Rebutting Muscle Fans

[Cassbo]

If they drive VLs (which I assume they don't) you could say "your Commo is running a Nismo" .

More seriously, I find the best way to rebut someone is to go along with what they say. Drive to work with a bag of rice and when you get there, place said bag on your bonnet. If anyone asks why there is a bag of rice on your car say "it might get hungry"

Its amusing how this is almost the opposite of what happens to me. A guy at work (who owns a VR or VS Commo 5.0L V8) thinks that my car will beat his, and I'm still sure that his car will beat mine.

To make things even more confusing he has this line "forced induction is no replacement for displacement" in which I reply "so according to Bathurst, 2.6L is greater that 5.7L?"

But the real argument starts when the rotary supporter at work joins in. "if its not a rotor its not a motor" and the like. My reply is usually "but that engine has so little low down torque, if I pushed the front of your car it wouldn't go anywhere"

To tell the truth I was tossing up between my current car and a VX Commodore SS, and the biggest factor in my decision for the Skyline was for my blind belief that Skylines last forever and a day if you take care of them every now and then. That and the overall look of the car. What other car that is reasonablly affordable has such iconic tail lights as the Skyline?

When it comes down to it, if we all drove the same car, life would be a little more dull.

Its like the Melbourne vs Sydney thing,

- there is no right answer, they both have pro's and cons, though I think there is more of both of those in Sydney!!

Surely you dont include rotors in that list.
