Man, that's... blistering.

Naturally I'm giving this guy a rough welcome. I think I speak for the majority of us when I say that we all respect nearly any vehicle as long as it's tastefully modded. Any brand has its share of douchebags behind the wheel, and sadly there's no cure for that.

My beef with Yota was that he came over here telling us how disappointed he was, and proceded to write a condescending novel telling us to all just get along. I then pop over to the thread he's defending and see him spouting all sorts of nonsense... "dog taking a ****"... "skull-f*cking a Crossfire", etc.

It was at that point he lost all credibility with me. He could have years of racing experience and sleep in Nomex underwear, and I still would not have any respect for him because of the two-faced behavior he exhibited. We don't owe you a damn thing, Yota, let alone an explanation or an apology for expressing opinions on OUR forum between respected members. You come on here, bringing nothing to the table but an instigation.

Everyone knows that there are freaky-fast iterations of any make. There are Novas with V-8 conversions, Fieros with Corvette motors, Crossfires with SL55 motors. Each brand has it's own forum "big boy" that would presumably mop the floor with the "opposition". We all know this.

To me, the GTO looks like a Grand-Prix on a high sodium diet. Big, soft styling, boring. They don't turn heads on the road, regardless of 12-second time slips. Or 8-second time slips.

At this point this thread is rather worthless, but I'm sure that won't preven Yota from coming back with his "factual" rebuttal stating what a sensible man he is, laden with snide jabs and spelling errors.

We had our laugh at the GTO thread, and I'm still chuckling. But this horse is dead.
