    Wow, I'm not sure what the fuck that statement was supposed to indicate, but OK, I'll go with that. I am in NO WAY saying the 4G is superior/inferior. I tune all sorts of cars all the time, and after the amount of time I've put in working on this stuff, I pretty much have gotten a feel for what the thresholds are of most stuff. That's all. Nothing less, nothing more.

    This coming from an asshat with a G20....or did you get rid of it to jump on the 240 bandwagon?

    George has probably forgotten more knowledge than you know, so just do us all a favor and STFU.

    I think it's pretty wrong to assume that just because a person owns a particular car that they have no knowledge of other cars. We don't own a Honda, but I assure you that we work on them all of the time. This goes for Lexus', BMW, Vipers, Corvettes, NSX's the list goes on and on of cars that we work on and have knowledge of without owning them. Not a personal attack BTW, just a response.

    I love these 'I got a 240 and I wanna swap in a xxxxDET, is this good/make me cool?'

    Christ, I learned to quit asking tech questions on local boards years ago. Not that nobody knows, but there's no better place to go for tech info than tech specific boards when searching online.

If i were serious I would back up my statement with many facts. IT WAS A JOKE ... nothing more nothing less ... A JOKE. If i need to break it down even more for anyone just let me know ... thanks
    anyone saying FUCK when it is not necessary if it was only a joke needs to chill the fuck out. I certainly did not jump you case. I only made a simple statement. A simple smilie or "just playing" would help people know it is a joke. This is the internet. We can't hear your tone of voice. If you need me to break it down anymore...LET ME KNOW

    is that better? BTW the only reason why i came back with that reply is because it seemed as if they were being assholes about the whole thing (which they were)

    Was I being an asshole? They ARE both assholes (that has nothing to do with me), but I don't know why my name was included in that bunch...because I responded to what you said? I couldn't tell that you were joking. If you were then no harm done, right?
