Seriously,
You guys are just as bad as them.
look at half the comments in this thread.
Half the guys on that forum are decent blokes and I know quite a few, and are proper enthusiasts unlike half here.
Sure, some go on like tools which was demonstrated - but so do half you lot in a reversed situation.
A true enthusiast will respect any car with decent performance no matter what badge lies on the bonnet.
Oh, for the record, I have owned a nicely modified gen3 LS1 - its quicker than my R33 at EC track.
But now Ive spent more on my boat - it will be quicker.
Just remember - every group of car owners (skylines, xr6 turbo's, gen3 commodores, Porsche, NS.com...etc etc) has a
"tool factor" that gives the rest a bad name.
