/8" laser cut steel. They are ground flat AFTER being welded to insure a proper seal. We also use factory Toyota style crush gaskets because they work the best. Why change it? Our ceramic coating is the best money can buy, its 5 mil thick on both sides and provides excellent durability and heat protection. They wont blue and wont rust.
I will get a picture of the stock manifolds tomorrow so you guys can compare. We have nothing to hide about our products and I will be glad to answer any other questions you guys have.""""

No, he insisted that we have tubular headers from the factory. Which is not true. They might be well designed for a factory unit, but it is far from perfrection. Hence as I qouted, they are not tubular. Dont be mad, since the same displacement Tundra, has more power and torque, than your beloved ls1. :punch:

Better check with Toyota on that. Their website clearly says they are equal length, and the pictures clearly show them being tubular.
Also, dont be mad that it took Toyota 10 years to surpass the LS1 and it took a more expensive engine to do it. Why dont you compare it to the Denali engine? Which will be more widely used. And how it takes the Tundra a short rear gear just to get that over weight pig moving even with its power.

And even with the 4 cams, VVT, 4 valves per cylinder, etc......it is still behind the 02 LS6. It even slightly trails the 01 LS6.

Z06 had more issues with the roof flying off that the Tundra with camshaft issue's. LOL, at the people trying to discredit the Toyota sales, which obviously isnt working.
Toyota did something that hasnt been done before and thats pass a Domestic in truck sales. The Nissan Titan has been out for four years and couldnt do it. Keep pushing the cam issue, it seems to be working :chug:

the tundra with all that power and torque should be compared to the Denali (not a base model silverado), and I don't know many people that would take the tundra over the denali

You keep thinking that. Thats what everyone said about the Corolla, Camry, Accord.
Your not grasping the concept here. The point Im trying to make and the reason why the Tundra is doing so well, is GM is lacking in performance. They are still offeriing arcaic 4speed auto. I came from a GM, the power sucked as well as the tranny. The tranny would constantly downshift, on the slightest of grades. Fourthermore gas mileage sucked. In addition to that, the truck was always in the shop for brake repair, power window motor and tranny issues. The two trucks are completely different. Towing 9-10k on a daily basis, is no issue for me.

How long did it take? Think back to the T100 and figure how many years it took them to overtake the lowest selling domestic pick-up. And yes, the T100 was a full size truck- at least that is what Toyota called it.
The Tundra isnt a BAD truck, but the GM trucks are better. Aside from the lack of HP the F150 is also better. The Tundra will probably continue to gain in sales over the next few years, but it isnt going to be the dominant full size truck for a long time if ever.

I used to be a Toyota fan until I realized they were just plain fuckin boring. I'm sure the New Tundra is a good truck, but it's butt ass ugly and the interior is cheap and has way too much plastic. When I was truck shopping, I looked at a fully loaded Limited Tundra and well, I bought a new Denali instead. As far as amenities go, I think you would be surprised at some of the shit that comes with the Denali. Since you want to compare Toyota's top of the line 1/2 ton truck to GM then use the Denali to compare it to and soon you will find you bought the wrong truck.

My point is that, the Tundra is equipped with a 6 speed standard in the 5.7. I didnt need leather or navigation, since this is a work truck. So in actuallity, we need to compare whats standard in our trucks and the Denali is the only option at the time. So lets just compare the Tundra to Silverado

All trucks have headers from the factory! If your meaning to say, they have equal length headers from the factory, then you are wrong. They are far from it. Doug Thorley just released some equal length headers, that made 26hp and almost 40ftlb on our trucks. There's alot of potential left in these motors, that have yet to be opened.
Dude, look at the vids that are posted up, of Tundras vs Siverados racing. Its not even close. The Tundra and Denali are the only trucks that trap over 90mph stock(95-96 Tundra and 94-95mph Denali). The fact is, you will need to mod your truck, in order to pull a stock Tundra! The RC(regular cabs) Tundra's, are running 13.8's-14.1 at 97mph and I know, with your bolt on's, your not close to that. Instead of bench racing, saying you can beat this and that, show me a video of you doing so!
First off I wasen't bench racing.And with my bolt ons and the ASA cam I will be prety safe to say at about 400HP to the ground and run Low 13's See the thread in PT.net under drag on the 04 ss with this cam! Thats all the power I need maybe some heads to with the tax return money :devil: The toyota motor is all hoped up just like a racing motor! I see those pricks trying to beat pontiac/GM so bad on the rolex series nascar truck Nascar ect and that development went straight to the truck motor. Now get your 45psi of overboostin ass out of here again for good dude and go play with your racing development 5.7 trash in a regular 1/2 ton model truck :D Can you tell we dont like the import Jocking here..

