Oh ya, i forgot this was in comparisons hehe. But my anger is more toward those arguements that spur up everyother topic in normal car discussions, about DOMESTIC VS. IMPORT....But anyways, i guess that is my $.02 on which is better. Argue on my good fellows, hehe.

Debate is fine but unknowledgeable points brought up by people is not fine.

i think you can give credit to both domestic and import. it doesnt matter, as long as you have a car thats fast as shit and pleases you.

I think the whole problem comes from not realizing what your cars really are. No matter what import you buy short of a VR-4, NSX, RX7, Supra etc.., you have bought an economical, sensible car, granted some have sportier intentions like Type R Integra. But don't think just cuz your econo car has got a lil extra zip your gonna be running with Camaro SS's and Mustang GT's cause it's not gonna happen. These cars are created and marketed for something totally different than you Civic or Integra. This doesn't mean that there is something wrong with your car there just different cars.
I never would claim my slightly modified stang would beat a Z06, that's just ignorant and disrespectful to Corvette owners and i would look like a liar. Next time you go spouting off about how your car would waste a Stang, Camaro stop yourself and think this... "Right now i sound like an annoying liar... Oh wait that's cuz I'am" Then when you begin to speak agian tell the truth and be respectful. If you have heavily modified your import that's cool too and talk shit if you think you can really back it up. But also remember you had to mod your car to beat that V-8. What if he modded his car? |

GTSTANG, i agree with that whole-heartedly..very well said. oh yea. JBL 85, Max's are awesome..0-60 in 6.8-.9 is not bad at all. with mods there even better, i was VERY close to getting a 97 max.

GTSTANG see thats not always the case. cuase the newer nissan cars are designed to be performance comes first kinda cars. cuse the new 02 maxima's and altima's are about the same speed as a mustang gt. then then again, those are either nissan's flag ship cars, or near flag ship cars.

mastachi, its the auto, its 7.7, but its decent.
And to gtstang.....uhh riight thats why civics can smoke an 87 GT stang with a built motor and a turbo kit.....duh comparing non stock vs a stock car....your right look at the car its a civic. and TatII is very right, the new nissan is japanese and its 1/4 is 14.2, and what is the american pos GT stang do it in, 14.0 with 1.1 more displacement. There is replacment for displacement, its called engineering =) |

Look at that the one with the most Displacement has the most torque hmmmm "THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT!!!!!" But hey cheer up.... You got engineering!!!!!!! |

Let me start off by saying Civics do kick ass, just not as much as the Honda owners out thier claim.
I'm sorry for the rude comment but i've just met too many ignorant Honda owners to believe otherwise. Honda just needs to build an enigine that isn't prone to detonation in stock form under extreme conditions(Boost/Nitrous/Supercharging). Quote:
Your right domestic V8's kick ass, but not in every category they should. All those sensible cars like (900WHP Supra's) kick ass in many different categories. Another economical car of its time was the 91 Nissan Sentra SE-R, a car that you can purchace right now for less than 3 grand. In stock trim this car will run low 15's all day long. Why talk about this car? Compared to the base model V8 Stang of the early 90's, it's stats look very good. Nissan will be releasing the Skyline lineup in America very soon. The R34 will either have one of the following powerplants: Twin Turbo 6 cylinder Or some form of Nissans V8 powerplant Either way the car will be felt from East to West. But for the sake of Imoprts vs. Domestics lets just hope it comes with the V8. Sorry for the long post, to make up for it here you go: CIVICS ROCK:toothless |

PRIMERA, let me rub it in this RUSTANG boys face with engineering TIPS.....look at a BMW m3 and look at its DISPLACEMENT, its all of about what, 3.2 Liters, and the Honduh 2k (which I dont like, but to prove my point its still an import) the BMW can do a 1/4 in 13 seconds.....i think that is smoking a Camari Shit Shit by about .7 seconds.............DUHHHHHH think twice, there is to many arguments to make when comparing American Muscle and the Intelligence of Foreign people and their cars......and then the s2k on top of it EATS MUSTANGS and runs with camaro's with a 2 LITER engine 2 LITER engine 2 LITER engine 2 LITER engine 2 LITER engine 2 LITER engine, YEAH ONLY 2 LITER engine............So imagine if those smart lil asian guys tried, they would tear up an american car.

Oh yeah I like American cars, but not their engineering, wait I mean what engineering.
The funny thing is, Imports dont need v8's to race with American cars, they use 4 cylinders and 6 cylinders and they TEAR up American cars.....especially when we dont go NA....Skyline.....that just eats american cars up for fun |

You see all the benefits of Turbo on small displacement cars. However do you have any slight idea what Turbo does on LS1 and all those pushrod american displacement? Turbo an small displacement can produce a lot of power but only in a very small powerband which makes it very undriveable. Which is very different from say TT Z06. Nissan is releasing Skyline but it hasn't said a word about GT-R. Also it is going to be known as Infiniti G35 not Skyline. Nissan is leaning towards using the R39 le man street version engine. They want to keep Fairlady Z and Skyline on different class level. Especially with TT Fairlady Z coming out. |

sorry to say jbl85, but modern engineering can't compare to the torque that those hugh engines put out. turbo can add horsepower but no matter what, it wno't kick in until around 3000 rpm, where as in the american big blocks, the power comes instantly.
