I already told you to resume the pointless modding. And it is pointless because if you are modding to win races, there will ALWAYS be someone faster than you. You all fell for the 4DSC bull****. Look at the new scion commercials, you guys must think those are fast too. Sure, if you are racing a bunch of other bottom of the line cars you might win. But that's not much to brag about.
Is running mid 12s without any power adder or engine work really that slow? I see plenty of muscle cars run considerably slower than me. Case in point:



Still, it can easily be argued that spending money on performance for any car, no matter how fast it starts or how optimal it is, is a waste of money. It doesn't matter if you have a F-body, a vette, a fox, or a G-body with a big block... it's the same "waste" of money when it comes to any logical look at what we are doing. Regardless, people will still put money into performance and race their cars.

No... I can promise you it wouldn't. When hustle makes a dumb statement, he gets the same treatment... and he has what 30k posts?

Damn you're making more sense than usual today. +1 for hustle.

Wait... what?

(I kid, Denver. It was so wide open, though.)


Anyhow... is this kid going to get banned for physically threatening Sparks? Seems only a few years ago, it would have happened within minutes.
I'm not offended, it's a common tactic of dumb people to threaten violence when they're frustrated.

Does he really think that he "did nothing" to deserve people ragging on him other than being a noob, or is it some kind of troll tactic to deflect the real reason?

I'm probably going to try out somethings to make my ride a little smoother. I'm not insulting you guys. If you take offense by my opinions, especially when I'm backing them up with some real ****, then that's your problem.
I wouldn't say we think you are dissing the maxima. The reality is this, This thread was not made from a guy wondering if it's worth his time or money to mod a maxima, the thread was created because he obviously has been looking into get the spacers for his car but he realizes it's $200 that he doesn't just want to throw away if it isn't going to help his performance much. We've all been there, we do a mod that in the end had no real value and we wish we wouldn't have spent the money, he's hoping to avoid doing that.

So your opinion is unnecessary and unwanted in this discussion, it does not relate to the subject at hand. All you've really done was criticize anyone on here who mods their maxima. So of course this place is going to turn hostile.

Seeing as you are a newb I'll put it this way, for future reference on other threads. If you have nothing of value to add to a thread but a pointless opinion, after you read the thread hit the back button on your browser and move on to the next area of interest.

I was going to leave it alone like 5 times but you guys have something else to say after every one of my posts, feeding the troll if you will, but I'm not a troll, although you all obviously think I am.

You fit the description of a troll. You came into a thread and instead of posting any meaningful contribution, you provoked people and started an argument. You realize this is what trolls do, right?

Put nitrous on a faster car and it'll go faster and get a lower time which is the ultimate goal here right? I thought that was the point of drag racing.

Yes and I had already tried correcting my self, saying that no insult intended, and I was going to leave it at that. Ignorant ****** such as yourself keep having a say at every post I leave. And they are just as meaningless and off topic. You ****ing troll.

Where have I heard that before? Classic denial of personal responsibility for one's behavior, because it's always the other guy's fault for pulling me back in.

Oh! Right!

So what exactly is the magical car that every person who wants to drag race should be driving? Once you decide on said car, you're going to need to get the memo out (ie troll) to all the other people who are driving what you consider to be non-optimal vehicles.

And just for reference, you can build a car like Jime's for around 4-5 grand if you can do the work yourself. There aren't many other cars in existence that will go 10s on that kind of budget.

There was a line of no offense that you crossed. You should be pretty easily able to find that line yourself if you were smart enough to read through the posts.

And sparks nailed it. Even went over to Urban Dictionary to confirm:
"An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion."
That's you, slick. That's all you. Be the man.

The answers were made. My first reply to you was about as constructive as you're going to get considering your initial hostility already shown towards other members at that point. You then continued to argue and here we are.

But wait weren't you the one saying that adding "no offense" takes away any offense from an offensive statement?

Really man, no offense, but you're a douche. No offense, but you are really dumb trolling in this thread then blaming our reaction on you being a noob. No offense of course.

If your intent was not to be a troll, you wouldn't have posted the statements and subsequent replies that you did. Unless you are just that dense not to understand what you were doing.

Man. I really don't think anyone of us is sitting around "butt sore" about you or your comments.

Most of us are likely just sitting back and having a chuckle.
