I wasn't aware people that drive an F-body have a horrible rep.
It seems like everyday I go through LS1tech I see you on this site starting shit with somebody... hopefully a mod will keep mental note and purge your ass from this site.
ME starting shit? Have you actually been reading the threads? I've been here for nearly 4 years and haven't been banned once, whereas the majority of the people that have a problem with me have been banned once or more... because they are the ones starting shit. If I had an F-body nobody would ever say anything.

I wasn't aware that taking out the carpet/backseat/sound deadening made a car less safe in a crash... too many people attach weight with safety. Weight *can* be a decent indicator of how good a car will do in a crash because weight *can* show how well the structure of a car is built. But some cars have very strong platforms and hardly weigh anything. So weight is not even close to the best indicator of how well a car will do in a crash. If you keep your trunk loaded with 1000lbs worth of sandbags does it make your car safer?
First post I made that wasn't "good race."

This is why you can take a 400hp car and make it fast.
4550lbs. N/A 530rwhp
Honda 1800lbs 340whp
Say a second per 1,000 pounds.... so weight alone the Honda will run 2.5 or so second quicker and if about 100 hp is worth a tenth then the Caddy has a .2 or so advandage so in theory the Caddy would need to pick up 2.3 seconds to make up for the weight.
Still just a regular discussion at this point.

Nobody said anything pissy to this guy... he drives an F-body, surprise

I do think of safety when thinking of which car I'de like to build up for racing or my daily driver, but I think I'm the exception.

And what do you know, good ole capn smokey is the first person to talk shit in this thread. And I wasn't even the first person to call him on it. I just said this;

the biggest reason i never liked mustangs is that almost every mustang person that i met thought that mustangs were the fastest cars made. just reading comments on here makes me embarrassed to drive a camaro. camaros are the new mustangs cause everyone thinks that they are better than most cars (imports) because why, "they sound better"...........?
This was said in response to the good ole shit-talkin capn smokey.

A simple heads/cam 150 shot LS1 car would hand that civic its ass and the caddy. And yeah be embarrassed to drive a Camaro I know anything can be made fast and ive been beat by civics before but that car is a deathtrap and a timebomb. Why would you want something like that? Might as well be driving a fucking mo-ped with a busa motor, its just stupid and doesnt impress anyone except maybe his fellow ricers. Im not mad and i dont even drive an LS car so i could care less who wins or loses, hell i like seeing any RKC member lose.

and like i said in an earlier post, why i would want something like that. simply because thats all i can afford.
also referring to a honda as a ricer is getting old. theres a clear difference between the stock looking turbo hondas making decent power versus your teenager kids who shop at autozone for performance mods and neon kits. if you can't see a difference between the two then i'm sorry for you.
And again.

This was the first semi-controversial thing I said, but it's still the truth. Some people agreed with me, a few didn't. But nothing I said in this thread (or almost any other) can realistically called "starting shit."

I have as many posts as some of the other GM guys in here with similar join dates . And like I've said MANY times before (which you would see if you actually saw my posts), I'm not a "mustang/S2000" guy. I owned a couple Mustangs and I have an S2000 now... that's it. Thinking that somebody is defined by the cars they own is pretty childish.

Go take this endless debate somewhere else. You guys wanting to do nothing but compare dicks had better start doing it somewhere else. It is no longer welcome here.