No wonder the only thing your qualified to do is play with cardboard boxes, your math skills are terrible. 43,500 minus 31,000 is 12,500! Where are you getting 20k?

Yes the 5.7 comes standard with a 6 speed. No optionsal 4 speed here buddy.
I dont want a Cheby. The resale will not be as high as a Tundra. Customer Service is top notch. You paid damn near 20k more than me. Wow, good for you. Hows that extra 5-600 dollar a month extra on the payment? I dont like the styling of the Denali, to me, its plain and out right boring. I guess thats why our trucks are selling like hot cakes, while GM's truck sales are down. Keep thinking your truck is superior, while I keep watch my stocks rise!
It's been fun chatting with you, but I have to go get some sleep for a full day of doing nothing tomorrow
What the hell is the point of a 6 speed in a towing medium duty truck? Nothing, extra weight. You don't need that deep of a 1st and you shouldn't use the top gears when towing. Waste of money if you ask me.
I have driven 6 speeds for awhile and most of the time you only use 3-4 of the gears. The facts are 6 7 and 8 speeds aren't going to save you much money over driving in a more proper fashion. Vehicles have been skyrocketing in GVW and this isn't going to help any.
A truck needs to be tough. The more gears you add the weaker the tranny and the more power you loose. Idealy you want a direct drive for your top gear in a towing application and the perception that a medium duty truck needs 6 gears to tow is asine. A Semi is a different story though.

Yeah, they have a 6 speed. To improve their gas mileage --
WHICH IS STILL 2MPG LESS THAN OURS!:bang::D
Our trucks are better, we still have 90%+ of the fullsize market, etc. Enough people have posted why that I don't have to, and it's basically all over the internet how much better American trucks are. Anyone have that video that was posted on here of the really bumpy road test with the Tundra flexing like CRAZY?

Wrong. Bills are relative to the amount you spend. Put your e-wang away. No one cares how big it is because you own a "superior" Tundra that can't hack it in the work world. All the Tundra is good for is for sheeple who want to pretend to have a good truck. Want a work truck? Buy a Ford, Chevy, or Dodge. The only thing a Tundra is good at is 1/4 mile runs, and who cares about that shit in something that's supposed to be a work truck?

Corregated packing is heavy and that is no joke. Many workers in the paperboard industry have injuries from underestimating the weight of paper. Anyone who has ever hauled cardboard, yet is stout guys.

These were full 36x44 pallets. We use them for our platic materials ex: polypropylene, polyethelene, etc.... The corregated boxes, we manufactor for different companies. These boxes weigh around 30-50lbs a piece. When stack 30-40 high, can weigh a considerable amount.
We also bail up recycled paper/waste paper. Each bail weighs approximately 1200-1500 lbs, depending on what type of material used. I just hauled 8 1300lb bails of cardboard( types you see at Walmart in the back) 60 miles without issue. I know this is not a Desiel truck, but it is more than enough, for what I use it for.
Remember, towing is totally different from carrying. Just about any 1/2 ton truck, can manuever 15k lbs without issue.

You missed half the points in this arugement. It is not one technicality. Especially if it benefits us more. It is the overall picture. The economics, the distribution of labour, what countries GNP is really benefitting.....
You can spin the arguement anyway you want when people use these tactics. uff.
Even though the ASM site was in Canada it doesn't compare to imports that did the majority of the design overseas. Camaros are largely domestic content.
The last time I checked it is better to do business with countries of a similar econ.
We keep pointing out --- sigh
If you do 99.9 percent of the work in Maylasia and asm it here is it an American car?? Let us take in the case of the Sprinter Van which is built in Germany under the Dodge label taken apart and re-asm'ed in Georgia. American or not?? [Hint they did it for a tax break.]
HINT HINT they designed, bought parts, asm'ed, hired all in germany and then brought it here. They made it to where the American Facility was a skelton crew that snapped together the van in a leggo like process. How does that benefit us?

