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.

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...

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.
Originally posted by AngryManateeNo, it really wasn't. Just because you think that doesn't make me true. And I was tired of all the car threads you were making.
I didn't say your opinion was stupid, I said that the fact that you came into this thread and posted your "I don't care" opinion was stupid.
lol
Test here to see if you're a born Donkervoort driver
"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.

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.
