A beatup Honda Civic Punk tried to raise with me last night,

Yes, but English may not be the OP's first language.

In fact, the OP may be from some third-world hell hole where they can't even
afford a first language. Have some pity.

You should have learned to spell before you learned to drive. Is
English
your second language, Kemo-sabe ?

 

Los Angeles?

 

lol!

 

I do happen to know a little something about science. Being an
engineer it is kind of my thing. Even if I knew very little about
science I could tell you that 4,000 pounds never equals 15,000 pounds,
and it also will never equal 600 pounds. To move as light as a 600
pound vehicle would be to move like a motorcycle. Trust me, your car
doesn't move like a motorcycle.

I get a kick out of seeing drivers like you think that their car is so
great and they are so skilled in driving. I enjoy going to the track
with my relatively modest car and watching people in much more
expensive and faster cars overdrive their cars and wind up with
horrible times. I'm sure they feel stupid when they have lap times
about 5 seconds slower than me when I have a horepower to weight ratio
about 50% worse, and a capable driver in their car would better my
time by at least five seconds.

I think it all comes from sudden wealth or something. Perhaps when
going from driving a piece of crap to something with a little
performance you honestly believe that it can outperform everything,
and that your superhuman driving skill will combine with the supercar
to yield the ultimate package. Sorry, but you are not any better than
the honda driver who has something to prove. Actually in my opinion
you are worse. He only wanted to prove to YOU that he was fast. You
insist on bothering the entire mercedes community with how fast you
think you are, and apparently how well you would crush other cars that
got in your way. That's really something to be proud of-injuring
others with your reckless driving.

If you were trying to express impulse when you said 15,000 pounds
impact, you got the units all wrong. It actually gets a little tricky
since the unit involes both pounds force and pounds mass. It's easier
to work in metric units, where implulse is simply expressed in newton
seconds. If you do a little math you'll see that it's the same as kg m/
s, or mass times speed.

To everyone else, have a good day.

i cant stand rice burners.......i used to have a 2001 cougar. the only after
market stuff i did was cold air intake (knn) and eibach springs and struts.

To Quote someone who said it so well.........

"Grow up. Stop using the lookalike fake nyms. Show some spine by
posting under yer own banner, or stop wasting bandwidth (and
everyone's time) with this sophomoric, chickenshit, cross-posting,
pseudo-oppositional trash.

Apparently, no one of any recognizable gender wants anything to do
with you. Hence this endless, weak-ass, ridiculous, basement-
sockazoid game. Trust me, this is not the way to ameliorate that
situation.

Repeat -- Grow up. Be cool. Talk sense.

And you'll have it made. "

 

My 01 cougar ran high 13s. My 86 stock mustang ran low 13s. I remember a
dodge omni ran low 9s once....needless to say i was embarrassed

Mercury Cougar=Ford Contour=POS.

 

Assuming that everyone posting to newsgroups of Japanese and German car
manufacturers can write perfect English seems like (typically
"American") ignorance to me.

(Learning to format your posts properly on the Usenet is also helpful,
fwiw.)

POS but still drove smoother than a rice burner!