Your wrong! Edmunds, Motortrend and TruckTrend, all have shown the Tundra to be faster:
Well lets put this into perspective, Edmunds tested a 4x4 DC with a curb weight of 5637lb. And note in the link below, the statement under
-Acceleration Comments-
"All the best runs were made with traction control off*, but with prudent throttle modulation to keep the rear tires from evaporating. Wow, this thing is quick!"
obviously implies the runs were made in 2wd mode
Comparison Test: 2007 Half-Ton Pickup Trucks
And when testing the all new Hot Rodded 2007 GMC Sierra Denali with a 403hp/417lb-ft trq 6.2L with a 6sp auto, this is what they had to say:
"this 5,309-pound two-wheel-drive truck hauls to 60 mph in just 6.5 seconds and rips through the quarter-mile in 15.0 seconds at 92.1 mph".
"But the GMC Sierra Denali is not the quickest truck on the market. That title is held by the new Toyota Tundra with its 381-hp, 5.7-liter V8. In our testing, the four-wheel-drive Tundra Double Cab pounds to 60 mph in just 6.3 seconds and runs the quarter-mile in 14.8 seconds at 93.7 mph, even though it weighs 328 pounds more than the Sierra Denali.
Sometimes power isn't enough to guarantee dominance. Or maybe either GMC or Toyota or both are wrong about the power numbers they're publishing."
Full Test: 2007 GMC Sierra Denali
http://www.edmunds.com/apps/vdpcontainers/do/vdp/articleId=120718/pageNumber=1
And for the record, the fastest Tundra has run a best of 13.8 for the regular Cab.
Take notes on the weights of the vehicles. The Tundra is almost 400lbs heavier than the Denali, but still traps higher :nod:. Do the math.
1) Denali is overated
2) Tundra is underated

I have a CM Tundra and Ive run a stock Duramax with an exhaust and simply killed him by 3 cars. Ive run a Dodge Hemi, with the same results.

O forgot about Popular Mechanics Magazine, rated the Tundra above Silverado. :gtfo: Find me a real truck to compare it to! Just like Consumer Reports had to, when they tested the Tundra against the Big 3 desiels, where it towed 8000lb's faster than any of them.
""According to the CR test results, the new 5.7 tundra it is a little faster than the diesel 2500 chevy and F250 when pulling a 7400lb trailer to 60mph.
Tundra 16.1 seconds, Chevy 17, Ford 18.9.
It smoked the 1/2 ton chevy and ford.
Chevy 22.6 seconds, Ford 24.1
These numbers do dispel a few myths.
I know The Tundra it not a 3/4 ton and not as great for a long heavy tow but I think this is pretty impressive.
CR's overall trip/mixed MPG for the tundra was 18. That is exactly my average.
The diesel F250 13, 2500 chevy 17,
1/2 ton chevy 18, ford 17.
CR did think the TRD ride was "Jittery".
http://www.pickuptruck.com/html/news/miscnews/cr073.html
"Mr. Champion says, “at 10,300-pounds, the Tundra’s towing capacity rivals that of the heavy-duty diesel trucks."

45 PSI, its funny how you have no comment on the Denali time slip. I'll ask again. Where is your time slip from the Turdra?
What the fuck can he say...what a fucking dork...He does the shit just to piss people off and his best source of info sucks.

