Have you even heard of SR Auto Group? If not, I suggest you do your research prior to posting such comments as a moderator.


Are you freakin' kidding? A tuner is a tuner is a tuner. It doesn't matter if you're modifying an H22a in a Civic, a T6 in a Volvo, or the 5.2 V10 in an R8. The mechanical knowledge is the exact same, regardless of what engine it is.

SR Auto Group is a Revscene sponsor? That's news to me... especially since they aren't listed anywhere in the Vendor list.

I would love to know whats going on under the hood.

otherwise i can put on rims and 3m bodykit myself in my garage too, only difference is i dunt have no lambo and r8.
You can call it pmsing if you want. I am just speechless as to what kind of class some members and moderator display on this site. Its constant non stop bashing.

SR never claimed to be a performance tuner. You are trying to compare two totally different things. Its like comparing Japanese cuisine vs Italian cuisine.

You can put on rims and 3m bodykit in your garage... yes you are correct. And yes the difference is that you dont have no Lambo and R8.

SR Auto Group is just our own little Unique Whips. You know, throw some D's on an expensive car, sand off the gloriously applied stock paint to replace it with some primer, and called it "SRed" while tugging on your t-shirts shoulders and leaning back.

Then, bitch 30 years later about how you found a sweet Lamborghini in someone's garage, and you want to restore it, but some douchefag swapped out the original leather for some Gucci logo fabric and ostrich hide, the original wheels were replaced by some garish two-tone "rims," and the whole car would have to be shipped back to Italy to get the original paint reapplied.

Seriously.

Do you think any of their shit will look good in 5 years? Fuck, 3 years even? Just another shop full of two-bit hacks all too willing to accept the business of the overindulgent, unappreciative, trust fund and criminal classes.

You are entitled to your own opinion but if you think their business is serving overindulgent, unappreciative, trust fund and criminal classes I would like to see where your accusations are coming from. Just coz you cant afford it doesnt mean ppl that can afford it are getting finer things in life thru illegal means. I am sure lots of ppl still work hard for their money and you are making false assumptions/accusations. If you dont have facts to back you up I suggest you dont say anything coz it makes you look like an idiot.

You can put on rims and 3m bodykit in your garage... yes you are correct. And yes the difference is that you dont have no Lambo and R8.
I'm speechless at your inability to argue a point. Trying to somehow pull on the heartstrings of people who really don't give a shit with your wounded bashed member approach.

Reality check. You dished it out first. Now you got it back. Handle it like a man because right now you sound like one of these guys...



... after seeing one of these cars at Aberdeen. I bet you can't even lift a wrench much less know what the fuck BUILDING a car really is.

So turn your computer off, pick up your Work wheels catalogue, choke your 2" penis and let real men talk.

Thats a question you ask him/her. I dont see how threezeros comment was ::apparently:: correct. Like I said... not every tuner or whatever you want to call it is about horsepower. Some people like all show... some people like all go. If the car is fast enough in its stock form and the owner feels that their is no need to make it go faster great! Why not make the car look more unique by playing with styling ques from the exterior such as wheels or paint? Get my drift?

Seriously. Fuck you, and fuck your shitty grasp of English. I know everyone's sick of seeing the "learn to write" posts, but seriously. You need to learn to fucking write.

Now. We all know you work for them, we all know this is YOUR business we're lambasting, and we all don't give a flying fuck. Welcome to the backlash of killing the local enthusiast community with your Fast and Furious inspired bullshit. You "build" these cars for your "portfolio" of customers and then come on here insulting our low opinions of your cars? What, you feel we're not entitled to be a wee bit less than impressed with a bunch of "exotics" that have had ABSOLUTELY NO MECHANICAL WORK done to them? Go fuck yourself.

And you know what, how about this. Take your sense of entitlement and shove it up your ass. How about you prove to ME that you haven't taken a dime from someone that earned it in the drug trade? How about that?
You dumb fuck.

You've got an epileptic's chance at a laser light show on here.

PS: The duplicate accounts fool no one.

PPS: Why not fuck with the "exterior ques like wheels and paint?" Lets see. Wheel and tire combination being the first thing the suspension engineers determine before actually building the suspension and determining spring and damper rates, there's a pretty damn good reason not to fuck with them; it's called handling. Oh, and the paint... well, lets see... Ching Chong Wing Wong down at your local bodyshop doesn't have shit on the paint booths at the manufacturer's plants.

Great come back. Spoken like a true man. You are a real man now with your penis comments and pictures of asian men/boys/girl? saved on your photobucket album. ethugging at its finest. yeah yeah I cant lift a wrench blah blah bah and I am so hurt blah blah blah. You are the one with the inability to argue to a point coz you are the one resorting to replying in an immature manner. Think 3 or 4 times before you speak coz if you dont you might end up looking like a fool like now.

When all fails at arguing to a point on Revscene accuse opponent of being Hyde or Spoonworks so he/she gets banned or e-raped.

Do you think any of their shit will look good in 5 years? Fuck, 3 years even? Just another shop full of two-bit hacks all too willing to accept the business of the overindulgent, unappreciative, trust fund and criminal classes.
ever heard of vinyl?
do they care if the car will be still in style for 3 yrs? they will just get a new car to play with in 3 months, well its something that a guy that drive a 30 year old rusted land rover won't ever understand.

SR doesnt pay for sponsorship though...

we've discuessed it years ago both me and cyrus and it doesnt make sense for SR to sponsor RS as we dont cater to enough of their demographics.

dunt get me wrong. i love to see revolution car pics and sr exotic. but until they put out cars with real mechnical work + tuning, they are just a fancy parts retailer that will help you put bolt on parts, bodykit and rims on the car.

I will still go to them if i need part and they have good price.

style is very subjective and we could argue all day about what a hot looking car is. power gain through skillful mechanic work and tuning is indisputable.
