      man...you guys....lol......I got beat by an all motor Geo Metro the other day.....OK...i had to get that out of the way.....wheew......OK

      Lets argue your first point. Mustang GT.....im not sure of the price and ive never seen 1 go 13.XX...Most mags say 14.2 Ive seen 14.0. I think a WRX, Lancer Evo, Honda S2000, and they are all doing it with smaller displacement motors. Ill leave the wing argument alone as i seem to be the only one that enjoys carving corners at the limit in an M3 or Supra. What the HP/per ltr is, that American Muscle is Looooow tech and the only reason they make that power is because of the size. An integra GSR motor will sit next to a 95 GT and beat a 96 GT. Why? Technology, Weight of car, Transmission soak and ratio. My Supra @ 670 is just as reliable as it was at stock. You know why...Because the heads never been off the car. All the internals, are stock. A turbo car is more reliable then an all motor car. As far as using the supra as an example, i will. Pick on some other cars......Civic Type R, S2000, Integra R, because you all are using, GT's and the like as an example. If you are just labeling ricers as ones who drive, Camrys, DX Civics with no mods, Base Jettas then fine....ill agree. Id rather see someone buy an older corrado with a VR6 motor then take a new base Jetta and try with it. As far as warranties....lets use the big boys......94 Supra....50 Year 60K in 94 man...thats beast.....Viper 3 years today. S2000, a car that redlines @ 9K and has 120 HP per liter, 240HP out of 2 ltrs......6 year 72K. NSX, Same,

      Again....import cars I consider race cars and depends what u mean by race....Road Coarse, Drag, Auto X...

      Toyota Supra TT Drag, Road
      Acura NSX Road
      Acura RSX-R Road
      Honda Civic-R Road
      Nissan Skyline Drag and road
      Nissan 350Z Both
      Nissan 300ZX TT Both
      Mazda RX-7 (Shitty Reliability) Both
      Toyota MR-2 Turbo Both

      We can agree to disagree.....I will prolly always think that Turbo cars are better than big blocks......Too many varibles to argue such as looks, gas mileage, AC or no AC...all in what you want to build and can handle financially. I can build cars at will...I have that luxury....I bust my balls to get it. Someone who is not as fortunate as me may be only able to spend enough on a 94 Z28 and thats OK by me to. But if some kid went out with the same budget as the kid with the camaro and bought a 91 CRX for 1500 and the kid in the Z spent 10K and the CRX kid swapped an 2.2 VTEC boosted with rebuilt internals.....but hes all stickered up.....its over for the Z....My point is i agree with you to an extent....you cant look at every import with stickers as slow...I personally hate when they do that....But i also hated the Metro with Jegs stickers that beat me to a bloddy pulp the other day (For the Record...had we been on it for another 5 secs id ripped his windshield out on the way by him.

      hey bro we are hackin on the kids who put all these extra things on their car to make it look cool. how many honda civics need a dual wing spoiler when the top end is 110 or a giant tach. i love import cars they are reliable and have good resale value. my wife drives a nissan. but my mustang has left every import i have ever raced in the dust never raced a supra or a sprung rx7. i ran straight motor against a turbo juiced civic with slicks while i was on dot tires and i whipped him by well over a second in the 1/8 mile. i live real close to a 1/8 track. some of the import cars get down in the 8s which is damn respectable for a daily driver 4 cylinder. but there are some turbo or blown mustangs that are running well under 6 seconds. i know there are imports that can but few and far between. the thing is their is no replacement for displacement. i am not against modifying your car i just dont understand the logic of picking a family economy car to do it.

      And I both agree and respect your opinion. I agree that camrys, Base Jettas, etc etc shouldnt be hooked up with huge wing and exhaust.....however....im not against motorswaps. They are very sleeper. I pulled up next to what looked to be a 94-95 GT with an H pipe and exhaust.....come to find out it was a 351W. He gave me props as after he proceeded to hand me my arse of the line, we then hit it from a 2nd gear roll.....Outcome was same but he didnt pass me until 5th when my motor tops out @ 143 and not sure about the 351 but he kept pullin....2nd gear we were headlight to headlight, 3rd he pulled his rear bumper about 10 ft in front of my headlights and as we were hitting 4rth he shifted I stayed on it and caught that 10 ft back and then he did the same when i was in 4th and 5th. I ended up about 1 -1/2 cars in between us. Not bad for a 5.7 vs a 1.8

      i just think it's funny ... my old jeep had a chevy 388 stroker with 430 hp, and every single import that i came across tried to race, because they had a badass car with a huge muffler ... i did 0-60 in 5.XX seconds, they did not ...

      sure, i could take my accord and put a turbo on it and make it all fast ... but why? why wouldn't i start with a car that was fast to start with .. ie the supra ... people who soup up maximas and civics are the people i laugh at ... if you've got a nice car that you've actually put a lot of money into and is fast, then major props to you ...

      if you have a POS car with a huge fin, huge muffler, and stock engine ... you still have a POS ... that's all my point was ...
