Smokey, please read the following carefully, without any pre-thoughts in your mind.
Nobody here roughing you up. Ent is you who kept coming in this thread and that thread claiming that a mini can out-handle and out drive just about anything? And randomnly too
It looks as though you were looking for someone to respond all this time, and we have. To this you once again, randomnly, made the same claim.
It's all good to give minis from websites, magazines etc. , under different drivers as examples of what you speak, or probably say this mini went up against that lancer under those drivers:
there was once a btcc race in snetterton in the 80's and your group A u.k. spec lancer was left in the dust by the then richard longman tuned mini 1275gt .
but you need to understand that these are examples of proffesional racers, in race tuned cars, when all these cars were new. This may not necessarily be the case when it comes to you driving your mini, now, against any of the people in here you seem to want to go up against.
dred if you can't respect fwd , don't indirectly criticise it .
I did not criticise front wheel drives, in fact, I did not criticise minis (or your mini in particular) at all through these threads. All I did was respond to your claims. At no point in time did I say that my rwd lancer could outhandle your mini, I meerly stated that the lancers were built from the ground up to handle, which is true. That was not stated by me using theory purely as my basis. It was from experience as well. I drive one daily and I know it's capabilities and limititions fairly good.
In fact, you yourself have been criticising other ppls cars and themselves, again randomnly, by saying things like, for eg.:
dred allyuh mitsu fellars cars cannot out handle a mini , no day of the week
Looks like a criticism to me, and I bet to everyone else that sees it too.
Seems to me that when someone states anything even resembling a contradiction to your point of view, which btw, was not to relevant to this particular thread, you can't take it, then you say we are roughing you up.
It almost looks as though you were
looking for a confrontation against your point of view. For what reason, I don't know!
Until
your car goes up against one of these cars that you claim victory against ahead of time, you simply have no claim to it. I, or anyone else here never made any claims to victory against you or any other driver and car.
I don't go into other peoples threads related to their respective cars and say "Mitsubishis will beat all of you any day of the week", or any other claims that I could not back up .why? because I myself would not have gone up against those cars and drivers and beaten them.
Even if I did beat 'em, I still would not go around in their threads claiming victory. I would practice Humility.
What I noticed about you is you like to talk alot, and alot of theory. Theory is not any good unless proven, in this case, by yourself in your car against those you claim victory against.
Note: I did not post this to argue against you, I'm just letting you know what you are doing and may not be able to see for yourself. Hopefully you would have read it positively.
