Talking

This MIGHT be the silliest back and forth I have seen here on the forum.

Let your friend enjoy his new purchase. No need to start comparing manhood's here. I find it to be completely silly when people act this way. When I got my Boxster I had one friend questions me on my purchase of a Porsche. I informed him that I got this vehicle because I could afford it. That was the end of that. I am confident in my manhood and don't need to play the who's car is faster game. But, on the occasion that I am actually curious about it I like to just go to a local track and find out.

Magazine racing is inaccurate and doesn't make up for the driver factor. For instance there has always been the argument that the Mitsubishi Evo is a better car on the track than the Subaru STi. Sure that is true, but how many of those Evo or STi drivers that throw out numbers from magazines know how to actually drive their own vehicle. So what if it is faster? The real question should be are you and that car faster than the other person and his car. In that case, you should just stop the argument and set a track date.

OK, I am done venting now. Sorry everyone.

Sounds like we have a race! Say 3 out of 5 on a local drag strip for pinks. The only down side is you'll end up having to take that pig home.
