It means I dismiss your shit because I don't need to be told I'm wrong for the fucking tenth or eleventh time about horsepower. Here's a red GTX for Tuesday.

Z06 FP article, posted a picture of '67 L88 wishing GM went the N/A route and surpassed it, suddenly flooded with posts saying I'm wrong. I get it, SAE is a more true measure of horsepower than gross, but I don't need to be told over and over again. Once is enough, especially when posters get fucking cheeky about it.

What would make them think that SAE Net comes at the wheels and not the crank?

IIRC, the Z06 was the first car to be rated SAE Certified under a new system I don't remember any details of.

And 9 out of 10 of these clowns does a bunch of Internet research prior to posting a correction you've already seen 20 times.

I totally know these feels, bro.

Oh, but I have esoteric knowledge that I will pretend that everyone should know, therefore making it not esoteric . This disparity in my knowledge vs. yours will make a fine cudgel for internet appendage wagging.

And thank you for the '72 B-body. I need one someday.

My favorite are the ones that come in a few hours or even a day later like they are about to give you true enlightenment. Suck my crank-shaft. You are a day late and a dollar short.

*I feel your pain.

I wish I had now, but when I originally saw that I almost jumped in with a "we fucking get it guys, Gross and Net HP ratings are different and I don't care either!"

Sometimes it's just fun to talk about a hp number without thinking too hard about it.

FWIW using dismiss is doing it right. You own the discussion under your comment. Better to clean up the useless noise and repetitive junk than let it all sit there for no reason.

Exactly! I thought it'd be fun to exceed the legendary L88's power with the next Z06 but apparently FP's on supah-cereal mode today. The engine's power is a legend, legends are usually not true but still popular and historical, I don't need a lesson on horsepower that completely ruins the fun.
