They got a fresh set of moderation due to it.
Then Central decided they were too good for SPO as well, and posted about 4 SPOs a day in their regional forum...and got a new set of moderators as well.
Now Western has finally joined the ranks of regions that don't know what the fuck they are doing on the internet.
Welcome.

Gearing/Weight
So what is the difference between a turbo inline four making 300 lb ft between 3,500 rpm and 7,000 rpm and a v8 making 300 lb ft between 2,500 rpm and 5,000 rpm? Not very much with the difference in gearing to suite each engines working speeds..
So the comment "my engine makes more torque at 2,500 than yours does" is pretty much completely useless when the two engines you are comparing have COMPLETELY different powerbands and gearing to match..
Weight, most v8 cars weigh more, probably why they have v8's, and vice versa, common sense. So car X has 150 lb ft more torque but weighs 1000 lbs more.. Sure it looks great on a dyno and posted on the net, but you really have little to no advantage on the street because of a heavy ass car in the first place..
Not directing towards anyone, but I thought I would throw the obvious out there!
