Wow, that's some tough choice to make there Windogg. ;)

My personal choice has the spinning propeller emblem too.

I even had a ricer tell me... It would be a lot easier to take a SBC (small block chevy) put $2000-3000 in mods and make it run low 10s than to get an import 4 banger spend $10000-15000 to get it to even walk with one.

I prefer my Japanese truck that

- Could not go fast in a straight line even if there was a strong wind behind it
- Will probably fall over one day when I go around a turn to sharply

:D

I like my Mitsubishi 3000 GT '92... Non stock, 2 turbo chargers, tested at 330HP at the wheels, w/ my stepdad's nitro setup hooked up 380 at the wheels for 12 seconds.

Sounds like that would be a good race Zoson. My 75 hit a peak of ~375RWHPP on the dynos. I think I am going to try and get the sheets scanned tomorrow also.

Throwing a Turbo on an Integra RS puts it down to high 12's. Let's take a CRX and put a turbo in that, 2200lbs with around 200 horses will be running low 12's. I'm not sure how much turbo kits go for, but I'm sure it's nowhere around $10000. From there, you're halfway to 10's cashwise

-SpYrL-: Stop knockin' import cars cause you look like a fool talkin crap about something you don't even know. That damn pic you posted is an &quot;Accord&quot; and not a &quot;Civic.&quot; And that sh!t has to be like a 1979 pic of car that has been so much updated now since then. Next time give more accurate information, and you'll look smarter. Right now you are just gonna get flamed for talkin crap about Imports without backing it up with facts.

Racing sounds good... I only have 4 cars on my kill list right now... 96 Vette LT1, 97 Mustang GT, 98 Talon (i think TSi), and a Subaru. My car isn't on any nitrous, superchargers, or turbochargers though.

German, German, German (picking up on a trend here?). I hate the American Highway system, too flat and straight, I much prefer the old rural roads out by where I live in Ohio. Many just follow creeks or rivers or old cart paths, much more fun to drive when you have to work at it the entire time. German cars handle great, my little sister's 18 year old BMW 320i 1.75 Litre 4 cyl (before I get flammed for being a &quot; spoiled rich kid&quot;, the car cost under $3K and has manual everything except the 3-speed autobox) handles better than my mother's 1998 Nissan Maxima SE, though the 101 HP Bimmer has a spot of bother in the straights. If I can't get an M5 when I'm older, I'll get a Honda S2000 because I love high revving engines. My 13 year old Accord still runs best between 3000 and redline. Personal preferance, but I just love that type of power curve.

Shifting is a joy, learn it, love it, live it.

Can I just ask WHY imports have almost 3 times as many votes as $300,000 cars?

:Q

Imports have more votes because people are realistic, and since they know they will never afford a $300,000 car, they rather go with something more realistic.
