Who's a mechanical engineer here? Not me.

You might want to reread. I clearly said I sucked. Isn't that what you are after in the end? For the other party to "give in" and admit the truth? If I had as many years behind the wheel racing and such as you do, and I did it a lot more often than I do know, I'm sure I would be a better driver at going down the 1320.

You edited that while I was responding.


So, since you suck at driving (self admitted), both of the Stangs here have been faster than you, is it not safe to say your car is slower?

No, it's safe to say I am slower.

If I drove your car, and I ran a slower ET and MPH than I did in my car, would that now mean that your car is slower than mine??

Your missing the point a car is only as fast as the driver. It really has nothing to do with the car. I've seen 1300 hp cars go slower than a 700hp car in the 1/4. If the driver can't get it down the track then yes the car was slower. Power doesn't mean everything in a race.

Yeah, that means that the driver sucks. Doesn't mean the car sucks. A car CAN BE slower than another car, but that doesn't mean it definitely is. You guys use words in way too loose of a termonology. But I know that you know exactly how you are using them

Isn't the whole argument of "a driver mod" the point of saying that guys sucks at driving? Does a baseball player blame his bat when he can't hit a ball? No. That's the exact some argument here. A car can't be held accountable for the short coming of the person operating it, so therefore the car isn't slower because the driver can't drive. It just means that the driver sucks. Nothing is wrong with the car.

How do we know the car is faster, its never been faster. I know its the drivers fault but until the car does it we don't know if its faster.

Read the post above.

What you said there at the end is completely correct. But it's both sides of the argument. Just because it hasn't been faster doesn't mean it ISN'T faster. It just has never been faster. Doesn't mean it won't at some point in time.

If you can't get your car down the track or road faster than the next guy your car is slower. It doesn't matter if its your fault because you have the driving skills of a 16 year old Asian girl. It still lost so its still slower.

LMAO!!

I was making them before anyone. I've been looking for a reason to start my midlife crisis! lol

Exactly.

Now that your car is making more power, you need to run Grandpa.

He isn't going that direction with his midlife. He is going Vette. Not only is he old, but impotent too!

Get outta here with that logic stuff mister!

This example might cause a shit storm, but oh well.

I believe God exists. However, I cannot directly prove that he does.

Athiests do not believe God exists. However, they cannot directly prove that he doesn't.

So until either side is proven wrong, an argument against either statement is invalid.

Let me highlight that. Was =/= is.

Steve's cars have been faster than mine. I won't deny that. And until I get more practice driving the 1/4, those cars will probably continue to go than mine.

Forgot to fix that too.
