People are NUTS!
 

I hardly post on here usually just read and learn stuff but I had to post this.

Okay, so a friend hits me up on fb chat. Younger guy, cool as hell but FYI he's a Camaro owner. Now i'm not downing those guys or cars, just an FYI for you. We're shootin the sh!t like usual and then he asks me about my car...goes down hill from there lol.

Manny De Ocampo

its not bad the slomaro would spank your z man

7:02pm
Manny De Ocampo
lol yeah yeah bc you're not stock

7:03pm
---
lol even if i was stock lol
i wanna see how my car copes with your through the twisties though

7:07pm
Manny De Ocampo
Nah not stock for stock. it'd be a drivers race for sure.
don't think the 'maro can hang in the twisties or a road course. Z is too nimble

7:08pm

lol stock to stock i would dust you on straight camaro 426hp stock 420tq 370z 305hp stock 270tq
i think i can hang with you on the twisties because i do have coilovers and wider stance

7:11pm
Manny De Ocampo
lol dude your car has almost 500lbs over mine. and the Z is 332hp
late 350's are 305 with the HR in it

7:13pm
---
lol even 332 at the crank your making 270 to 260 at the wheels camaro makes 384 at the wheels stock still making 124 wheel horse power then a 370z
not to be ignorant but Z are not that quick buddy they are made more for handling then straight line speed all i was saying is i think i can hang with you on the twisties with my improvements of coilovers and spacers

jake dynod his camaro stock..he was putting down 340 to the wheel. and besides you know all dynos are different. if you check all the 1/4 times for both Z and Camaro stock they're in the same range. probably the camaro is slightly faster --thus making it a drivers race

7:15pm

here is a 370z getting dusted by a camaro plus 3 people in the camaro
2010 Camaro SS vs. 2010 370Z - YouTube
you do know every car dynos at different hp i am on the camaro forum the camaro ss dyno from 340 to 390 at the wheel

7:16pm
Manny De Ocampo
lol i just said that...
and yes i've seen that vid before
and both cars are fast. camaro is a tad bit faster. but a dig race will be close with 2 skilled drivers

7:18pm

it is what it is man i know enough to where i know my cars capabilities and i know its not the fastest thing out there i also know it weighs a ton and half
what i mean that Zs are fast is dude 350zs are getting stomped on by v6 accord coupes
and 350s make more torque then 370z

7:21pm
Manny De Ocampo
no they dont lol its about the same

7:23pm
---
lol whatever manny its like your telling me i dont know **** and i havent seen what i have seen....i know you love your 370 and you think its the **** and its fast..but at the end of the day there is always something faster i know thats true about my car as well there is mustangs out there that are faster then my car

7:26pm
Manny De Ocampo
lol dude u were spouting out wrong numbers for the Z of course im gonna call you on it. and i personally dont care how fast my ride is compared to others. i drive it and bought it bc i like the Z.

7:31pm
---
my bad i dont know exact z numbers its not what i drive so i know the range that its in thats all..congrats thats what matters that you enjoy driving it but comparing your car to a car thats in another class and acting like your all high and mighty is ignorant its like me going to a stock viper and being like i will smoke your viper but at the end of the day i will lose every time.. but anyways i enjoy driving my car and i enjoy other cars as well like german cars and Zs and other Japanese cars i dont discriminate and act all high and mighty because i have a v8...honestly i think you need to humble your self a little more..not trying to be a **** just being honest

7:51pm
Manny De Ocampo
dude YOU said and i quote "the slowmaro will spank your Z" so i dont quite know why you think im being high and mighty you started that ****. although i like all types of rides foreign and domestic i dont give a **** about anyone elses but mine. i dont run around comparing my **** to anyones. you brought this **** up so chill on all that be humble/ high and mighty ********. stop being so damn sensitive over 1/4 mile times on a car. not that serious.

:shakes head:

What an ignorant *******. Good lord.

You should have started typing in all caps.. that's how you get serious on the internet.

Lol i should have. I mean damn either he just went from zero to retard or he trolled the sh!t outta me!

In my experience, people go 0 to retard early and often when doing the automotive pissing contest.

you should race him for slips.

then after you beat him, tell him he owes you a 10 second car cuz the camaro wasn't enough of a prize.

and you should stop being his friend. that's how most of these arguments end anyway. just sever ties earlier. less painful.

I feel every enthusiast hobby attracts the same type of idiots. We could be on a fly fishing forum with the same crap...

Fly fishing is for THE WEAK! You fish with TNT or you don't fish at all.

Sounds like he really really wished he bought a Z so he could rightly be high and mighty...dork.

Agreed @ Kermit.

I was just surprised how quickly I turned into a "high and mighty" Z-dewsh lol

Haha would it be immature to 'de friend' him? You handled that well. He sounds like he needs to compensate for something.

Z are the champions of The World!



(apologies to Freddie Mercury)

/defriend

lol nah both him and his bro are good friends. In the end it was just a bs (yet hilarious) disagreement.

Also funny, his older brother owns a sick Z lol.

I mean, there are speed 3s that beat camaro SSs... and 370z for that matter...
We have a quick reaction on my ms3 forums: people that want to compare totally mismatched cars are complete retards.

It's OBVIOUS that a car that puts out 150hp more will win the race unless it is a TANK.
There's no competition, no comparison, and most importantly - NO bragging rights!
He's basically comparing a twin-turbo Z to a stock civic si... I think we all know the outcome. Which says nothing about the merits of either car or driver.

Also, Camaros are ugly.
