Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Next car will probably be an s2000... Perhaps then you'll realise what a sports car is. Well I regularly drive my Dad's Evo fq300 so I'm already fairly clued up. I don't think nor have I claimed that my car is the most superest around but for my age and what I can insure it's probably the best I could have done. That's not a sports car either though is it?

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 It's not a hatchback though. Same chassis though, right? What about the camshaft, cylinder head, pistons, turbo, intercooler, clutch, gearbox etc? If two components are made to exactly the same specification, but during their working life one has 30% more force exerted on it, which would you expect to break first? I wouldn't expect any of those components to break, and most certainly not in the period of time I'm likely to own it... Same chassis though, right? No? Obviously not... Do you think GM make a special floorpan for a niche model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smooth Operator 10 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 What a fucking prick the Thompers wanker is!! He sounds like the sort that pulls up at the lights with his go-faster stripes, arsehole twicthing like a rabbits nose as he wonders whether he's spend enough of daddies pocket money to get the required amount of BHP to burn off the average car at the lights. Wall to wall Vin Diesel posters in his bedroom and his mam and dad's house I reckon, he's too fast and too furious for me!! Get back to hanging round Silverlink car park of a night time with all the other pork knuckles who live their lives through their motors. Tosser.

The generally accepted definition of a sports car is two-seat, two-door, front-engine / rear-wheel drive, lightweight and relatively simple to give the driver the purest driving experience. It has absolutely nothing to do with top speed, rallying or hatchbacks with coupe body-shells on. I would have thought you would know that working in the motor industry.