:eyes:You better recheck that, and also car and driver also ranked the chevy ahead in a comparison. I posted the links before, do I really need to do it again? Is your memory that short?
Also, 2007 North american truck of the year did go to the Chevy also.
http://www.chevrolet.com/silverado/comparison/awards/
The next 2 included the Tundra, so stop fooling yourself. The Silverado beat it head to head.

http://www.cartest.ca/2007_us_car_and_truck_of_the.htm
Also, read the Car And Driver article, the QC 4x4 Tundra ran a 14.9, which means that the previous posters similarly set up Denali is faster.
Oh, Im sorry, is that not what you wanted to read? Car And Driver, Motor Trend, North American Truck Of The Year.
Nice try on the Cartest reports. It was posted on January 7, when the Tundra was not released!
Again, read the Caranddriver report. Its more of a truck than the Silverado. It won due to the interior and more car like feel. No win imo!
Due a search on the Tundra on here. MAtter of fact, scroll up to the top to trucks and search on Tundra. There are plenty of vids, of the Tundra running high 13's to low 14's.
Once again, Motortrend own words:
A superior powertrain, more room, and clever packaging
Yet the Tundra's 5.7 is such a stormer, even the bigger engine wouldn't have been enough for the Chevy to overcome the Toyota's performance advantage.
Once again, an anemic, cute truck wins the interior department. Wow :eyes:

Dude, your talking about forklifts. Why dont you post the article or thread were you read this from.
What about GM using Toyota for the Pontiac Vibe? Still no answer on that Isuzu Duramax motor for the GM?
Why does it matter? It was stated Toyota doesn't use anyone else's stuff and I proved it wrong.
The Vibe/Martix was a JOINT PROJECT. Not like a rebadged vehicle which Toyota did with the Cavalier. :eyes: Didn't know about that one did you?
Many of the projects between Isuzu and GM had a significant number of man hours done in the US.

The car test link was to show you that it won North American truck of the year that you tried to claim for the Tundra.
Show me a link to a QC 4X4 running a high 13. Can you?
If it were all about 1/4 mile times and HP ratings then the Veyron or Shelby would be the best all around car out there or cars would come with drag suspension from the factory. Fact is with all the misleading ads the Toyota is just trying to convince people that their truck is better simply on its engine. It takes more than that to make a good truck, which is why regardless of HP Ford still makes a great truck.
Also read what they have to say about the Tundra interior. That is always where the imports hung their hat and rag on domestics. Now it is just a piece of shit and the GM is far superior.
It funny how you TRY to protect your own stance even after it is proven wrong. It was shown where the Chevy came out ahead in comparisons, which you claimed it never did.

By QC, you mean CM(crew max) or Double Cab? The CM is the heaviest and has run a best time of 14.7 at 93mph. The Double cab has run 14.4 at 95
As posted in 132:
Well lets put this into perspective, Edmunds tested a 4x4 DC with a curb weight of 5637lb. And note in the link below, the statement under
-Acceleration Comments-
"All the best runs were made with traction control off*, but with prudent throttle modulation to keep the rear tires from evaporating. Wow, this thing is quick!"
obviously implies the runs were made in 2wd mode
Comparison Test: 2007 Half-Ton Pickup Trucks
And when testing the all new Hot Rodded 2007 GMC Sierra Denali with a 403hp/417lb-ft trq 6.2L with a 6sp auto, this is what they had to say:
"this 5,309-pound two-wheel-drive truck hauls to 60 mph in just 6.5 seconds and rips through the quarter-mile in 15.0 seconds at 92.1 mph".
"But the GMC Sierra Denali is not the quickest truck on the market. That title is held by the new Toyota Tundra with its 381-hp, 5.7-liter V8. In our testing, the four-wheel-drive Tundra Double Cab pounds to 60 mph in just 6.3 seconds and runs the quarter-mile in 14.8 seconds at 93.7 mph, even though it weighs 328 pounds more than the Sierra Denali.
Sometimes power isn't enough to guarantee dominance. Or maybe either GMC or Toyota or both are wrong about the power numbers they're publishing."
Full Test: 2007 GMC Sierra Denali
http://www.edmunds.com/apps/vdpconta...8/pageNumber=1
And for the record, the fastest Tundra has run a best of 13.8 for the regular Cab.
Take notes on the weights of the vehicles. The Tundra is almost 400lbs heavier than the Denali, but still traps higher . Do the math.
1) Denali is overated
2) Tundra is underated
Pick one!

OK, just to clarify, 14.48 IS LESS THAN 14.7/14.8. So that would make the previous posters Denali QUICKER than a similar Tundra.

