Just because I drive a B8 S4 and you drive an RS4 doesn't mean that we can't be (internet) friends, right?

Sheesh.
I deleted where I called you an idiot. I'll assume you're just confused.

But answer the question. Why did you say you were grabbing popcorn when a local B8 guy said he could get together to test his car? You're the one who implied there was some contentious showdown about to happen, when in reality I just want to get you guys some data on your cars because I hear lots of conflicting reports on the effectiveness of launch control.

In case you are still confused, don't forget I have met and spent time with half a dozen B8 S4 guys from these forums. I have no problems being friends with them and don't play these lame *** platform vs. platform games so many people do. I will step in and call someone out for sharing misinformation or being a moron but I like all of the cars, thank you very much. For the twentieth time, don't forget that I owned a B8 in early 2009, before you probably even placed an order for yours.

Ummmmm, because I'm genuinely interested to read/hear about the results? Had you considered that as a possibility for the reason for my post??

Seriously, someone has a chip on their shoulder in all these discussions, and it isn't me.

What's the point of pointing out that you owned a B8 before I bought mine, or that you have friends with B8s??? How are those things even relevant to a discussion about launch control??

I'm also not the one calling people names.

Regardless, I'll look forward to the results of the testing.

umm...nobody uses the popcorn crack on forums to convey 'genuine interest'.

My reference to the fact I have owned a B8 platform car for ages is simple...you (and a load of guys on the B8 forum) love to paint me as a B8 hater (when I've never said anything negative about the car in reality). Usually I am painted as a B8 hater when I point out the ABSURDITY of someone's claims or when I defend the RS4.

Anyway, if you want to play this game where the popcorn app was all innocent, that's fine. I'll move on.
