    That was the base model engine. Back then, you could get a Corvette with options: http://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/corvette/history.html

    You can’t compare a stock, 70s emission sports car to a modded import. That’s apples to oranges.

    The current track record held is by the ACR Dodge Viper the Chevy ZR1 Corvette. Nevr said anything about respect, just not impressed. The Viper and ZR1 do that for me. The proof is in their numbers.

    And as far as 800hp evos go i have came across one. I remember it clearly. And so does alot of other people that night including moparkid. 2K was laid down and that 800hp evo you talk about went home with his tail between his legs. Last time i was at Byron(and im down there quite often) three AMS Evos were running and all had catistrophic failures. Same applies for what ever junk honda civic you implied that can walk me. I remember those events as well. Seems like every honda civic that thinks he his fast feels the need to talk their smack before getting crushed. If i am beatin by a ricer that is built so far beyond STOCK that it resembles nothing from the factory, then so be it. Who cares. Im out every weekend on the street or at the strip during the summer months since i was 16. I have seen 10k races in person. A fast car is a fast car no doubt. Having a fast Honda is like coming out of the closet though, at first everyone is surprised, but at the end of the day your still gay.

    Just because i dont think that variable valve timing is the hot ticket makes me an ass? First off it was a joke to begin with. Second, not being able to deal with other peoples opines isnt my problem. Its yours. I really dont care what people think of me. Its an open forum and i wont be bullied into shutting up in fear of people losing “respect.” Its a b.s. word thrown around to make people feel bad about expressing their feelings and thoughts. If i said that i didnt want any tuner classes, what would you say to that? It was a question asked on here, was it not? Am i an ass for giving an honest opine that was asked for by the adminisrator? I have seen your comments on here about American autos and never once slammed you about the way you think. If there is a tuner class so be it, really dont care. It does not bother me at all. But you wont see me over there drooling over them. Its not, and never will be my bag and im not a fan. They are cars, not races of people for gods sake.

    D, the question was a simple one, should imports have their own class. You chose to throw in an insult and I called you on it. The administrators did not ask for your opinion on what you think of imports.

    Yes, I have made my poorly worded comments about Corvettes on this forum. I was called on them, maybe not by you, but I was called none the less. I didn’t attack back with more insults as you are. I apologized and learned from it. I never came back with childish quips like your “coming out of the closet” gem. Honestly, viewpoints and statements like yours add no value to the discussion. My past comments did not either. I am not better than you nor do I feel a need to insult your tastes. You made a foolish statement, own it.

    Exactly why different classes need to be.

    Why are you so toutchy about Tuners? (not imports) You need to stop being sooooo offended by every little statment made, geez… Man get over it. Like i said, it was a joke and thats your problem if you want to be a big baby about it. Why do you feel the need to continue to P&M about it. You use your words like “respect” and “opinion”, but then tell me to keep them to myself on a subject thats based on OPINION. Thats rich.

    And by the way we are talking about tuners not imports. Its called tuner class (motion. )How many shows do i even see you at? Why dont you swing that judgemental pendulum back twards yourself. I and others on here go to as many as 20 shows a year. I dont see anyone slamming you for your opinions on a subject that we are far more involved with then yourself. Im on here to help make shows THAT I GO TO better for everyone. And like to throw some humor ontop because its just my style, and ill be damned if ill hesitate in giving my opinion or being who i am just because someone is on their period.

    ANYWAYS….. 😆 to continue what i said about class a only. Class B shows do not get enough tuners to be broken down into years. Only class a should. 😆

    I am not involved much for two reason

    1) I have a job that involves much of my time and effort.

    and

    2) I grew tired of the people like you at shows that have no respect for others. Your views and opinions do not make shows better for others, they make the experience less enjoyable. I could show you emails and PM’s that I have received because of your rants on here recently supporting my views and questioning yours. But since those persons felt a desire to comment in private, they deserve the respect from me to remain private.

    You want to make the shows more enjoyable for others? Then save your “humor” and learn some respect

    Here is Jons own quote “I think mid-60’s Corvettes are much more appealing than a new car. But again my opinion is just that, an opinion. It means nothing to anyone else but me.” Using your own words, what does my opine have to do with you, other then your just being a big baby. Your number 2 is sad and weak. Quite the small imagination. Like i said wtf do i care what people (or the newly formed jonmandude fan club :laugh: )think of me on here? They dont know me and contrary to what you believe, you dont either. If anything ill keep being opinionated, because unlike you, i know what im talking about.

    Tell ya what “big jon” ill match ya PMs on what a complete ass you are. Dude, get a life and a car that runs faster then a 16 second 1/4.
