Apparently expressing YOUR opinion is ok....and it's not ok for anyone else. Nice god-complex you've got going there....you're board, and all...but that's honestly full of shit.

In any event, you are overlooking the most important part of a driving a powerful car.....it's FUN.
Everything we do is an expression of image. That's part of life. Simple truth. Buying an underpowered car doesn't give off an alpha male expression, you are right.

I have not tried to stop you from expressing your opinion. She said if I didn't like ya'll comments to leave the thread. I told her if she didn't like mine, to leave the board. I have not stopped anyone's opinion. I have just expressed mine.

I have not overlooked that, there is a lot of people that find it just as FUN to drive one with an auto trans and get this at very slow speeds not taking advantage of any of that power.

That is what this is all about, you guys writing off people who have just as much fun in the same car with different options.

I've ridden a lot worse. I honestly didn't think it was bad. My friend who owned it, rode it all the time and he has owned a ton of bikes.

This thread got angry!

I would never own a Chevy myself (oh shit, did I just start a fight?), but I really like the new Camaro's look. Very sharp!

Honestly, that's where it begins and ends for me. What I feel from the seat.

You guys said it, thats it exactly. Thats what the new autos are lacking. They arent fun, push you into the seat, tear loose the back tires and GO kinda fun unless they are manual and you have the control over it.

Hell, you can get more fun for a shitload cheaper/faster/better than a damn new gen Camaro, but it won't be as "pretty."

I am sure Avy knows what's up in this dept though.

Don't know about the new ones, but the old ones were easily steered with the throttle. Consider how lightweight they were.

Oh and some Euro cars are faster with no clutch pedal at all. Humans can't shift as fast as computers. Paddles FTW.

Why did you own a 600RR? You didn't ride that like it "WAS MEANT TO BE"

Unless you think you're Rossi, of course.
