Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
does this dude have a history of american car bias or some shyt?


Yes, he claims to have owned a Ford SHO, so of course the first car he mentions in this thread is the Ford GT. Dude cannot make any objective unbiased arguments on anything, I could understand if we were talking about the performance of the Lexus LFA, which is completely underwhelming for the money. But the Carrera GT was a supercar when it was released, and this dude makes horrible arguments against it because the underlying theme is the Ford GT is less and has similar performance, even though it would get it's doors blown off by the Carrera around a track.

Yes, because you were clearly trying to say the Ford GT was on it's level :russ:

It has the 27th fastest time ever around the N-ring, and half the cars that are faster than it were released within the last 2-3 years. If that's your definition of sub par, then you may need to wait on the day they start making flying cars. For it's time, it was a bonafide supercar and only a fool would argue otherwise.

Compare 9 year old cars to the performance standard of today brehs.
Boy you have bad comprehension Just because its a supercar does not its good supercar. Just because it post good ring times does not mean it is a good handling to the everyday driver or even test drivers who test these types of cars all the time. There are several reviews of the car out. So as I stated for a car in its class its ok nothing special. Of course compared to what we drive it is super.

Here's how dishonest and pathetic your arguments are, you named the Koenigsegg CCX, it costs more than the Porsche Carrera GT, and is 5 seconds slower around the N-ring.

So, please explain your rationale in slamming the Carrera GT, but not the CCX which is more expensive and slower on courses.

Now I have American car bais because I used to drive a SHO What kind of dumb ass logic is that. One of my fav cars is the Porsche 911 turbo.

Stop moving goal post you said name some cars from the era that performs better the the Gt and I did. I already answered you about ring times they are highly unreliable since there is no official times kept just manufacture claims.

27th fastest time ever on a road course that is used as the standard for performance by a car that is 9 years old, yet @Smooth3d says not to take that time seriously, instead we should go by what he says.

He names the Enzo, which costs 3 times what the GT costs, yet is only 3 seconds faster. He named the SLR which costs the same, but is 12 seconds slower, yet he's in here slamming the GT for it's performance? What's it gonna be @Smooth3d , you can't name these cars and turn around slam the GT for it's performance when it costs less than 1, and on par with the other while being considerably faster. Apparently you only seem to factor 0-60 times into your definition of supercars.

Your own words -
Compared to others cars in its class no its not. It's handling is not impressive and other near exotic cars are faster.


And I'm the one moving the goal posts? I asked you to name these near exotics and you turn around and rattle off the names of full blown exotic supercars, some of which are more expensive and/or slower.

You argue like a woman and have the nerve to say I'm the one moving the goal posts, when I asked for the near exotic you couldn't name a single one. The times are highly unreliable, word? What about onboard video and magazines backing up the times, Evo ran a 7:28.71 in their GT vs the 7:28.0 that Porsche claimed, which backups the claimed time. I love how you have nothing to backup your claims, yet verified times and onboard videos are the ones that are unreliable.
