Obviously, yes, I speak my mind, I am biased, and I am only an enthusiastic about things I'm interested in! You described me right on the spot up until there! As for having no respect for people's interests, that is not true. I do respect other people's interests; I am just not "into" stuff I'm not into... how the heck am I supposed to help that? It's not like I can FORCE myself to like American cars if I just don’t like them! That's how most people are, dude, nothing shocking.

The thing about the mustang: Even the "New" one still uses a solid axle suspension, and for a 2008 car, this just is NOT acceptable. They tried to cut the cost with the wrong thing, and therefore ruined the handling.

(The reason for it was that making it "properly" would have mad the car more expensive, and they did not want to cut costs on other things, like making it lighter by using less crap.)

This... makes the engine irrelevant, because if you cant turn or brake, it doesn't matter how fast you can go. Straight line speed and max HP numbers are not everything. Most American muscle cars are known to handle terribly due to poor suspension design, excessive weight, and generally cheap build quality. Ford could have changed this, but they didn't, did they?

As for using that specific race: Dude, you make it sound 20 times worse than it really was, and it's gone now. I apologized, and everything too... Yes, I could have used ANY race. I was describing the views of early America and the present day views of the automotive world.

And... Performance out of a 20 year old car? A w202 is not 20 years old; the 1994 model is only 13 years, while the 2000 model is 7. Where the heck did you get 20 from?

And, just like you said, I DO want to make a crazy Benz, but I also know how hard it would be, re-read my post please, I cleared the offensive nonsense out of it. I think you missed the important stuff because of your rage at my lunatic open mind.

EDIT: A lot of people seem to be offended by my views when the talk comes down to "that", they don't understand what I'm really trying to say, take my comments too seriously, and freak out sometimes. I take subjects like this as lightly as I would taking about how my bread tastes over morning tea and breakfast. I know... I know... and I know... but it's just not a big deal to me, and I find it almost amusing when people get the reaction that they do!

We all could talk bout my race, Russian, and how we are all drunks, mafia members, and criminals, but that is not true. We could talk about Asian people, we could talk about Arab people and their stereotypes, Heck, anything... white people are not an exception to the rule of course!

Let me ask you one final question. Do you get offended by Carlos Menica? Well, my views are like his.... I bash everybody, not one specific area, even myself, but I never really mean it seriously.... and say sorry at the end, and make fun of myself just as much... watch his stuff on you tube sometimes!

-Max.
