I voted for import....I drive a AE86 Corolla (first pic).....there's nothing wrong with an import.....sure muscle cars will probly have more power....but I can out-handle almost any of them. All imports aren't "rice"....my old car would be considered a ricer....but not the 86

Yea I agree with you^^. a 86 is trash to any muscle guy but to guys who know what a AE86 is, they respect and love the car. I do.

The 86 is sweet....it handles like it's on rails....I can see why it makes a good drifter (I've done it more then once....) I'm glad that I sold the PGT.....people would treat me like I was some sorta punk when I drove it and cops followed me almost every chance they could get. Nothing like that happens with the Corolla....mostly because it looks lsorta crappy (for now)

lol....it's the same thing as a Mazda MX6....only major difference; MX6 is a notchback, Probe is a hatchback

I've had 3 Ford Probes in the last year (lol) The gold one was the best...GT=V6....and it was a 5spd. It was fast!!

F1=Gokarts on steroids.

And power is more fun than what you say. Oh, by the way, do you own an Enzo lolololololololololoooser? you go find the 1/4 mile time and show me and american car that can't blow the doors off it
Go muscle!!
Do you happen to live in USA? if you do, you sure aren't a model american

also, when i said who doesnt want an exotic, i meant that it would be fun to go out on a track once in a while. A muscle car is what i would rather be seen in.
Your still a idiot for thinking an enzo does 15s....I do live in the US. Does it affect my choice....................no.......so youd rather be in a muscle car on a circuit that has horrible handling around .60 on the skidpad and race as opposed to a exotic. Apparently you never been in one. You NEED handling at a circuit which muscle cars dont have. Assuming you are talking about a track with turns. Or maybe not since your a good ole nascar fanboy. If I dont own a Enzo then you shouldnt be talking about one either right?

Trucks are fun people dis my truck all the time i get flak about driving diesel all the time, I may only have 400hp but i have 840 foot pounds of tourque and the f-250 regularly smokes imports exotics and mucle cars thats why i built a diesel racing truck the 4x4 high gearing gives you unmatched acceleration. I stick 100$ bill to my dash and if domone can reach it and pull it off the dash by the time im in fourth they get to keep it, no one has done it yet

i dont normally like fords, but in this situation, you (i hope) voted american muscle over import junk, so i say that is cool. The imports can corner all they want, but straight line is the most fun, and anyone who drives know that they have tried to drag race someone or gave the car a bit of extra throttle action.

Those wheels are nice, best set for any old skool import.

That F-250 sounds nice, REALLY nice. My dad has a F-350 now, stock, but Im trying to get him to lift it.

I don't see how dragging is more fun. Its all over in a matter of seconds.

Today I was toying around with my dads truck he rented after he got in a wreck, and I moved it to play B-Ball. Later that day I moved it back but I got a little throttle happy and decided to accelerate through a empty lot on the side of my house and when I got on the driveway again I gave it a good sip of gas a I left two skid marks on the driveway, I drifted a little when I can onthe driveway. Man that was fun, it might not seem like much to 1:1er's, but Im 14. Can't wait to do it again someday.

Drag is more fun? Since when? All my posts got deleted since I "bashed" you. Going around a circuit takes more skill than going to a straight line but so some I guess they cant take turns since its too complicated.
