But the TL IS an overweight Accord.

How much RWHP did STOCK L78 396s make again?:p

I don't believe you can afford the TL Harddrivin, post your W2. Put up or shut up!!

harddrivin1le

Yeah....I'll start posting my W2 on the internet.

I don't care WHAT you believe.

mspence3

That was the point. No one cares what you believe so don't ask people to post their invoice.

I can't believe this thread hasn't been locked down. Where are the moderators?

adam209

haha...you can actually go see it if you'd like. call my insurance company and ask them where it is. how about this weekend, when i plan to purchase another TL, i'll try and scan that for you buddy. would you like that cheapo?

harddrivin1le

The majority of these people aren't blowing $35K plus on a car:

TLover

So what!?

harddrivin1le

That proves there is no corelation between what people with solid net worths have and how much they're WILLING to spend on cars.

And it therefore answers these questions:

jrock65

LOL!

1) I don't believe you have an Accord. Post the invoice for it, as well as a photo of yourself next to it.

2) I don't believe you can afford these cars. Post a copy of your bank statement and brokerage account.

adam209

good for them. now what do you have to say about rappers who blow more than a hundred thousand on a car? besides that, you're not a millionaire, so who cares what they do? you're waaay too into what other people do rather than caring what you yourself do.

gordon_gekko

You guys are all idiots. Why don't you just ignore this fool? He causes the same problems at other forums. If enough of his threads go unanswered, he'll probably stop posting. If not, at the very least, his threads will disappear quickly and stop getting kicked up to the top. Why perpetuate this nonsense

harddrivin1le

1) I don't believe you have a brain.

2) Post a copy of your cranial CTSCAN.

adam209

you're right gordon_gekko...here's my last post on this thread and any post directed to that f*ckwad harddriven...

harddrivin1le

What "problems" are those? The cold, hard facts that many find so tough to swallow, are unable to refute and are therefore "addressed" via unfounded personal attacks and 5th grade level images?

Norse396

You say that like it's a bad thing, hmmmm let me see, something based on an Accord or something as fugly looking as a Geo storm, tell you what, you keep the Geo, I'll keep the TL.

I can tell your IQ borders on 68 so I'm guessing you still can't comprehend what I wrote. This is ok, it's still there, read it a few more times and let each word sink in slowly, if after that you still don't get it, read it again and again until you understand what was being said. Then remember that this isn't 1969 or 1972 anymore and that Chevy doesn't make that POS anymore.

Remember that you're in an Acura forum, people who buy Acura don't go to Chevy dealers to look at Malibu's or Cavaliers and people who buy NSX's don't look at chevy either, then try comparing that car of yours that you bow to as God to cars that it was meant to be compared too. Idjit.

The L78 never made "335" RWHP in anything that remotely resembled "stock" form...

In reality, it would be hard pressed to match the output of the Chevy Trailblazer's bone stock, 4.2 liter DOHC I6.:wow:

And "apples to apples" (~ 3,250 Corvettes):

335 RWHP looks like THIS:

It does NOT look like this:

Norse396

Of course you do, if you didn't you wouldn't be trying so hard trying to prove how mighty the now defunct LS1 is/was/whatever is. You wouldn't be comparing a Geo Storm look-a-like to everything under the sun in a forum where people could care less about the LS1, my SS 396 or anything else you bring up that has nothing to do with anything made by Acura.

You wouldn't be banned from every forum you go to if you weren't trying to prove how you just don't get it, or how smart you think you are yet everybody else doesn't get you.

If you're anything like this in life, my sympathies goes out to the people you drive nuts on a daily basis.

harddrivin1le

...but you said that the L78 396 produced "335 RWHP" in stock form.

It didn't.

Norse396

Good grief you're pathetic, don't look now, but the sky is blue, quick argue how the LS1 is more blue and produces better clouds!

'01 Z06 (385 SAE NET HP): 9.5 seconds

"425 HP" 396: 12.5 seconds

The '01 Z06 (385 SAE NET HP) cuts out 3 full seconds (relative to the "425 HP" car) during that 70 MPH interval alone! That's ~ 400 feet (~ 133 YARDS) @ those types of speeds.:wow:

That Z06 would have UNDOUBTEDLY have been rated @ 500 plus HP under the old SAE GROSS system.:wow:

Norse396

Ok, clearly this is much too hard for you. I have explained it as clearly as possible and asked you to read it again.

Ok I give, you're like a broken record who won't get it if I engraved it into your forhead and glued a mirror in front of your face.

The only thing you've done is make people who didn't care one way or another about the Camaro start to hate it because you're so arrogant and ignorant.

I'm done with you and this thread child.

Haha, this must be an example of "The cold, hard facts that many find so tough to swallow, are unable to refute"

Yes, you got me, I don't have a brain.


Why does he repeatedly post scanned old articles of the camaro/corvette in a TL forum?

He should be banned just for wasting server space like that.