No! The fastest stock Tundra, of any configuration, is a 13.8 at 98mph, which is more than 4 sec faster than your Denali.
I know your comprehension level is 0, but read the article I posted. It is not the fastest truck nor does it tow more than the Tundra. Despite being 400lbs heavier, it is still faster.

Because a crew cab is the same as a crew max. Its not GMC's fault that the Tundra is so heavy.

The Tundra is heavier, since it was designed to be a 3/4 ton truck. Hence the reason why it says 3/4 on the Title's and the reason why CR decided to test it against the Desiels.

You also compared the towing of a Tundra to the Duramax earlier because of some drag "race" pulling 8000 pounds....Forward that "test" with such valuable results on to Japan too since you seem to regard the opinions of magazines so highly.

I didnt compare them to a diesel, the magazines choose too. Edmunds, Car&Driver and CR all show the Tundra to perform better when towing 8000lbs! It accelerated faster, brake faster and simply out performed the 2500 Duramax, 250 Ford and Dodge Cummings.
There hasnt been significant data showing the longeivity of gas vs diesels when pulling heavy equipment. I know its not a diesel, but it performs well for what I am doing.

Talked to a guy who delivers to the Toyota assembly plant and he says the employee parking lot is full of mostly Ford and Chevy trucks. Yep, get paid by the Japanese and spend your money on an American truck:engarde:!

Actually you are wrong about the lightning. The RC Tundra, runs pretty much even with a stock lightning. Check the videos.

That is a stock Tundra, vs a Lightning with intake, exhaust and a tune.

13.8 @ 104 from Car And Driver. And we all know those magazine guys cant drive. Dragtimes.com has a stock one listed as 13.37, and the best they show a Tundra is 13.9.

"The Tundra beat all the heavy duty diesel pickups in CR’s 0 to 60-mph acceleration tests towing the 7,400-pounds trailer. The three-quarter-ton acceleration tests appear to have similar results to what we found during our recent Heavy Duty Shootout, which was done testing one-ton diesels.""'

I just showed you a video of what a stock Tundra did against a modified Lightning

Internet videos prove NOTHING. Can you prove that the trucks in the video are what they say? Stock, modded, other? Driver quality? I could post videos of my Z28 claiming it is stock, but that doesnt mean anything. Truth is that people have gone as fast as 13.1x in a stock lightning, can you say the same for a Tundra?

No I cant go that fast in mine, since it isnt a RC. I didnt say the Tundra was faster than a Lightning, I said it has the potential to hang with one, meaning a fairly good race. People have run 13.8 without the use of a blower.
These trucks are automatic. Meaning there is less chance of driver error. The point I was trying to make is, that the runs were pretty close, despite a bolt on Lightning vs a stock Tundra.

it seems like all you care about is 0-60 times and the 1/4 mile (hince your other argument regarding the lightning and SRT10 which are clearly faster) ... Maybe your forgetting that those diesels weigh at least a 1000 pounds more than a tundra and those diesels blow out any 1/2 ton (including the tundra) in towing. don't kid yourself

you might want to check up on that, longevity on a diesel smashes any gas engine.... I would think especially under continuous heavy loads

Yeah, really. Million mile engine rebuilds on big rigs is nothing to sneeze at.
Also the service intervals even on light truck diesels are getting longer. 400,000 miles on a light truck diesel in very common without an rebuild, and those are trucks that are getting used for their purpose.

I was just about to post where the 6.0 Silverado beat the diesels to 80 loaded as well.
Gearing and well... your mileage goes to everloving shit doing it, unlike a diesel where you can actually enjoy decent mileage.

I sense that "Chrissy" is trying for the LS1TECH ban record. :lol: What is the record now, like 10 bans or something? Is there a limit until a "permaban" is handed down??

Not to be a jerk but caps help out with naming files. ThisFileHere.exe vs thisfilehere.exe. I didn't find it that unlegable.
No one around here EVER gets permabanned. I swear. You can be a real bastard and get away with almost anything. The mods try but they have to be fair. I will have to stick up for the mods though. They are fair and they let you know the boundaries before instanstly kicking people out.

The guy with 6 posts calling the guy with 2 a noob, that is irony.
When the caps lock is on the site changes it to first letter caps automatically.
