That's funny. I actually really enjoyed the movie a lot.

Now I want a R34 Skyline!

Still not a GT3 though. But would be a nice stablemate.

I wasn't defensive until now...but that being said, "panties all bunched up", "drive like a pussy"...and you wonder why regarding the interpretation of your prior words as condescending and ego stroking?

And I never said "SLOW", just that I don't race or drive as aggressively as most M5 enthusiasts. As far as a Dinan Stage III suspension, better body roll feeling and cornering capability is not something just for high speed driving. If you don't realize that, how can you be making any mod comparisons at all?

A stock M5 going a leisurely 30mph into a 45 degree, run of the mill right hand turn at an intersection is going to have some body roll. For some it's so much better than a stock 540i that they don't care, but for some it's still not going to have good enough roll and cornering capability even at these lower speeds but sharp turns for some enthusiasts. So I, like many people who never track their cars but want that feeling of solid cornering and reduced body roll for daily street or highway driving will go get a modified suspension. Case in point - even at non-racing 70-80mph, anyone who knows Highway 280 in Norcal will know exactly what I am talking about - and there's no sharp turns, it's mostly gentle but a lot of curves and rises. Stock versus Stage III Dinan suspension is totally day versus night difference even when "driving like a pussy".

I think Dinan versus anyone else doesn't matter - if you like it, go get it. I just picked Dinan purely because of the reviews here on this board at that time, their facility in MV was a stone's throw away, and mostly because of the warranty coverage.

I was going to skip going to this meet, but now I'm curious - I will definitely show up, would love to meet you, and see if your wind is ready to blow when you look me in the eye standing 3 feet away.

This is such juvenile sh*t.

Obviously Jacob Lee, you have no sense of humor. It is what it is. Some people are really oversensitive I guess.

Use derogatory and inflammatory words like "pussy" and then try to pass it off as the other guy being too sensitive or no sense of humour?

um...right. Either way, we'll find out if you are a keyboard bandit without the courage to state your words in person or not. And no, this does not mean I'm some bully aching for a fist fight - civilized people agree to both sides consenting before coming to that. Otherwise it's just picking on someone. However, that said - I am wondering whether you'll be a gentleman enough to extend either a personal apology or accept my challenge to settle this as honorable gentleman of the old school used to - a good old fashioned regulated boxing match.

Chalk it up as "no sense of humour" if you want - but I am totally serious when I say that you have given me insult with no cause and therefore offended my personal honor. So, either extend a personal apology, agree to settle this as civilized gentlemen, or walk away as one who insults a man but does not stand by the words of his conviction...e.g. a coward.

Without I ever saying one derogatory or curse word to you, you found it necessary to insult and use language that in other times and places would have been considered fighting words.

So, when and where is this meet? Or has this been combined with that Porsche drive in the other thread? Either way is fine - anytime or place where you'll definitely be there, I will most assuredly show up to discover which option you choose.

This is supposed to be a fun event as it will be, and anticipating the excitement, there are always some good old-fashioned trash talk - have you seen 8 miles? I don't think it's meant to be anything personal. How about just settle it over a beer when we get to the restaurant?
