Why is it so hard..

ELtim · 23-03-2008, 12:22 AM

To explain to somebody that the engine isn't all the cars performance relies on?

More info Bro.

Some people are too simple, and in this case I have found you are better off not talking to them about cars. Not to undermine their automotive knowledge, but to avoid the frustration of putting up with them making you look smart.

Arguing with somebody about how Holden aren't Chev rip off's (yes defending Holdens).

It just bugs me that somebody can be so ignorant to think that the engine means everything.

Damn i am the most biast of them all but i will respond to this with dignity. Holden arent Chev rip offs. Holden is Holden. Chevrolet is Chevrolet. Holden have always borrowed their styling and mechanicals from other makes but that does not in anyway make them inferior. A current sales chart will tell you that. As much as i hate Commodores, the Blue Oval could do well by taking a leaf out of their book. I may be blasted for writing this but i dont care. Engine alone does not make a car. Its the whole package.

I'm just glad your arguing about cars. For a moment looking at the thread title I thought here we go another school boy starting to grow up.

I just used that to shut him down completely.

Yeah some people are blind to think that only the engine is an indication of a car's performance.

There's other factors like weight, handling, aerodynamics etc, but trying to get this through their thick heads, you'd be better off getting sense out of a brick wall.

As for the Holden/Chev thing, since I own a Holden it gets annoying. Holden do nothing no differently to any other manufacturer. They're just blasted on more, because they don't share the same name as other subsidiaries of GM.

stevz · 23-03-2008, 04:44 PM

Contrary to many people's beliefs, the V8 engines used in Commodores are not a "Chev" engine. They are a GM Powertrain engine which are used in Chev's, just the same way they are used in Holdens.

That's a question I've always wondered.

My car has more Nissan parts then late model Commodores have Chev parts, but I don't want a Nissan badge anywhere near my car, because my rego and compliance plates say Holden.

2, 1, bang.

thread starter: if you're actually looking for a constructive conversation, which i'm not 100% sure you are, maybe start a thread with more detail and a bit of background to what you're talking about. That way you also minimise the risk of clowns making stupid comments.
