i saw you won the 60 foot but it looked even in the other video. anyways nice job

MADMAX27330 · 11-26-2006, 01:30 PM

Thanks Man Well U R Right It Was Close But Hey I Got Him And Him Having 300hp 2 My 240hp Well I Say I Did Pretty Good For My Self!!!

Please Don't Type Like This, It Makes It Difficult To Read. And punctuation is your friend.

Normally, I don't harp on people for their typing skills, because it generally doesn't matter to me. However, when I actually have to go back and read something 3 or 4 times just to understand what the heck you're trying to say, there's a problem.

Anyway, I don't see "EVERY BOBY" telling you that you wouldn't have a chance. In fact, the last S2000 Vs 300z post you made, you had one reply. That one replier said "who knows". Not a defenite yes or no by any means.

A great deal of racing boils down to the driver. For all we know, your friends are all truly terrible drivers. In the 1st video, you got a very slightly better launch. You hardly "smoked" him. And in the 2nd video, it doesn't look like you beat him at all. It looks pretty much dead even, possibly even with the Z slightly ahead at the end. It's hard to see from the terrible cameraman's shaking.

There is no need to yell.

Congrats I guess. Honestly, you can't tell anything from either of those two videos. If you want to impress us, do it at the track and video it there.

S2Killa · 12-24-2006, 11:15 PM

that's funny cuz I have an S2K and my brother has a 300zx

blkturbos2k · 02-23-2007, 06:39 PM

the 300zx is a pig. You will win till 3rd. if you do a roll race you will lose

leo520 · 02-25-2007, 06:02 PM

i agree 300zx is still too damn heavy...
the s2000 got only about 2600+ pounds

s2000isu · 02-25-2007, 06:22 PM

the 300 is a half second faster in the quarter then the s. I dont care if it weights 4 tons.

Vezna31 · 02-28-2007, 09:00 AM

It's all in the drivers. You could beat a Viper if the person doesn't know how to drive.

leo520 · 03-03-2007, 07:53 PM

that's right

s2000isu · 03-03-2007, 11:28 PM

I dunno about beating a viper. The viper driver would have to try to lose. The 300 i can def agree driver prolly plays a huge role.

MADMAX27330 · 03-05-2007, 09:50 PM

well me and the 300 went 2 the track last weekend and trust me his car is running like **** i think he was running 14.9 or some thing like that it was high 14 but it was bad

oh me i just hit my first 14.049 that day!!!

Scott · 03-07-2007, 04:37 PM

So, you're now admitting that the car you raced was running poorly? That kinda takes away from the importance of your "win"

MADMAX27330 · 03-07-2007, 08:02 PM

well when i first ran him his car was good and running the way 300z should be, but when we went to the track yes is car was running like ****. look i really don't care what happens after 120 miles per hour b/c he has 2 more cylinder and two more turbos then me. look if he cant get me b4 120 some thing is wrong and really i cant say i won b/c his car is running poorly, so u tell me when i can say i have won b/c who really knows what a wins is b/c i can say i did but u can say i didn't so help me out here what is a WIN????

s2000isu · 03-07-2007, 09:04 PM

I agree a win is a win. You were just updating us on how yours and his car was running. Tell him to give the 300 to me cause he doesnt deserve it. It is a nice car to run such terrible times with. I would also like to point out that a 300 should be whooping us well before 120 miles per hour with someone that has half a clue how to drive.

MADMAX27330 · 03-08-2007, 10:22 AM

well its auto so what can u really do 2 it all u have 2 do is put it 2 the floor

There's more to drag racing an automatic than simply flooring it. And I agree with Scott, please learn to use punctuation and how to spell. Thanks.

s2000isu · 03-12-2007, 01:16 PM

Hey guys I think we are going to start a new section on this site. It is going to be English 101. Can you guess who the mods are going to be?

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 03-12-2007, 01:33 PM

Hey guys (and you know who you are) correcting people every single time they're not typing to your standards is getting REALLY old.

Please no more nobody really cares we all know what they are talking about OK

bjurasz · 03-12-2007, 04:48 PM

Not my standards. Its called English, and I didn't invent it.

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 03-12-2007, 04:55 PM

look we are here to talk about our cars not how people should type.

If you really can't understand it skip don't go on and on about it, did you ever think you might have made some people feel stupid?

Think about it OK we are not here for that
thanks, Morgan

P.S. sorry to everyone this has nothing to do with this thread

MADMAX27330 · 03-12-2007, 08:19 PM

Hell on wheels thank u so much for bringing up whats important here not some lame **** that a few people trying 2 make fun of. Like he said, If u cant read it just shut the hell up and move on thats it i am not here for a lecture on my gramar. so in other words if u really don't like the way i type keep ur fucking comments to ur damn self.

It's spelled "grammar", not "gramar".

Haha, alright I'm done. But to be completely serious about the matter; punctuation, spelling, and grammar ARE very important to me. I only have a few pet peeves, but the biggest one is that people think that just because they are typing on an internet forum, that the most basic rules of composition no longer matter. If you make a few mistakes here and there, then it is perfectly acceptable. I understand almost nobody goes back and proofreads everything they write (I know I don't). But to butcher the language to the point of it being barely legible is just downright obnoxious to me.

Honestly, how hard is it to type with some semblance of diction? And as for saying I'm trying to make people look stupid; well, in my honest opinion, they do a fine job of that themselves. Don't believe me? Go look for a job and submit a resume or application chock full of spelling and grammar errors. Odds are, you won't even be considered for the job. Still in college? Turn in an essay format test in some sore of intangible internet jargon and see what kind of grade you get. I'll bet you it's not going to be a passing grade. Why do you think nearly every news anchor has the very generic "Mid-western" accent? Because proper diction is stressed more often. People who speak with regional accents tend to use more slang. To people who do not commonly communicate using such slang, it comes off as boorish and a bit uneducated. While this is very often not true, it still remains that is how much of our society makes the mental association. However, to have spoken and written the English language your entire life, then half-ass it just because you're on the internet...well, that's just incredibly lazy.

In the real world, to do well for yourself you will need to have a firm grasp of the mechanics of the English language. People will think you're better educated, more presentable, and more worth listening to.

I don't think people need to type perfectly on a forum. Like I said, I don't nitpick every single grammatical error I come across in here, as we all make mistakes. I honestly have better things to do with my time than to go from forum to forum, enforcing the rules of the English language. But when I have to work harder to understand when someone supposedly types in a language I have known my entire life, then something is clearly wrong.

And to go even further off topic: I find it's usually the people with horrible diction and grammar are also in many cases the very same people who say that immigrants who come to this country should be required to learn English.

EDIT: I forgot one thought I meant to put in here. "if u really don't like the way i type keep ur fucking comments to ur damn self." I'm sorry if you're offended. But you know what? This is a forum where people are entitled to their opinions. If you aren't willing to accept that someone thinks differently than you, maybe the internet isn't a place you should be. Thanks, and have a nice day.

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 03-13-2007, 04:19 PM

WOW!! I really hope that made you feel better.

You are right you are free to say what you want to say (but to a point), why not talk about our cars?

Like I said before if it bothers you so much skip it.
