Is the GR/GV chassis a widebody?
#47
There is a reason why cars like the M3, GT-R, Subaru, and EVO are the kings of the time attack track speeds/times. Domestic cars are great for off the line speed and a quick 1/4 time. However they have no place on a real track at real speeds around real corners.

The list keeps going but I dont want to commit more time to that.

This is simply what is called 'attention bias'. Each of those individuals has a pre-set subjective preference/bias (JR = wide-body, OB = Ford sucks) and they only notice facts/opinions that support those perceptions and ignore anything that contradicts it.

My dislike of fords comes from direct experience.

You personal dislike comes from your personal experiences. Nothing wrong with that. To each their own. That's that's all it is; meaningless single data point (just like my build history). Everyone's mileage varies.
Without specific context of your builds; cars owned, what purpose, built process, problems encountered, ultimate budget/timeline overruns, quality of parts/labor used, etc etc etc...and, most important, how everything compared to your personal subjective expectations...it is just some nebulous internet posturing.
And regardless, aren't we all car enthusiasts here? Just with different preferences and passions? I seriously don't get all this elitism and snobbery. So what if people like form over function builds? Or Ford vs Chevy? Who cares? As long as the individual admits ownership/accountability for his intentions...what does it matter?
