Awesome, appreciate that!

Meaning only a 5 lb weight reduction at best....

Man I wasn't saying anything bad about the intake or the people who are buying them. Just saying its quite a bit compared to the competition for an intake that was outperformed by some of the competition for less. Also $700 for a carbon fiber intake isn't bad, Weistec's intake for the W205 C63 is over $1500. Your money, your choice. Except if you buy a Mustang. Then I'll say something

I never said anything about hating anything or anyone. Ive owned three gen5 camaros and dozens of other GM products. WGAF. I came back here trying to help my father-in-law find answers to a couple of issues he's having with his Gen6, and Im thinking of going back to a Camaro. None of this should matter on making an opinion that a part isnt worth the cost for all the more benefit you get other than to say you have one. To me, if my post wakes someone up to not wasting $750.00 for little performance benefit then it was worth the few that got butt hurt because I didnt agree with them. I didnt need to actually own a Camaro to see the waste. Ive been in racing and the hotrod came a long time.

From Urban Dictionary.

Quote:
Hater:

A person that simply cannot be happy for another person's success. So rather than be happy they make a point of exposing a flaw in that person.

Hating, the result of being a hater, is not exactly jealousy. The hater doesn't really want to be the person he or she hates, rather the hater wants to knock someone else down a notch.

I'm not urban. Even that definition doesn't fit. I was about a part being a waste. Not a person. Do you know the definition of, never mind. Lol

If I’m worried about 5lbs that much I’ll eat some salads and take my fat ass to the gym a few times.

Planet fitness membership is $10 a month say I go for a year + their yearly fee of $40 = $160 and day the average salad cost $7 I end up with roughly 85 salads. Gonna save a lot more than $5 for the money.

Since when did car forums start getting SJW's on them? You guys seriously think that consumer opinion about a particular company, product or service should be silenced and we should hand out participation trophies to anyone that creates a product that half or more of the respondents don't like (for any reason they wish, their voice, their choice).

Alright guys, the next time someone releases another for our cars, even if it is worthless or overpriced, let's all be very sensitive their the products' and the companies feelings. Only post happy thoughts. Critical comments will not be allowed.

Well...critical comments and critical comments of the critical comments are both allowed! The coin flips both ways.

Interestingly, I don't think there was a single comment in here that they'd buy it, or already have it. And that is telling...
