Leave him alone. He's got more enthusiasm for the 944 than most of us combined.

Who asked for your opinion? Craig has every right to ask a question he has on his mind about his car. Maybe you should go away?

just do what i do...if a topic is started by someone who's annoying, just don't read it. chances are there is going to be not a whole lot of good information in those posts, just a lot of bs.

you know what's worse is somebody who hides behind a new name. why are you afraid to show your real face, so to speak? if you're criticising somebody, be a man and stand up behind your words.

I'm with Blackfoot. Just ignore any posts that you think are ridiculous and/or stupid. I think Craig really adds to the mix, and posts some thought-provoking stuff from time to time. I also kinda enjoy sitting back and reading all the insults and name-calling. It's tempting to add my own little snide remark from time to time, but I try to remain an impartial observer.

So I say, Keep Posting, Craig!

Havn't seen anything in any of his posts that would be bad from an admin point of view

Although I don't condone the usage of a fake name in this case (though I've done it a couple of times myself to mess with other people), I personally think Craig should either go away, or change the way he posts something. I must point out, what bothers me most is the way his posts are worded, the assumptions, and how he expects us (me)to believe BS.

His freedom of speech is interfering with my right to a nice message board. I feel like I'm dumber after reading his posts, just for reading them...

It was quite similar with euro, but he's calmed down since he was new. There was another guy from excite I don't remember his name, anyway that's my take on it.

Ahmet...Why do you hate craig and his ways so much? Something you have to realize, if you don't already, is that BS is human nature...otherwise we wouldn't the criminal law system...so why do you fear it so much? I am sure you lie or exaggerate on things from time to time...I know I do, but not with facts of question. I don't see anything in craig's posts and your attempts to find holes in his facts that would make me believe he is lying or exaggerating...I just see somebody trying very hard to give somebody else a hard time for what ever your reasons may be. I have no problems with craig, his posts, or his claims. I admit I think he makes too many new topics...he should consolidate his thoughts for a day into one post, but thats not a big deal...also, he is has this ungodly obsession with 0-60 times, but I will admit I did in the past as well, so I have no qualms with it...

So...who is this fake poster. I can think of two people it might be...p0r2chby or craig...is that you james? The vote is in, and the nays have it. Laters

I swear to god I didn't not use a fake name. F'ing promise.
Well the way I see it. I wanted a faster 0-60 car just so it'd be more like modern cars and compete with them. I also obsess over the 1/4 times, cuz the faster these times are then most likely the car will be faster at any speeds... ;-) I've not done so many runs since I got new clutch (i wanna keep it new)

I'm in it with Craig, we are trying to make a 'better mousetrap' out of our NAs. I don't see what the problem is with him anyways. I mean he doesn't trash anyone on the Pelican board, he keeps to himself. So what he posts speed tales...I do too. Its the fact that some people are immature and immediately object about some of the littlest things. Can't we all just get along nice? I mean we all have Porsches. Its not like its Ford versus Chevy on this board...

Ribs, I don't fear misinformation, I just don't like it, that's ofcourse besides being annoyed. I've helped euro on more than one occasion, but I do mess with both of them (and as to trying to find false information? Please, hitting 170mph, 0-60 in 6.4?, stripping 100lbs of paint, do I REALLY need to prove anybody anything?), some of it is for fun, but some of it is real... The thing is I don't want anybody to believe that a 944 is faster than it actually is. If I had enough will to really find problems with the posts well, actually I already have, so I'll drop that

Enjoy your car for what it is, the car was never made for fast 0-60, there's no reason to make yourself think that this is what your car is good at. Wanna compete with modern cars? You're more than capable of it, just not 0-60.

"Please, hitting 170mph, 0-60 in 6.4..."

Hey, I don't remember Craig posting these figures (although I may be wrong). I don't recall him posting any top speed claims either. But I do remember him claiming some pretty good 0-60 times. He had several in the low 7's and I think did a 6.9 sec run.

This doesn't strike me as far-fetched BS. I've driven some quite fast n/a 944's (I've also driven a few slower ones too).

Hmmm, I don't seem to recall any Idiotic posts.

I'm sure were all gulity of a bit of off-topic, or "idiotic" post's if not not on purpose.

One of the good thing's of this bbs, is that everyone has a freedom to post, reply and Wax lyrical.

You try this on other boards and see how long you last.

I enjoy coming here not only to read about "porsche" type stuff but also to keep up with the gos. and occasional argument's.

So if it goes to far off-topic, the post get's deleated....

so what's the problem.

every familly needs a clown at times !

peace

just my 2c's worth

Adrian
