Personally, i like muscle cars tons more than imports. I don't see the point in them. I could go on and on with things i find stupid. (like a huge rear wing on a front wheel drive car). I just want to see if i am the only person here who likes the feel of raw 8 cylinders of 600+ horsepower or if everyone else likes 4 cylinders of rice burning ugliness


Yes that is my car

Well pure engine muscle is schweet.. I love the sound and the almost instant 0-60 take offs that soon follow. But with an Import, you can make em look all sporty, make em look really cool with the neon, and all that.

Note attatched pic.. Trans Am.. has ram air, and all that. SWEET engine! Mom's S2K in the back ground, same with my dads Silverado. We also have 2 other cars..

Import over a domestic anyday, even though Id rather a muscle car on a strip. The imports are far better on the track than any muscle car. But the imports are more versitle and can compete on a strip on a track competivley.

Tru DAT.Tuning a mucle car for a track is a no go.You can takea import and dial it in to take turns at 50+MPH.

I like muscle cars. I love the sound, power and torque of V-8s. The only import I like is the RX7. I used to like a lot of imports, but not anymore (the weedwacker sound is annoying).

I have a soft spot for the drop-top porsche boxster's. Even the hard top porsches have the speed and the visual appeal.

You dont see the point in imports? that makes no sense.......Yes the riced out ones are stupid but not all imports are "rice" I could already tell your a stereotyper. Do you not realize that american cars are going down the drain these days. for example: Ford had to close down to huge plants and the top end employees had to take a 50 percent pay cut. Also they cut production on the linclon ls and ford gt. About GM: thier stock about 2 years ago was at a 100 now its down to 25 because they make crap. Hummer and Saab may be cut from GM because they dont have the money. Also what makes american cars so good? Yea the power for a few of them but other than that they are ugly inside and out..cant handle and are pretty unreliable. Have you ever been in a import that has power and awesome handling. Apparently not........since your making these vague comments

kthxbye.
