[QUOTE="josh99ta, post: 379310, member: 545886"] dbhittin, very good post man, saying exactly what I wanted to say which is.... It really all comes down to preference. There is always going to be something you prefer. I agree, small light cars and fun to drive, I drive one every day. Also, that apology up above was more geared towards you than capone. As capone said, none of my business, do your thang man. You do need to get a job though, lazy ***..... :p capone, a few things.... Have you driven an 03 Cobra? I dont care where the chassis came from or what your heard about it or the fact that its a Cobra? Not a V6 Stang or even a GT, but have you driven a NEW Cobra? Also, have you driven an RX8 or 350Z/G35? If you haven't driven all three, then who are you to say what handles like what. Just because it's a Cobra or a ***** Am or a Camaro it handles like crap? Or because it has a GVW over 3,000 lbs? [B]Please give me some logic behind your arguement.[/B] Car and Driver did the test, same driver in all the cars, same track, same everything. Apples to apples. The track times dont lie. The Cobra put the hurt on the other two, lighter more nimble cars. Explain that to me? Handling is kind of like car audio, where as audio is 10% equipment, 90% install, a fast handling car is more like 10% car, 90% driver. Everything in that comparison was equal, so the "fastest" car out of the three was the Cobra. No two ways around it. Secondly, if a stock LS1 Camaro is getting beat by a stock GTP there are serious problems with the Camaro driver and his car, plain and simple. GTPs are mid 14 second cars, 98-00 LS1s are mid 13 second cars and most 01-02 models are solidly in the 12s. Lastly, power-to-weight ratio has NOTHING to do with efficiency, nothing at all. When I'm talking about efficiency, I'm not talking about how fast you go with XXX amount of power, that is an entirely different subject. And one last thing, who cares what interior is in the car? We aren't talking about a luxury car, we're talking about going fast. Stop trying to bring irrelevant points into the discussion, you want to talk about riding in comfort go to a Lexus forum or something. This post is about speed. Oh yeah, check the first post in this thread by myself, I hit the speed I hit in the process of putting the beatdown on an M3. Good thing my taillights aren't as ugly as the rest of my car, thats all that M3 was seeing. Bye-bye Bimmer [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
