Not unless the imports have a large displacement engine with more than 4 cylinders...

All that ---- is just beating a dead horse. Every car ive owned, Ive bought because I liked them. Not because they were the fastest or the coolest or whatever.

I know what I like, ---- everybody else.

I like getting 25mpg on the way to the track, running 13s on street tires, and driving home, while everyone else loads up on the trailer. Then cruising the weekends, and on highways embarassing mustangs and camaros, while thinking about how Ive spend less than 4k on my car, including purchasing the car. I got a low 13 second Mali-boohoo, but it gets 8mpg at best, and only has 5500 rpm and 3 gears...

---- what most of those guys say. But at the same time, I go to the strip (not stripe), and see the same ---- they see, and think the same ---- they think. There are a lot of mexicans and ---- with their stickers, spoilers, and straight pipes that dont have track etiquette, and dont know how to drive, while thinking theyre 17 second accord is fast as FAWK!

Personally I love old Detroit musle. Its just hard to find an old school muscle car that isn't ate up with cancer or doesn't cost a fortune to purchase. Plus if you build a 500 horse turbo honda and a 500 horse sbc and drive them everyday you'll spend 3-4 times the amount of gas in the sbc. So they're all around just not friendly on you wallet anymore.
