He may have started "being rude" but you were the one posting nonsense, did you expect a boatload of kindness when it was clear you were talking out of your....

 

Now you're just being argumentative for the sake of being argumentative. Are you really picking at my statement because I didn't mention springs?

What would you like, a schematic? A visual representation? An engineering lesson?

Get over yourself dude. Better yet, buy that car. SHOW ME.

 

You stepped away from "that car" when you started making uneducated comments about the big block and the shocks and struts keeping it from bottoming out.

The majority of your posts have not been about "that car" as you want to somehow shout as you hop on your high horse.

Show a little intelligence before you tell someone to get over themselves, especially after they've illustrated your lack thereof.

 

if you are on here, chances are pretty good you don't have one of those "badass" cars. i think you are probably just like a friend of mine.... he had a thing for german engineered cars for a few years. blah blah blah german engineering is so much better, blah blah blah all other cars are inferior... heard it for years. he finally traded his wife's accord in on a bmw 335i. its a nice car, no doubt, but i rode in both cars and honestly they rode the same, had the same level of quietness, and the interior had about the same level of fit/finish. bimmer had more power and a 6 speed, though. even he was kinda like "meh" after he got it. my thoughts are people like "exotic" stuff, especially stuff that most others cant afford.
i have ridden in/driven c6's, c5's, and c4's. a good friend of mine just sold his 06 z06 so he can get a zr1. another friend has an 05 with an aps twin turbo setup. i am familliar with c6's, yes. i also work with a retired marine who was in a tank unit.
anyways, there is a ton of bbc 3rd gens cruising around. they are not falling apart. i know the 3rd gen isnt a supercar, but i like them, and perfectly capable of handling another 100lbs up front whether its a bbc or a turbo setup. maybe look up the polly thirdgen t/a with a bbc and twin turbos. there are vids of him going around a road course, and he has been well over 200mph. (in a rust bucket low tech third gen)

 

I'm pretty sure I already said that I don't currently have one. I figured owning a house was more important than renting, owning a high end car and argueing over whether or not my car was better on the internet.

I don't like BMW's or Volkswagons. Just Audi's and Porsche's. Sorry, not all German cars are "my bag". I even love Astin Martin's (Not German)

Name? Rank? There are only four Battalions in the Marine Corps, and we all went to tank school at the Armor School in Ft. Knox, KY. Chances are I know him, and know him well.

I already said I knew it was POSSIBLE, I said it wasn't PREFERABLE to me for safety reasons.

And I didn't say ALL thirdgens are rustbuckets (especially not mine) I said THAT ONE (Sitting in a junkyard no less) was. But I guess if you just have to prove a point, you can find that video and get the owner of that T/A to post here what he DIDN'T do to his brake and suspension setup to get that kind of performance without killing himself...

What's so hard to get about that? Why are you taking the opinion of someone you don't even know in the internet so freaking personally?

This thread is like a train wreck, I don't wanna watch, but I just can't look away...

 

Dude, do you REALLY think I GAF about your personal opinion of me?

Do you really think I believe you are capable to gauge the intelligence of another person based on a few forum posts?

If you were intelligent yourself you would have attacked my technical knowledge, which would be a more accurate method of criticism based on what I have said, (according to you) so it's obvious that you don't even know what the word intelligence even means...

Wait a sec. Is that your car in the ad???

 

Wait, you think i'm worried about you "gaf" about my opinion of you, yet you cant seem to grasp that nobody cares about your opinion of how much better a c6 handles, and your expert information on whats required for a BBC swap ?



What ad ?

 

im with z28ricer on this one, at this point just walk away from the thread man. no one appears to care about your c6 or what you have to say about BBC swaps. The OP's thread has been ruined.

 

I give the Admins/Mods tons of credit for tolerance to allow this thread to continue.The name of this site says it all.Normally anything short of that is either locked or deleted.

A bit of wisdom from this 65yr old.I kind of am selective where I spend my time.If there is a exchange of opinions based on sound facts to be had or if there is something I can leave behind for someone to learn from,then the time spend in my mind is worthwhile.This thread has been neither for sometime.

My very best advise to Marine is if it is as you say that you are a fan of all motor sports,I would think you would be more willing to listen to the information provided to you about BBC Thirdgens and learn from that.

 

I'd be willing to listen to anything ANYONE has to say. I do have an open mind. It's not like I ridiculed your opinion or taste in automobiles. (Although that WAS done to me) At no point did I say a BBC in a thirdgen couldn't be fast, or couldn't be awesome.

That was the assumption of those of you who thought I was in here to pull your chain or something. Hell, I was even polite for the first few posts after I got attacked just for voicing my personal preference.

Whatever. At least it's been entertaining.

 

That this point I am going to send a PM to the Mod's of the site suggesting they lock it.

 

do you really mean to tell me that after all this arguing that no one knows if the OP decided to take the offer or not! this arguing is a waste of time! OP do not take the deal way too much work is involved for you and no benefits. You can not come out on top! you are getting screwed you end up with two clunkers that need thousands of dollars to finish and he gets something that he can sell and make money off of which is probably his game plan to start off with. say no sell the truck and buy a nice running, beautiful thirdgen, already redone and RUNNING off of craigslist and have some money left over for gas!
