Firstly- Gas mileage why get 9mpg when you can have 30??? As 2stroke said. Secondly- old cars break down too much to be used as a practical alternative to a new Japanese car, secondly Japanese cars are capable of HUGE performance- engines like the 3SGTE, 2JZGTE, 4G63, B16a, B18c, RB26DETT, 20B, SR20DET etc.... Are fast stock- but also have an endless aftermarket- it is not uncommon to see these cars in the 7's and 8's- then there is the fact that all American muscle is good for is the drag strip- these "Ricers" own muscle cars on any road course- simply because in the 60's there wasn't the type of chassis/suspension advancements we have today- hence a big block V8 is only good for oversteer in a muscle car- while newer cars generally are excellent track cars. Perhaps you should try and drive a Japanese car, cut off your mullet, move out of the trailer and get with the times.



by the way- did you know that the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Nissan Sentra and the like are domestic cars???? While the Camaro/Firebird is an Import????
