The point of the thread was on the show, not whether the people donating parts for it had their shit together or not...

Yeah, I pulled that word out of the past because it fits you.
If you are going to whine like a little girl when a fucking television show fails to go into detail about something then stop watching television.
The nature of that medium is not to truly inform.
If you are going to continue on after that and
(I keep using the word if, but you already have and probably will again in the future)
do anything other than hand out 'thanks' to someone such as myself, when he/she has directed you towards the company that supplied the turbo and could in turn supply you with anything you wanted to know about it, then kill yourself.
I know you just wanted to whine like a little bitch about a show which fails to cater to the automotive elite such as yourself and when I presented you with the missing information it went against your goal which is to show yourself off as someone whose opinion matters and for that I am sorry.
I did not see the show so I cannot determine whether Ben from AGP did present himself as a "clueless fucktard." But I am happy to see that you are trying to pick up where he might fail.

Your post proves that you did not comprehend Evan's point. It was not that Evan was criticizing the performance of the AGP turbo he was criticizing the show's lack of technical detail. And whether you are "elite" or not the "why" of modifications done on any show such as Tuner Transformation is just as important as the "what". If the show is just going to consist of some ignorant dudes slapping parts on a car without knowing why and having mock arguments to make the show interesting I'd rather just have ignorant models in whipped cream bikinis do the same thing.
I don't have a problem with you disagreeing with whatever point of view with anybody as you and Evan often do. But don't start personally attacking people because they disagree with you. Evan does not need to 'thank you' because you can post a link any more than you need to thank anyone else for making a counterpoint to one of your factual or logical fallacies. Show a modicum of maturity and dare I say it, modesty and refrain from name calling if you are trying to make a point and not be an asshat yourself.

I meant what's the point of even having those guys on the show if they don't know anything. I'd rather see hot women on the show if that is the case.

I made my comments (after watching the show, something you havent even done) and couldnt give a lesser shit if you are for some reason offended by them, perhaps because the comments hit close to your heart.

Its not whether I can obtain the information elsewhere, its what the show is about. If you think "Stock sux y0 cuz its STOCK" and commonly find yourself saying "Friends dont let friends drive STOCK" then this show is just for you and you can continue to defend it to your heart's content.
Quote:I did not see the show so I cannot determine whether Ben from AGP did present himself as a "clueless fucktard."Given that the show uses a hired ricer as its "engine" guy I doubt it was your vaulted "Ben", but if it was, and his reasoning for replacign a turbocharger on a car is because "Friends dont let friends drive STOCK" then yes, he is a clueless fucktard and Id really really love to hear you argue otherwise.

as much as i have disliked that S00peR 2nR show in the past, they did have a VERY good series on their show about a supra TT buildup. it was a 5 part series, and i have the first 4 parts if anyone is interested. the two brothers involved in the buildup go into detail about the parts they use, and some interesting techniques involved in building. overall a pretty nice little project to watch considering each episode is only like 20 minutes.
i'm pissed i dont have the last episode, since that's where you get a chance to see the s00pra do it's stuff. the goal of the project was "1000, 10, 1", which meant 1000 horsepower, 10 sec. 1/4, and 1 lateral g on the pad.

Travis, relax and take a few breaths man, we're all freinds here.
It's my belief that this show's biggest fallacy is that they don't even attempt to explain the benefits of most of thier stuff, nor the drawbacks (big turbo=more power but slower spool, suspension=better handling, kicks your ass on bumpy roads). Instead of the fake fight, they'd be much better off talking about the actual parts being installed. Travis' post gave me a good thought though. TT could do a lot for themselves if they would bring an actual sales rep on the show to talk about the products going on the car

My point was that I'd rather see women in bikinis and whipped cream instead of ANY man, regardless of what he did or did not know

Nope. In fact, I did not make one comment on the show in the first place, because I have not seen it.
For someone with an 8th grade reading level, such as yourself, I cannot understand how you missed what I was doing, which was just showing you where to learn up on what they did to the srt4.
You seemed mad that they would have the gall, even on tv!, to leave some technical bits out and I thought you would be happy to know what was done. Once again, not defending or criticizing the show, just letting you in on the top secret work that that srt4 underwent.
Obviously it was wrong of me and next time you complain that a television show left you ignorant, I will go ahead and leave it like that.

Some? How about all?
y0z we gots this fat ass turbo we hookinup the s-arrrr-teee wif today!
Horsepower TV on spike channel has more tech in one episode than a whole season of tuner transformation, even if they are good ol' boys.
