    Default I'm doing this speech

    ....about .... well I'm not exactly sure what about. I was thinking about doing it about Ferrari's manufacturing plant in Maranello, Italy, but I'm not sure I can squeeze 4min of at least semi-interesting information out of that. Anyone have any constructive ideas? Green and :boobies: for good ideas. BTW, its due at 12, lol.

    You can squeeze four mins out of anything. That's how i passed speach without even preparing.

    1. Anyways, Ferrari's plant has interesting things about it. For one, their use of trees to keep the oxygen level right. The facilitites wind tunnel and F1 test circuit.....

    2. Honda's hatred of two strokes can be justified.

    3. Chinese auto industries abuse of trademarks and copyrights by cheaply cloning vehicles from other countries and selling as their own.

    4. Why diesels are better than hybrids.

    Is that what you're looking for?

    Meh, those are boring and over-done. People tend to zone out when you bring up such issues in a simple speech.

    Yea....but I just found out about this FCX Clarity that was on Top Gear. Shit seems like the future of cars for real.

    For the unenlightened ones: Check This and This out.

    Thanks Brandon.

    Good ideas though guys, but I think I might go with the "future of cars" idea.

    The Porsche 959 was Nissan's target when designing the GT-R. The chief engineer, Naganori Itoh, intended to use the car for Group A racing, so the design specification was drawn up in conjunction with a copy of the Group A rules. The Nordschleife production car record at the time of development was 8'45" - set by a Porsche 944. Nissan test driver Hiroyoshi Katoh reset the record with a time of 8'20".[11] Best Motoring managed 8'22"38

    You are a god damn dumbass.. What does any of that have to do with the Porsche 911 Turbo vs GTR rivalry?

    You have quoted a passage referring to the Porsche 959 (which is a supercar) and a Porsche 944 ( which is a shit Porsche).. The Turbo vs. GTR "rivalry" is only since the new GTR you idiot.. Because the 959 (which isn't the turbo, NOOB) was a benchmark, didn't make it a rivalry.. There is a HUGE diference between a "benchmark" and a "rivalry"..

    God damn it, go back to reading Nissan promotional catalogs.. You should not ever mention Porsche in any of your posts..

    http://jalopnik.com/5071142/what-sta...nissan-rivalry

    The Alpina-renault A110 was a rival of the early 911 models..

    Too bad they don't look as good.

    Clearly Ferrari is the superior auto-brand out of the two, regardless of who won more races.

    That's like being the smartest kid at the special olympics.

    Oh, so whoever won more races is the superior car brand? Never knew that's why people decide which car is better.


    You're another guy who gets hard for Porsches, gtfo.

    Well in this case, arguing between Porsche and Ferrari where both brand's number one priority is automobile racing, and out of all automobile manufacturers are the most involved, and spend more money/time/resources on racing than any other because their image depends on it... YES..

    I don't give a shit about the racing though, so my idea of being a stellar company doesn't revolve around that. I'm sure that isn't the only thing they care about. And Ferraris look much better, have a faster top of the line car, have a more diverse lineup of cars, and overall a better automobile brand.

    No, it comes with the territory. Driving some expensive Porsche and all of the sudden you're the man.

    Only someone who thinks they are the man would brag about being french...


    And 81911, thanks for calling me champ. Appreciate the compliment.

    That was fun while it lasted, but I gotta get back to class.

    Fuck you guys. I don't care that I'm not responding. You didn't own me. And Ferrari doesn't have a SUV right now, so forget that.

    Enjoy driving your nazimobile.

    What's wrong with a 500+hp SUV that handles better then half the regular cars on the road, and can still go off roading like a mofo? lol

    No Doubt Porsche as the most successful automotive racing record. Hell they won the dakar rally in 1986.

    But Comparing them with Ferrari is a joke. Ferrari doesn't care about anything besides F1. That it.

    That's also not true...lol...at all.

    They do spend their factory time mostly on F1 yes, but there is Ferrari Challenge, their ALMS effort, FIA effort, etc. True not 100% factory, but hey...they are giving Porsche a run for their money.
