oh my.

ahhh, notice how we havent mentioned a car yet. The viper was quite bad at pi660

i see you testing!

i know you do!

Lol, no more driving the car you love. Lol.

we have another love lol

Slags!

sweet

Is that a challenge Chris??

Hahaha, you XTI guys just love throwing out the challenges don't ya!

It was more a reference on your moving onto a new love so soon after leaving your last one than anything.

Besides, for it to be a challenge there would have to be some competition involved, and I'm afraid you guys pose no competition at all to me...

oh snap its on lol. I talk ALOT, and all these "challenges" are never too serious. I guess you can say XTI's keys spend alot of time in the hypothetical basket

Another works team?

The way we figured it was, We were a works team with mopar, why not be a works team with ferrari

I just mean that Dan stated he was going to be the works team. Even Luca "visited" his "factory"

well we brought Enzo back to live, and he visited ours

lol must be good then

I just don't see how you guys could be so high and mighty with your Viper selection, "we didn't pick it because it was the fastest, we love the car and would run it even if it wasn't the fastest, which it isn't" was what I remember you guys saying. Now the viper has been downgraded and you aren't running it because you aren't fast enough now. So hypocritical of the team. I have honestly lost respect for the XTI guys and I have never had an ill thought about the team before this. I really thought you guys loved the car so much you were going to fight in the car no matter what. What a let down.

thanks...

What i really meant is, that the viper is no fun anymore, it used to be fun to drive, and race with but at this spec, its no fun to drive anymore, and when we race with the racing just plain stupid, being about 2 seconds off pace doesnt cause fun racing, it causes headaches, if we kept the viper, it would be Avenger and I in the back of the field bumping fenders as we tried to muscle the car through corners, while we would get lapped, i mean we still love the viper but it just wasnt fun anymore. and IMO, fun is more important than a virtual car

ooooooo dems fightin wordsss

Defending my team and teammate, I know how odd it is to switch cars.
Thing is from the start of the "debate" XTI was running very similar laps to everyone else at 670. Once some of the "better" drivers saw it better, the whole whining thing started. Besides being accused of "sandbagging" because we weren't beating everyone elses laps, we still fought for our car alone and tried our best to make it fun and still useable. Truth is, we can't make this thing fun AND competitive.
We lost the battle, the Viper got knocked down, we're getting over it, unlike some of the community. We're not going to run a competitive car if we're not having a good time with it, and we're also not going to run a slow car just to try to have fun, when we'd obviously be at the back with no action which would also result in no fun. I did that in FM2, and have no intention of doing it again.
There are a few individuals I have in mind that were Anti-Viper and I know are snickering that now in their mind its "fair." Im quite positive that if we ran the Viper at 670, we still wouldn't have been out in front, and im pretty sure everyone else knows that too.
Basically, we had the car running fair before, now it getting knocked down is just plain stupid. We tried everything to make it right, but we couldn't. THAT is why we changed. We love the car, but we're not going to run in something thats not fun or try to prove anything. If my best at Catalunya was 1:49: 3 at 670, who in their right mind would think we would want to run in a car that only pulled a 51:1? XTI is in this for the fun, not to please or prove anything to anyone, so that's what we are going to do, whether or not anyone likes it.

We didnt want to change from the viper, but really we had no choice, i made this thread and all my comments in good fun and trying to make light of a not so good situation

i dub thee vipergate

I accept thy dubbing lol
