Though I haven't actually met you, just from talking to you I realize you are a TRUE zealous car nut. Though you like minis, it's very obvious you know your cars and have had more than your share of real die hard performance sport cars.

So I was just speaking the truth...nothing more, nothing less. You were making the same point that I used to tell Corvette guys... there are C5's and Z06's and though it may insult some, there is a difference.

The Stage I JCW is a great car, however, there IS a difference between a Stage I and a factory JCW.

And I better not hear any shiet from anyone for me saying that... I had my Stage I kit and loved it. I just love my factory JCW more.

I still love 'em all.

The Viper owners hate it when i tell them that my performance packages for viper r/t ,gts,acr,acr lemans,and srt 10 acr cars are different and to expect differences in performance.

i always ask them what type of Volvo/bmw/mercedes/lexus do they have at home

The bug's are cool but not my cup of tea, my 5 y.o. daughter could do a powerlap in one and hit the top of the chart.

Give me a 2000 hp ford gt or a 900 hp Porsche gt2 anyday.

Oh, I don't think Bugattis are the bestest car at all... I'd just like to see one in real life.

Nope, if I won millions, I'd buy two sport cars.

A Saleen S7 just cause I like them.

A ZR1 Corvette only because I think for the money, they are the best bang for the buck.

This debate has been going on on every forum that has "specialty" models. (Z06 vs. regular Corvette)

Obviously there is a difference between a JCW and factory JCW. Even the factory differentiates by putting a JCW emblem on the right side of the liftgate. On a Stage I kit, they add the JCW emblem on the left side and keep the MCS emblem.

That's the facts but who cares.... I like 'em all. I completely agree with LilRed saying we are all on the same quest... that is, to better our rides.

Enough said.

the best was back in the day people putting t/a 6.6 stickers on the shaker of a trans am that was equipped with a oldsmobile 403 , t/a 6.6 stickers only went on the L78 400 pontiac engine cars .

Well I can say I like the Z06 better than the ZR1, but that's my opinion, nothing more! Something about an all aluminum 427 in a brand new american muscle made sports car. But it's just that, my opinion.
