Re: i did feel bad , like a real noob :-(
the difference between me and you other than being black and from Jamiaca. and married to a white woman. is that the fact that I gives props where props is deserved. I dont just hate a car because of where it was made, I hate it because of what it is, and what it can do.

Re: i did feel bad , like a real noob :-(
Ever work on a quad4? It sucks big fat donkey dick. Just had to throw that in. lol.
I like a car for what it is, how it looks, and just personal preference. I dont see hating a car or manufacturer just becuase of its country of origin. I just recently got into Hondas, I was hard core domestic for the longest time, but I couldnt feed my Ram with gas anymore so in came the cheapo 4 banger. It happened to be a Honda, and I decided Ill do a search and see what can be done to it. In comes HMT. Dont get me wrong, my dream car that one day I will own is a 340 Duster w/ a pistol grip 4 speed. I have friends & co-workers that drive fox body mustangs, C5 vette, lt1 camaro, ls1 trans am, and one even has a 325ci. They all have their flaws and advantages, but then again NONE of the above cars are stock anymore. They are all fun to drive, just some put more money and time/effort into their cars than others. I dont see disrespecting someone elses hobby or past time because of their perefernce of manufacturer. I see both of your points, but I dont see why people that have domestics accept the fact that there is more to life than the big 3? On that same note, the Import guys (jap and german) have to respect that fact that the US uses a different aproach to making power, but make power nonetheless.
What erks me the most is that I catch ---- from domestic car drivers all the time about me showing up at the track and running a **** poor time (15.7 no turbo yet). Talking ---- like "shoulda kept your sewing machine powered car at home" and ----. Its so tiring listening to that ----. Its just as bad as the ------- ricer ******* that talk ---- like "my fart canned civic will hang with that vette..." Come on, really, cant someone just go to the track and have fun and run what I run and dont worry about what im doing, and just mind your own ----? WTF!
/vent
For the comment on going 120 in a ls1 f-body...I rode in my buddys trans am at a little over 100 w/ the front sway bar disconnected to help him launch at the track, that was ------- SCARY! Its fine when the bars connected, but that thing was all over the road with it off. BTW, he runs low 11s with 150 shot & some internals with an auto and 2.89 (I think) desert gears in the back. I liked his car
Its blown for now, I guess 200 off the line was too much for one pass, he was trying to hit high 10s

Re: i did feel bad , like a real noob :-(
i agree
ive owned two hondas, one being turbocharged.
i ran 9.2 in the 1/8 and 14.2@102mph 10psi in my turbo integra with about $1000 invested in the turbo setup, $845 for engine. blew up 3 sets of cast pistons. street/dyno tuned with conservtivie timing
i ran 8.3 in the 1/8 with a 2.7 60 foot spinning 245r16s through 2nd at 8psi in my turbo mustang with about $400 invested in turbo setup, stock engine from 1988, using only FMU no tuning at all.
that speaks volumes to me.

LSx RX7; light and motor has a helluva potential
