this is the most bull **** thread....all in all the mudstain beat out the camaro for pricing.... for the base irocz it is 12,675 and for a mudstain 11,324 for price as tested usually fully loaded was 18,179 for the iroc-z vs 12,548 for the rustang thats the reason ford won over

as far as tpi goes what a crock of ****...if it was such a bad system why would they carry it over to the 4th gen??? in LT1 tpi hmm....lets think about that one..

 

Do you know what the term ‘context’ means? When the hell did I say that performance was the reason that it won in sales?!? My last post was a retort to the alleged better performance of the GM platform over the Ford platform. Take my arguments in context and stop quoting me out of context to try and bolster your own erroneous point of view.

No, wasn’t maketing. I saw more ads for the F-body than I did the Fox, but women liked the Fox better. It was more comfortable, better ‘feel’ while driving and more affordable. They drive sales as previously mentioned.

Start reading the whole thread boys, or stop replying to me. Ignorance really aggravates me. Let me bring you up to speed (condensed version):

BTW, Porky, how is there a TPI on the 4th gens?!? LT-1 and TPI are not the same system buddy.

 

Marketing. Thank you very much.

 

Red, I don't think some will ever understand. Seems there will always be people that still think TPI has great HP potential, all musclecars ran 12's off the showroom floor, carbs have to be unmanagable anywhere outside the sunbelt, TPS enhancers and tornado intakes are worthwhile, $600 shortblocks will be reliable, and so on.

I think you and a few others have been quite concise, all the info is here now and those with some logic will be able to see what is crap in this thread and what is not.

 

What a classy image!

 

Screams of trailer parks, that all to famous long hair style, and wife beater shirts.

 

thar aint nutin rong wit a mullit an six dirty kidz in diapars an a camaro up on blocks in front of my mobile home iz der?????......


LMAO...sorry couldnt help myself ...LOL....it does give you that image doesnt it ..

 

Apples to oranges, you misquoted me and I don't see an apology there. Fess up.

 

Wha?!? You mean they don't work?!?

 

you mean there no good ??? i thought the tornado made like 75 extra horses....dang....

LMAO....:lala:

 

You and your stereotypes are really startin to crawl
up my back.

Lemme tell ya somethin,' well maybe for all you
30-40 yr olds ...

I definatly am not poor ..
and I dont have a dam kid ..

and classy TOM CFI??? ... sh*t, what are you saving
yourself up to be huh??

all your pathetic stands on images
and stereotypes and very well kiss
my as*

cause this 21 year old right aint buying it

 

Who cares, poor or not, you still fit the stereotype
so what, many people do.
The best part is, no one has to say it to you, you prove it yourself with the posts you make.

 

What ljnowell said. You perpetuate that stereotype with every sentence, I'm sorry to say.

 

That would explain a whole lot. Particularly your stance on the abilities and potential of a TPI inducted motor and the lack of year on your DOB.

As for the stereotypes, they were not created by us, however, the opinions and comments you disgorge perpetuate the fallacy of those upon us all. Especially the ignorance…

For what all of four years?!? Them fords sure don’t have a thing on us, I must have been dreaming the 80’s and early 90’s. Where were you? Oh yea, just being born and progressing through elementary school. Damn, it sure must be great to talk firsthand about something that you weren't around for.

They other guy should really know if you are going to race. I know that most of my fords would have smoked just about any N/A TPI inducted motor. I have a friend who has an ’87 full bodied Buick that would smoke most of my previous cars… granted he is shooting for low to sub 10’s.

Ummmhmmm….those years and years of experience tell you that you can make ‘power’ out of a TPI. Please define ‘power’. Older models? I send you back to the full bodied ’87 Buick above. That’s what I’m used to. And, please, you smoke, big deal, why do you feel it necessary to state this fact regularly?

Oh, and what does wiping you’re as* have to do with anything?

Thank you very much for toasting this thread. It was a more or less open discussion until you got all touchy. Go troll elswhere and stop posting in ignorance. That is all, carry on.

 

Ok fellas ..

Maybe I was a bit wrong with all the smart as*
responses on stereotypes


and I apoligize..

It frustrates me sometimes because ..not everyone
who owns an fbod lives the lifestyle.

I dont wanna take too much of a strong stand on this
stupid subject .. its really not worth it ..people are gunna
think what they want about the fbod .. ah well ..

As for questioning my knowledge and my ability
to work on these cars or any others

Is just plain out unprofessional on your part.
and to judge me by age is just plain out stupid.

So if your ever around my neighborhood ..
Stop by to see what this 21 yr old has got.
(I aint just packing a TPI T/A)
Im not here to make enemies .. I didnt start the thread
that just puts down our cars ..

and so what .. I smoke, I thought the coment was
just to be funny .. Instead all this bullshi*
If anything, I was trying to relate to ya guys.
Im young .. I enjoy stupid stuf like beer and cigs
you cant blame me for tryin' to relate with yall

Im sorry if I sounded "Trailer Trash"

I was jus tryin' to have alil laugh
(sorry for havin' fun)

again .. just becuase I was young in the 80s .. doesnt
mean I dont know anything.

I actually cant believe that, I mean WTF

That is all, Carry on (lmao)

 

Ok, let me quote my friend RB on this one and you'll see why that statement doesn't hold water and maybe see some of our perspective on this...

I'm eloquent and very articulate when I choose to be, but I sorely doubt I could have said that better myself. Hope that clears some up.

 

While I agree with what is said above, one cannot discredit someone because of thier age. I have met people 15 years older than me, that I wouldnt let change my oil. And I have also met people 5 years younger than me, that can dance circles in a shop around me. I've been turning the wrench since I was old enough to sit in my uncles shop. I knew more about cars and engines when I turned 16 than most people that were older than me. But, of course, this isnt the case for everyone.

When thegeneral (a board member for those that dont know him) and I were younger our father used to have a sign hanging up on the living room closet door it said (sorry about the caps, but thats how it was)

ATTENTION ALL TEENAGERS!
NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT! YOU MUST LEAVE HOME NOW
AND FIND A JOB. GO OUT AND CONQUER THE WORLD,
WHILE YOU STILL KNOW EVERYTHING!

I used to laugh at it, but as I grew older, and wiser I hope, I started realizing that in an intelligent person age brings wisdom. Not because a number makes you magically smarter, but because if you open yourself to learning, you will. I guess the point that I am trying to make is if you think you know it all, then you really dont know sh*t. Sorry about the length guys.

 

Bwahahahaha I've got to make me one of those damn things!! I'll have my sons look you up when they figure it out.

 

May this thread never be locked.
I'm looking forward to seeing where it'll be in the year 2010.

 

By then it will probably have its own dedicated server.

 

Speaking of learning new things, and keeping things thirdgen relveant, but sort of off topic.
I just found out something today that put the valve train geometry issue into a whole new perspective.
I should have figured it out long ago, but never actually took the time to sit down and think about it, til this afternoon.
Now I finally feel competent with that, instead of like before, when I was just doing my best to follow the instructions but not really knowing why.

Somebody bake me a cake!
