You carbon fiber bigots out there are in denial, and living in the past. You call it "ricey", only because the manufacturers sell to the largest market, the ricers. But, you damn well know you'd opt for all the carbon fiber options you could get if you had the half mil. to spend on a Porsche Carrera GT. How can you call it "ricey", the whole damn dream car is full of carbon fiber. It happens to be a technological advancement, not some kind of fashion statement. Yeah, I think the stuff looks great. I'd love to get enough people together to convince rennspd.com to give me a good price on a pair of 916 bumpers, a pair of hoods, a rear wing, and to make molds for standard rocker panels, and a targa top. Maybe even some interior parts like dash top, bottom, face, doorpanels, center console, backpad. Stronger and lighter are two things you have to like. If you dont like the look, pad it or paint it. But, you can't look at a Porsche Carrera GT and make me believe you think it's "ricey". :finger2:

QUOTE(MattR @ Sep 22 2004, 09:26 PM) The topic started with you coming out from left field and telling everyone they're stupid and have no taste. Tangent? We're talking about classy sports cars on this board (and beer), and you bring up rice rockets. And I think carbon fiber is detestable. I think the carbon accents on the cgt interior are without taste. But thats me. Porsche has a much better reputation, and has made a helluva lot more money then me, so I think they're right. You are pissed at the world for some unknown reason and to take it out, you get a car for purists, join a forum, and bash their stereotypes. If you cared to look at the people on this board, you'll find a lot of really diverse people on here that come from all backgrounds with different tastes. But unfortunatly you have your opinions about who we are, and frankly, you can go to hell if you dont like us. Hey, chill dude. I read some previous threads on the subject, and found a lot of negative crap about the material. My intent was never to insult anyone. I do respect your opinion. I'm sure you would have no problem with a functional, reasonably priced, carbon fiber part. You'd just paint it. I have only observed others getting a lot of attention to their postings by being confrontational. Sorry if the actions of others have mislead me. I apologise if I hurt your feelings. I certainly don't think there could be a 914 owner that I would consider anything but intelligent or tastefull. They chose the best damn car a hard earned dollar could buy. I hope you get yours off the blocks soon. I'm sure you'll smile a lot more when you get your first taste. Mine has been down with a slipping clutch for a couple of months now. Should be back up after Christmas when I can afford the parts. By the way, what's up with your car? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
