Theres a reason no street legal import will do an under 10 quarter, it's because they're efficent. Hell, a Skyline GT-R will blow the doors off any, and i mean any american made car ever, in a 1/4 mile, on teh track or the street, doesn't matter. But you see, they aren't legal in teh states for the same reason a Evolution isn't, the states has this weird law where a car's engine cannot produce more then something like 100 HP per litre of the engine. American engines are the worst in the world. The japanese are incrediably skilled at pulling a very large ammount of horsepower out of a very small engine. Look at a Lancer, it uses a 2.0 Litres in-line 4 and it has 270 BHP. Costs $25,000 and weighs about 3000lbs.

A ford mustang GT costs the same, uses a MUCH bigger V8, weighs 300lbs more, and produces 10 BHP less then the lancer.

The reason imports need that little bit of extra money is because it's required to return them to the power they are in Japan. When japanese cars are brought stateside they are severly neuterd. Most japanese cars, and i mean the actual versions sold in japan have about 20-30%more HP then the exact same models sold in the states. Thats why the Lancer and the Skyline aren't brought over here, it's because the companies won't make them ball-less so that american cars won't look bad.

Also, how much is it to buy that camaro? because i garuntee that i can come up with something for the same price or less that would blow that thing away in every category.
