If you want to make a point, you need to clarify what you said.

That's not the point that you were trying to make, but this isn't the first time you've done this.
The fact is that you bring up empty points and try to cover it up when they are refuted.

He was asking that you clarify your original statement about German engineers and the ZR1. RC's post was relevant, yet you reacted as if it was unrelated. That is why Heil asked you to clarify. Now you're going on tangents again.

The better american sports car had help from foreign engineers(Germans or brits).It is a fact.Of course im not saying that the car is german.
For me the real true american sports car today is the Roush Mustang.

It's interesting...
Ferrari, Lamborghini, BMW, Audi, Mercedes Benz, Renault, Nissan, Toyota, Hayundai, Honda, and even Subaru come to Metro Detroit, Michigan, USA for help in creating technologies in their cars. No euro car can live w/out Detroit still 100 years on We have the best facilities, the best knowledgebase, the best engineering schools right here in Michigan.
Also, in response to your "LOLOLOL who said the engine is built in Sweeden?"
I must difur, you said that Koenigsegg build the engine themselves, to which I pointed out they only assemble it themselves. If they biuld it themselves, would that not mean they build it in Sweeden?

Sigh......
I'm generally tired of people making stupid statements saying "American cars are junk" or "American's can't build/ engineer" type BS.
So why not respond?

Was it a point or a joke? Becasue he made no attempt to humourise it.
Then why did he start the shit he did?
Each statement he made was false, inaccurate and pointless.
So, again, what was his goal?
To just start shit?
More importantly, what is your point? Take it or leave it? We chose to take it and respond to its inaccuracies - in order for the forum to be productive people need to stop pointless shit - jokes and humour are one thing, as is obvious overt hyperbole - those are funny and enjoyable, but straight antagonistic nonsense is quite another.

Not necessary to exaggerate man.
I never said that i said was "Koenigsegg used to have an american engine from Ford but thats it.Its not an american built supercar.". I think i read or see a video about the engine but dont remenber what they say.
