Will somebody please explain why the forum is even moderated if trolls are going to be allowed to have free run of the damn things?

I started a new thread in the suggestions and feedback forum. Would appreciate any feedback any others have to offer. Click here:

I don't think Derek should be banned for calling me Star Wars boy. Yes he is a 'tard, but he shouldn't be banned for it.

Just my 2cents.

I've had threads started about me before.....I'm not really that bad. :v

I think people can use the ignore feature if they don't want to hear from me right? The moderators are pretty cool. I had a quote in my sig. a while back that they asked me to remove, and I did. Some people really get irked easy. Yooz guys can make fun of me all you want, what do I care?

I am a self-admitted wise ***, but I also enjoy long walks on the beach, a fine Merlot and Baroque chamber music.....oh wait, no, thats from my old personal ad..... These guys complaining to the mods, are the kids who got sand kicked in their face at the shore, or stuffed in their lockers in high-school.

Help me Wilhelm Gottlieb Daimler you're my only hope......... :p

This thread is not about TR. Hence the goal of a troll. Take it somewhere else, like OFF TOPIC per say.

Last dyno was about 555rwhp and 620 torque. If correcting for 20% automatic drivetrain loss, that would be about 695hp and 775 torque.

Impressive must be one brutal beast..... 700 hp in an E-klass, that must be quite an experience....

1 question though.... would you be cracy enough to put Nitrous in you M5 to

i wasn't demanding that he get banned. i was only saying he was very stupid if he couldn't tell they were talking about him...he said someone else shouldn't be banned...but they were talking about him - it's not important anymore.

Awsome video! I WILL get an AMG.....someday..... The mustang was giving it all it had if I was hearing it right. Liked the way it chirped going into second, during the second round. Watching it get totally stommmped made me proud! Whats the deal with all of this "more expensive cars SHOULD win" ? Cobra mustangs are built for horsepower wars, so that's were the money is at while the rest of the car is cheap. Remember the Cobra R? That was one expensive cheap car! Didnt even have a radio or back seat! Other cars are built for luxury only, slow as all get out, but expensive. So from what i've seen, = matching boils down to performance, not price.

It's a blast to drive, at least until I blow it up. As for the M5, who knows. Unless I fall in love with it, I really only want it for a month or two in order to get real track numbers and then sell it. Talked to them yesterday and they are still telling me an August order with an October delivery. We'll see.

To be fair to the Cobra, it's not supercharged or sprayed. So where I have 2 power adders, it has none. Driven perfectly, it should be a 12.7 or so car. It would lose to a stock E55. But the driver is a great guy and the car sounds awesome.

Thanks Noredline.
