Gah!

You are indeed right. Just like audiophiles.

I thought that didn't look right last night - should have double-checked.

Actually "porschephiles" is the word you are looking for
Coming from a word philia which indicates a signficant degree of affection for a given object.

A country boy goes to the city looking for work, but doesn't have much luck, so he starts going door-to-door.

He arrives at a big fancy house and the owner comes to the door. The country boy explains his dilemma, and asks if there's any odd job he could do.

The owner says, "OK, if you go into the garage you'll find some paint. I'll pay you $100 to paint my porch".

A few hours later, the doorbell rings, and the paint-spattered country boy is standing there.

"You're done already?" the owner asks.

"Yep", says the boy, "and I think there's something you should know."

"What's that?" says the owner.

"Well, that ain't a porch, mister, it's a Ferrari".

True, but your dealing with an extremely narrow powerband in a high revving motor trying to achieve the same VE as a bigger engine that has much more power under the curve. Not to mention the wear and tear of constant high revving.

And the LSx based engines are getting over 100% VE due to exhuast scavenging.

To me the LSx motors are the pennicle of engineering achievement when you consider you get 505HP naturally aspirated in a light weight aluminum small block, and towards 30MPG, all while maintaining low emissions vehichle status.

Combustions chamber design, and a lot of other things go into burning the fuel efficiently etc. These are the types of things that make a world class engine.

I think the quote above was perfect for many competing engines out there. "Faulty design, overengineered to perfection"

However, technically the correct spelling should be Porschephiles.

Given that many of the people posting on this forum amazingly don't understand the difference between their/there/they're, this slight misspelling does not look that bad.

I guess, there is something to the "corvette owner" stereotype after all.

I vividly remember a thread that was started in C5 gen a while ago. The title was "stuped earopian car owners think that they are much better then us"

That's not necessary.

I posted a similar thread on Rennlist.com against Vettes to see if there would be similar responses. Very few replies and nothing degenerated into name calling or mud slinging, which doesn't surprise me one bit and might be argued they are a more classy upscale group because of it.

There is seriously more **** slinging Vette owners than there are Porsche geeks that do the same. Many here are the pot calling the kettle black and should stand back, take a look in the mirror and re-evaluate what they think is true.

Are you kidding me?

Take a look at 6speedonline.com when you have a free moment.

The only opinions that matters to me is the opinions of those people that I know and care about. What a Porsche owner thinks about anything is less than irrelevant.

Why would you guys even care?

The concept at play here is called. "cognative dissonance". If I was considering buying a Corvette vs. a Porsche, and bought the Vette, then I would emphasize the negatives of the Porsche and the positives of the Vette (in my mind), thereby making the Vette the logical choice.

blandcastle

Its a pity you didn't take the time to invest in either one.

I would have to agree with that. If I owned one of those cars, I would think that is was the best thing around too, I guess. However, one thing that I have never done, is enter a porsche forum at all , let alone for the express purpose of making a complete nuisance of myself . I would have to say that shows who is trolling and who is not, doesn't it ?! If you feel compelled to go to the other car's forum to stick up for your brand, you are very insecure about your choice , in my opinion. I could care less about the porsche forum and what they have to say . I am on here to learn everything I can about my choice of automobile. I think that the people that come on here just to screw with others should go back to their little corner and play with their own forum. They are just obstructing the real purpose of the real forum.
