Here is something that might help you with posting troll posts like this on web sites where you have no interest of adding anything productive.

<a href="http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~mckennar/videos/minivan%20beats%20camaro.mpeg">Ultimate Drag Racing Smack Down Video</a>

What difference does it possibly make? Do you think your picture would make us all rethink owning an NSX and sell all our cars, shut down the site, and issue retractions to every car that can be tuned to run faster for an hour before blowing up?

Not to be Dr. Phil or anything but:

- Are you doing this to impress any of your friends how cool you are?

- Are you crying out for attention?

- Do you think only some cars are cool if they meet your criteria for cool?

- How old are you?

- What do you drive?

You know - a Kia can spank a Pierce Arrow, vintage Ferrari's, and vintage Mercedes too. Does it matter?
 

I thought money bought speed

It does -- the NSX is about to lap them all.

I do think it is in extremely poor taste to make your first post such a contentious one. It tells much about your character. You seem to be a Gujurati -- it's sad to see a fellow Indian represent in such a disgraceful manner. Tsk, tsk.

Why don't you take some of that money and buy yourself some class?

Of course money buys speed - just ask the guy who blew by your live-axle F-Body in his Chevy Cavalier with a $30k engine transplant.

Unfortunately for you, however, the same does not apply to intelligence or class.

Perhaps better luck in your next lifetime?

I may even hire you as my lawn mower.
 
Is that even supposed to be serious? Uh...

1. When you have that many cars piled up behind you in a turn, it means you are slow and they are waiting to pass at the next available opportunity. Anyone who has been to the track knows this.

2. Judging by how closely the cars are bunched up and the fact that some appear to be off line, it is probably just a warm up or cool down lap anyway.

3. A better driving in a newer TA or higher-end Camaro certainly can certainly be faster than a lesser driver in an NSX, but the same driver would be even faster in an NSX. Likewise, a better driver in an Integra can whip a lesser driver in a WS6 or TA, but the Integra driver would be even faster still in the WS6. It has to do with driver skill, not the equipment.

4. Why are you so hung up on money?
 
OOOHHH, I can!!!

The person who posted it has an inadequecy in his pants!!!

Must be pretty boring there in tulsa eh sammy boy???

* From http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/entry/troll.html

troll

1. v.,n. [From the Usenet group alt.folklore.urban] To utter a posting on Usenet designed to attract predictable responses or flames; or, the post itself. Derives from the phrase "trolling for newbies" which in turn comes from mainstream "trolling", a style of fishing in which one trails bait through a likely spot hoping for a bite. The well-constructed troll is a post that induces lots of newbies and flamers to make themselves look even more clueless than they already do, while subtly conveying to the more savvy and experienced that it is in fact a deliberate troll. If you don't fall for the joke, you get to be in on it. See also YHBT. 2. n. An individual who chronically trolls in sense 1; regularly posts specious arguments, flames or personal attacks to a newsgroup, discussion list, or in email for no other purpose than to annoy someone or disrupt a discussion. Trolls are recognizable by the fact that they have no real interest in learning about the topic at hand - they simply want to utter flame bait. Like the ugly creatures they are named after, they exhibit no redeeming characteristics, and as such, they are recognized as a lower form of life on the net, as in, "Oh, ignore him, he's just a troll." Compare kook.

look how lean that Camaro s**tbox has coming out of that corner. The driver is probably seasick....

Ahhh - c'mon, lighten up guys! Its a funny pic, no need to go ripping on him, he probably meant it as a joke.

As lame as it is when someone insults another car unjustly, its equally lame when people get all upset or feel "dissed" over some minor dig at their car. If this guy really is a troll, this is exactly what he wanted to see happen. And if it was just a joke, then wouldn't it be better to just laugh along with it?

NSX owners how good these cars are, and deep down everyone else knows it too. And if we ignore (or laugh along with) the insults, the high road is taken, and we look all the more confident that this is the greatest car on earth.

I don't know, Timbo... I'm looking over all the responses to this troll, and all I see is a bunch of joking and laughing going on, and no one getting upset. Yes, I'm sure this teenager was just posting here to get people upset, but I don't think he has succeeded at all.

In fact, Timbo, about the only one who doesn't seem to be laughing is you. Lighten up!

Really?! So these are ALL just laughing and joking:

----------

- Are you doing this to impress any of your friends how cool you are?

- Are you crying out for attention?

- Do you think only some cars are cool if they meet your criteria for cool?

- How old are you?

- What do you drive?

So these are ALL just upset and dissed:

- Classic example of a predator playing with its food

- LOL!

- It does -- the NSX is about to lap them all.

- Because Mommy cut off his allowance money for this month...

- look how lean that Camaro s**tbox has coming out of that corner. The driver is probably seasick....

- A dog herding its sheep


I would bet that at least some of those posts made 3,387 of our 3,389 forum members laugh. Of course, those are the 3,387 forum members who have a sense of humor. Timbo, you're the one who apparently needs to understand that the rest of us are already laughing. Lighten up - and make it 3,388.

I thought we were easy on him. Let's see - we have a one hit wonder with no profile posting in the general section a provocative picture and the worst comments are mostly telling him he is immature or the NSXs are actually lapping them.

I dare you to post something like that on another car board and see the response you get.

Either way - if you are going to quote me and not get the humor in my posts - at least quote the whole thing as I thought the "Dr. Phil" reference before it would catch most people's funny bone.

Either way Timbo - I am pretty uptight too these days - must be winter away from our NSXs!

Cheers!

After careful analysis of the picture, I do believe it is suggesting that it takes 3-4 Trans Ams/Camaros to equal an Nsx. Even so, I would take one Nsx over 3-4 of the others in the pic any day :)

Indeed. Which car looks better, is more rare, and will turn more heads? Besides, I really don't like the styling on the cameros...

The NSX styling however....is classic.

I wonder if those same exact thoughts went through members of the OJ jury when deliberating the final verdict...
