Man look at this guy! Looks like a modernized Lotus 7. It's the Donkervoort D8 270 RS. It may not look much, but it actually has the second fastest time around the nurburgring (The Radical SR8 has the fastest). Teh awsomez!

that was meant for Mywi, but concerning your statement, have you ever driven an exciting car before? It will change your whole perspective on how an automobile should be.

Toyota Camry's aren't very exciting to drive.

If that's your opinion, then why not drive a Stanley Steamer to work? Please at least testdrive a sporty car (with a stick shift) before you make silly statements like that. My cousin used to have that same opinion, until I took him for a ride in my car. First thing he says after the drive is "Wow. Now I know why people buy these kinds of cars."

My cousin used to have that same opinion, until I took him for a ride in my car. First thing he says after the drive is "Wow. Now I know why people buy these kinds of cars." Remarkably, I don't care. All I require out a car is two things: a) it won't kill me and b) I can listen to music.

Decent gas mileage is a plus too.

Again that's just your personal opinion. Cars are amazing pieces or engineering. It's nice that you don't care about them, but you shouldn't bash people who do since it's people who do care about cars that keep your car running, which is not a simple task anymore with all of the electronics in cars nowadays.

Really? Because by calling my lack of interest in cars boring, you bashed me and those who don't feel the same way as you.

If I drove a Toyota Camry I'd be bored with cars too.

But since I have had the privilege of being taken for a few spins in an AC Cobra - I'm not.

I like the power, the adrenaline and the speed. I like being in control of a car that can keep up with a bike and that requires you to concentrate completely and totally - and that allows you to to test your limits.

I like being in a car that will purr if you stroke it, and growl when you push it.

I like being inside a machine that is the culmination of passionate people working together to create something sublime, beautiful and wonderful.

I also like bikes.

It's only proper that I do it since you are posting in a thread about a topic which does not even interest you. I'm as opinionated as you are about things that pique my interest, and I find your view on cars as only requiring minimal performance qualities to be boring, and also biased since you apparently haven't driven a car that puts you in the back of your chair. You listen to the stereo in your car. I do sometimes, but most of the times I relish in the mechanical sounds of the engine coming alive, the valve noise when the the valve-timing opens the intake valves longer, and the sounds of the transmssion and differential engaging and synchronizing. I love cars, hence I made this thread showing off an amazing piece of automotive art. To think that I wouldn't reply arrogantly to your statements in a forum about a performance car is childish.

Why can I not get the performance specs on this car - it's annoying! All I can find is that it does 0 - 100 kph in under 4 seconds - that does not give me enough info!

Do you know where I can get the performance specs? I would like to compare it with the Lotus, the Koenigsegg and the Bugatti - it looks like an absolutely brilliant car to drive! And I actually like the looks as well...

I've got an idea. Why don't you make one thread about cars instead of a bunch of them every month? Then I'll leave you alone.

This is not a 'forum' about a 'performance car.' This is a thread. and you've made a hell of a lot of them. And it's annoying.

And another thing. If you feel that you have a right to act arrogantly anywhere, then there is something wrong with you.

This is an off-topic forum that we're in, and I will act as arrogantly as I please towards people posting their opinions about stuff they have no interest in. You pretty much asked for conflict by coming in and posting here. Arrogance over stupidity imo.

Yeah I can only find acceleration tests, but no lateral acceleration . I'm going to go out on a limb and say it has a lot of lateral acceleration to beat the Porsche Carrera GT by such a large margin.

lol

Test here to see if you're a born Donkervoort driver

Actually it was quite stupid. Concerning my car posts, free to not click on them. Simple as that.

"Ugh. Cars are so boring" is a far cry from a respectable opinion. If you had said something on the line of "Eh cars aren't really my thing" then I wouldn't have a problem. I'd be cool with that. It's a neutral response. But instead, you chose the first statement, and made a pompous ass of yourself. "Ugh. Cars are so boring"

Ugh. The shit you like is boring.

On that note i'm off to bed, since I have adderall-induced studies to perform tommorow.

Ugh. The shit you like is boring. And how do you know what I like? What right do you have to make any judgment on what I like?

I fail to see anything truly exciting about cars. I see no difference between computer geeks who argue about the RAM specs or harddrive of their computers and car freaks and their cylinders and how fast the can get to 60 mph. It's stupid.

And no, cars are not my thing. And therefore, they are boring. To me. I was not making a blanket statement that cars are actually boring. People who like cars are fine with me. Usually when someone makes a statement like "Dells are a stupid computer", or "Sports are stupid" or "classical music is boring", it's generally well-known that they are meaning that that is a personally held belief rather than a fact. And the fact that you didn't know that is really amusing.

Whether I knew what you like was not the point. The reaction I got from it was.

Whether I knew what you like was not the point. The reaction I got from it was. The fact of the matter remains: You like luxury cars. I find them boring. I have nothing against cars in general. They're fantastic inventions. And I have nothing against you for liking cars.

But you have no clue what I like, so calling what I like boring was nothing more than a potshot

No that is a matter of interpretation, in which you chose to not get the message that I had intended to deliver even after the fact that I explained it.

And thus you fail to understand the meaning of my "potshot," and I grow tired of this petty crap. Thus I leave with this final statement : That Donkervoort is awsome!

Originally posted by AngryManatee
And seeing as how this is a thread about sports (not luxury) cars, I'm tired of debating over petty crap, and I'm ending it with this statement : Damn that Donkervoort is amazing! Luxury sports car. Po-tay-to po-tah-to

Yeah.

This seems to be more a thread about whether you should come into a thread you have no interest in and complain about how boring it is to you.

Personally I think that's a waste of time and a bit of mental masturbation - but it seems to titillate Strangelove. (Is there a Smiley for bemused?)

Guess strange love is an accurate description...

Guess strange love is an accurate description... My part in the discussion was limited to me expressing an opinion until AngryManatee chose to make a big deal out of it. Your characterization of me is wildly inaccurate. You know nothing about me, so shut it.

Yes, this thread should be moved into the car Thread.

Touched a sensitive point, have I?

I'm curious, which was it?

-The complaining about stuff you have no interest in?
-The wasting of time?
-The mental masturbation?
-The odd titillation?

And ordering me to shut it on a thread where you are you are arguing so vociferously for your right to express an opinion again leaves me bemused...

There is no mental masturbation, no odd titillation. Your blatant mischaracterization of me is what pisses me off. It's not an opinion that you're expressing. It's an insult.

Fact: You wrote: "The purpose of a car is to get from one place to another. Any other meaning that other people try to give it is superfluous and stupid"

Fact: You therefore contend that only the meaning you attach to a car has worth, and that any other meaning people choose to attach to a car is "superfluous and stupid".

Fact: You therefore have no regard for any meaning or opinion besides your own.

Fact: You therefore imply your contempt for this forum, since this forum was established to invite people to share their different opinions and values.

Are my facts straight now?
