I'm thinking maybe reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. Never did I mention anything about fans of sports teams being idiots, and the only reason I went anymore in-depth than needed was because your analogy as it stood was illogical.
I might add that at the time you were having a considerable spat with the SRT-4 chaps from across the lane, so it was unlikely in the extreme you would side with them over anything. I didn't really mean to be insulting toward your mannerisms, but I don't need the sarcasm, even from the resident *******.
This really is more about tolerance among car owners than anything, ESPECIALLY with regard to RL owners looking foolish making claims that other people just read and scoff at. (Let me reiterate so you don't get the wrong idea: I'm not calling this original poster a liar, and I'm not naming any names from this site. I also understand that, yes indeed, there are questionable kill stories everywhere. I just like this forum, and the redline, so I 'd rather we didn't garner the attitude of the conqueror so soon.
Edit: The guy who posted this seems to have a habit of watching tachs. I give you this just in case someone forgot:
What it comes down to is that he already admitted the GTP may have let off the gas to avoid detection by the police...so it wasn't the race it was purported to be in the beginning.
I'm sorry my analogy wasn't spelled out in little letters for you, most people would have understood it just fine as is. That, alone is little basis to question my reading abilities. The sad part is it even works the way I spelled it out, are you telling me that football fans don't call soccer a girls sport? Basketball vs. Baseball? You can't possibly tell me you've never seen that arguement before. I get bashed by baseball purists all the time for liking football more than baseball... so my analogy works either way, if you can't understand it, that's your own issue.
MY, as you call it, spat, with the SRT 'chaps' from across the way, was started by one of them saying they were blowing the doors of a redline without shifting beyond 4k. THEN, they got pissy when I started a post, which SEVERAL people besides me posted to, about beating one with a Yugo. What you also don't seem to realize, or care to mention, is the fact that I stopped doing it, and had the distasteful posts deleted by the moderator, and then offered a near apology asking what it would take to end the flaming. Just because I don't take shit from them when 16 yr old SRT owners post crap, dosen't mean that I categorize them all as one. If they're right, I'll side with them.
The problem here, is the fact that nothing can be proven, and that's my point. Someone coming in here and calling BS is basically saying that it didn't happen. My only point is that it could have. If someone wants to prove otherwise, it's impossible.
My arguement is based on the fact that you can't prove anything in one of these kill stories. The fact that they are questioned, almost everytime, by someone who either owns, or is a fan of, a related type of vehicle. For example, you're a fan of turbo-regals. So this whole GTP thing hits home for you, else you never would have given it another thought. Again, you don't see me in other people's forums, calling all of their kill stories lies or exaggerations.
My favorite part is where you don't mean to insult my 'mannerisms', right before you call me the resident *******.
Nice touch. If you think I'm the resident *******, you've got some other people to meet. I'm just the one that posts alot, and has alot to say. More than some people want to hear, and some people enjoy hearing it. I personally don't give a shit, I'm not here for a popularity contest. If you don't want to argue with the 'resident *******' then I suggest that you not get into arguements that cannot be won. The only conclusion to this story, is that it might have happened, if you can prove otherwise, I welcome you to present the case. I can just go pull up the last 200 posts about this exact same matchup, no one could prove it then either.
You can think I'm the 'foul-tempered, forum *******', or you can understand that I have a strong opinion, and if you disagree, I'm going to ask you to make me believe it too. There is more than one occasion where I have completely changed my thinking from a good arguement here. You cannot argue a kill story about two cars that are this close. Had he posted the fact that he beat a new Ferrari, I'd be all over him. A 99+ GranPrix is nothing to get excited about.
