So what your saying is that your (read americans) opinions aren't worth a shit

[graywolf624]

*since when is the opinion of one magazine the opinion of everyone in america? Ill remember that the next time we talk about your country. I guess all of sweeden is lazy people that try to run peoples lives. Hey its true for our sweeden branch, so its gotta be true for you too right?

Motor trend had the new beatle and pt cruiser as cars of the year.. enough said.

Dude I trust any carshow that puts the 997 and the C6 head to head and has the 997 as the winner. When it's the other way around I'm not so sure.

To Gray.. Have you heard any Swedes saying that we are lazy and try to run other peoples lives? At least I held this discussion at a "stick to the subject" level but it's always fun to see when people run out of arguements and not really understand that they are discrediting themsleves in the end. But plz dont't get personal Mr Greywolfe. I have no beef with Americans and I really don't think you have with Swedes either..

[graywolf624]

Yet again...

Still trust them?

Yet again. So what americans say shouldn't really be taken seriously becasue it's crap..

You see in Sweden/Europe a PT Cruiser would hardly be crowned car of the year..We set are standards slightly higher..

The point was not to be personal.. Its called sarcasm.. Its supposed to show how rediculous you are for comparing saying a magazine is a pos with crappy opinions to saying somehow all americans are that way.. Its just as stupid.

Yet again motor trend isnt america.. It isnt some vote by americans.. Its a business entity, just like my coworkers at my company from sweeden. Whether they are lazy idiots or not, it has nothing to do with the rest of the people in sweeden.. Nor does my take on a trash magazine have anything to do with the opinions of America.

Come on is it that difficult? What is true for a sub group always does not necessarily mean its true for the main, its simple entry level logic.

Im quite sure you have shitty magazines that do the same thing (dont make me do it, cause I can in a heartbeat).. Just as we have much better magazines that set the bar differently. Yet again, it isnt Americas car of the year or Americas opinion, its the opinion of the writers of the magazine.

[Ghostbat]

So Greywolfe. What would you chose if you had the possibility. 997 Carrera S or C6 Vette?

.. ..my company from sweeden.. people in sweeden...

Maybe your coworkers can teach you how to spell my countries name? Now that's proper sarcasm for you 8)

Plz can't we all just get along and be friends..

[graywolf624]

Plz can't we all just get along and be friends..

We can if you quit assuming we are talking about countries. Realize we are talking about a magazine and the people who work their only. Ok?

997 Carrera S or C6 Vette?

While I wasnt even commenting on that, I personally would take the vette and use the tons of extra money elsewhere. The point was to tell you your agruement goes nowhere using motor trend.. at least try car and driver or road and track.

Maybe your coworkers can teach you how to spell my countries name?

I couldnt care if we spell Sweden A-m-e-r-i-c-a.. For the purpose of this discussion it was simply an analogy.

[Ghostbat]

When I talked about having the possibility to chose a car it was meant as money no object thing but the way you answered you gave away that you'd rather have the Porsche but it's to expensive.

If you stop Spelling Sweden like "Sweeden" we can propably get along..

Ok I agree that the "Americaan" car show Motortrend is rubbish..

Exactly which mode3ls do you think I am referring to when I say "base model vs base model"??? :roll:

Apparently not - because if you had then you would know that similar generfuckingration base models are displaying simifuckinglar performance.

It is right there on the image that was posted.

Not even noticale or of any significance when dring and enjoying your car - but supposedly important to posers and wannabes.

The interiors are nothign to write home about- and have even had Porsche owners and enthusiasts make the same observations.

More times than you would ever know or understand - high end? Carreras are a dime a dozen - even the friggen cops drive em

Originally Posted by Ghostbat It's easy to talk about "magazine crap" but most of us understand that it's not crap but the truth. Maybe that hurts? Watch the 997 Carrera S spank the C6 in Motortrends comparison test. Yes that is an american show folks I see it like this. American cars are absolutely great bang for buck but people that can afford a Ferrari (not me included) will never buy a Chevrolet. And that's not about being a snob..

Well - again you are obviously blind to the facts. Compariative performance is what both base models achieve.

And you would then need to inform the C5 Z06 and F360CS owners on the Z06 Forum that they are mistaken in the claim to own and enjoy their Z06's just as much as their CS's.

Looks like you are having the hard time accepting how well the Corvette fits in.

What's your Sveeedisch "local brand"? Oh yeah - The Vulva - thats it

[graywolf624]

When I talked about having the possibility to chose a car it was meant as money no object thing but the way you answered you gave away that you'd rather have the Porsche but it's to expensive.

Thats like asking what I would do had I been born a billionare.. Whats the point, no ones going to give me a Porsche?

I intentionally wrote it as such last time, but I guess writing it correctly can be arranged.

[Ghostbat]

What's your "local brand"? Oh yeah - The Vulva - thats it

I'm getting a little tired of you yanks right now but I have nothing against "Vulvas". Actually a fan

Consider Koenigsegg as my local brand as it's built in Skåne. Guess you have no idea what Skåne is but hey that's not really a problem for me..

Again with the assuptions.

What do you know about what I do and don't know? I am guessing you don't know where Grabouw is either..

You are coming across as such an arrogant, pompous, stuckup Eurotrash wannabe that it's really good that I am no a "Yank" than you are civil

BTW you should close your fly, your bias is showing again..

I guess we just uncovered your true motivation - and it has nothing to do with cars or magazines.

[Ghostbat]

Have never claimed that I know what You Mr RC45 know or don't know. If you look closer you can see that I was guessing and that still stands. Think that most people from non nordic countries have a very small Idea about what Skåne is.

When someone is a great as I am some people mistake that for being arrogant

You are propably right about me being slightly biased I admit that. But hey you are propably a little biased too and I think most people are. Altough I'm notso biased towards european cars that I can't see fairly clearly.

You are very right. I have no idea where Grabouw is. But I know it's not a state in America. Skåne is - relatively speaking - a state in Sweden.^

Does closing my fly help? I thought the "Biass" was in the back.. Maybe you should pull you pants up so I don't have to watch you pale "biass"

Plz don't take it too seriously..

[SFDMALEX]

Am I supposed to be impressed by this time?

RC your telling me that the Z06 is going to lap some 25sec faster then the stock C6? That is fucked up.!

If thats so then the cars should not even share the same name, cause they are clearly tottaly different.
