Re: Grand Am GT vs. Scion tC

DigitalQuirk go watch some more FNF, this isnt what this forum is about. No one here respects this post. I doubt many people even respect you.

Your a moron, your the idiot who gives street racing a bad name. Your the idiot who eggs on a 16 year old kid in the pooring rain to race. Then he crashes and kills someone and it wasnt your fault. No it was your fault stupid. Your the reason street racing laws are getting so tough. Its sad too cause normally its stupid little kids that are the problems, here is a 34 year old guy. Im not gonna say man cause your obviously not mature enough to be called one.

You want to find some people that you would fit well with? Go to the local ricer spot, then you can tell them all your stupid stories. And you can listen to theres as well. But no one here wants to hear about them.

You know whats ever sadder? If that kid did crash, you wouldnt even man up. Youwould puss out, run away, and hide. Id be willing to bet if you saw him slam into the back of that minivan, you would just drive off.
Doesnt even sound like you read the post man..

He said he got up to 60, and im assuming 55 was the speed limit.

That's pretty normal speeds.

He didnt "egg on" the guy to race at all. And it's not his fault the stupid kid went to 80 and slammed on his brakes in the rain. He's not responsible for the kids driving lessons.

You're just looking to pick a fight.

Wow, nevermind digital. I see now why you where so taken by the race with the tC. the two cars really are very equally matched. the tc has 165hp and the Grand Am has 175. the traction thingie really did win you that race.

Re: Grand Am GT vs. Scion tC

nope, i hate stupid people. You wouldnt be saying that if the other guy crashed into the minivan. Any other person would have said, its raining out, why the fuck would i race, thats just stupid. But he was worried about the other kid going on the internet and saying he beat a GrandAm.

and i also think the only reason he won was because of the rain. TC>GA

well yeah, thats why he is so proud of the win guys! DUUUHHHHHH, the tC would of smoked him in ten different languages if it had not been raining. tC = superior street racer. Grand Am + weight + traction control = superior wet traction.

Yeah, my midsized family sedan does hold up quite well against a compact sport coupe. I just wish the driver of the minivan was a little slower to react for some real entertainment...

Which of course is plenty easy to make up on the street.

Either way, two pretty slow cars racing....anti-climatic.

I have no problem with giving brat kids enough rope to hang themselves with; I just make sure I'm not the one holding the other end when they take the bait then crash and burn.



You assume I want to be your friend and well-liked here. You would assume wrong. Thank you for demonstrating how much my post pissed you off; it made my efforts in writing it worthwhile.



Again, I was driving quite safely as I explained previously, but thank you for demonstrating how much my post pissed you off as well. I did a better job writing it than I thought!
You challenged a kid in the rain and you think your against street racing stupidity. You demonstrated poor judgement and could have got someone hurt. If the kid hits on it and you dont the kid would probably have slowed down. Why waste your time? Your in a grand am, just be happy with the gas mileage and save up for a faster car.

im going to have to say that the tC and the GA run similiar times, but the tC is definetely more fun to drive. the tC is probably more of a sporty car rather than the GA which is a family car.

its almost like comparing a Honda Accord to a Sentra SE-R

they run similar times, but the SE-R is just a lot more fun to drive

okay now thats just wrong. why are we tolerating this guy again? he's already broken like four of the forum guidelines. its just fine to post and talk smack but crap like that ruins the overall atmosphere of this thread.
Dampachi got his ass banned for less, and at least Dampi drove a car worth talking about!

Re: Grand Am GT vs. Scion tC

I have not seen real world numbers....

But from what I have read, the TC runs upper 15's and the GAGT runs in the upper half of the mid 15's. Just a hair quicker.
And I don't think the Grand Am GT is a family car. Mine is a nice clean looking 2 door. Sporty....kinda. Never driven a TC...or any Scion for that matter, so I really don't have anything to compare it to.

I like my Grand Am GT. Semi-sporty, can be fun to drive...although a manual would be a huge first step to increase the 'fun.'

Re: Grand Am GT vs. Scion tC

I find it both highly amusing and kind of saddening that people are trying to blame digitial on the kid being a fuckbag.

What's the matter guys? Had your own sliding experiences thanks to someone racing you and winning in the rain?
