Muscle or Import
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

RE: Muscle or Import
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.

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).

Your telling me youd rather drive some unreliable ugly american car as opposed to a some Ferrari or a Porsche 911.....
Let the flaming begin. Most American cars blow. Sorry but thats the truth....you get what you pay for.

If he is reffering to riced out cars with huge wings, pointless body kits and intake/exhaust expecting to run 12s in old civics or accrods then I agree also that is

RE: Muscle or Import
Well I meant in its class. The saleen S7 is not in a 350Zs class. It belongs in the exotic group which I wasnt talking about. Well that for sure and a ford gt possibly but all the rest nooo.....Im sure there arent many on this board can afford a saleen..
Where did you find thats a S7 is faster than the mclaren? Just curious...still overall of all the cars made, imports are better at handling and a better car overall than american ones.

RE: Muscle or Import
I'm more a fan of german cars. my dad has a (2003) Porsche Boxster S and oh man is that thing fun to drive(with his permission after I wash/wax it, of course ). It feels so well balanced. 50/50 weight distribution is easy with a mid engine layout. Don't get me wrong, I love the grunt of a V8. BUT the sound of that boxer engine is my new obsession! It doesn't need a radio!

@ Gunnut, nice ride, my neighbor in Missouri has a porsche 911 Carrera and it was SWEET, but when he bought it the unpredictable weather of the Midwest had snow, and it just wasnt the car for that weather. Although he went out and bought an Infiniti m45 right after it....it was pretty nice as well though.

RE: Muscle or Import
Wait a minute, I am confused. Are we talking about Japanese imports or are we talking about exotics, or both? I thought we were talking about Japanese imports like Civics and Accords.
Since you all mentioned exotics, I like the Lamborghini Gallardo and Saleen S7.
Does anybody like the older muscle cars? Chevelles, Novas, Cudas, Camaros?
