well being a "rice burner" i will be the first to tell you they perform way better hands down, a stock b18c1 (Integra gs-r motor) is pushing 80hp per liter, a chevy 350 on the otherhand is pushing out only 48hp per liter, honda can build it cheaper but better only because they dont pay their workers $45 an hour and have the same benefits as ceo's of billion dollar companys:taz:

Funny 2002 non tuned Chevy 5.7 350 makes 370 BHP thats 65 hp per liter.

I think both imports and domestic have their place in the car world. I don't think however its fair to compare the two. The reason I say that is the cost of tuning an import verse's a domestic V8. I have a friend that put 15K in to a EVO he put it on a dyno and was so stoke it made 450 BHP thats fantastic for a 4 banger I was impressed also. He got to talking with a fella at the tuner shop who owns a 1971 Chevelle SS 454 He paid the same for the car as my friend did for his EVO only put 8k in to the Motor just the motor, Dyno read 895 BHP (no blower, no spray, no chips just motor) the reason I say that is both imports and domestics have their niche they are designed for different types of fast, A 300 hp AWD EVO would spank that Chevelle in a road course but in a straight that Chevelle would own that EVO..

Different cars different things they are good at.

Honestly, that depends. The Chevelle could make 1200hp, but if it can't put it down properly, the EVO will walk off from it. I'm not trying to start a peeing contest or anything, but there are a lot of variables in there. Just playing devil's advocate.

Bingo :gj::gj::gj: so to say Import over domestic or visa versa doesn't make sense. I'd drive the hell out of the 2010 Nissan GT-R, or even the EVO 7 bad cars in my book..But I'd also wouldn't mind the 2009 Corvette ZR1 or the Shelby Cobra GT500 KR either.

Ha okay maybe I did jump to a biased conclusion, Its just those freaking exhausts drive me crazy. I would most certainly drive an import also so im not completely against them its just the Stupid stuff that people do to them that makes them feel "cooler" or sound "faster". That was a very nice way to put it, both of them do have there place in automobile world, imports are technical and domestics have a reputation for raw power. I myself prefer the sound of a loud deep rumble on a camaro or chevelle verses the sound of a modded honda civic or acura. Everybody has there own opinion and mine just happens to be domestic. And ill say it again I WOULD drive an import but it would not be my first choice.

My favorite car right now,..right now, is the Audi Q5. That's me all the way,..fits me perfectly not too big, not too small. For a car,...oooo so :banana: SEXY!

I think what was being complained about were the people who drive a completely STOCK civic and feel the need to put that exhaust and only that exhaust on their car. I personally prefer imports but it bothers me when people do that too.

Here she is. The new 2010 shelby cobra mustang gt500. So beautiful!!!

Nissan Frontier 2006 pickup. I love mine; it costs me a pretty penny, but I am a workaholic and I deserve a reward for that, in my book. Varoom!
