That statement can really go both ways. I used to be into Camaros and that kind of muscle car stuff, but then i moved on to Hondas. I like them and i find the opposite to be true of what you said earlier. I find that a lot of domestic owners are cocky and then they tend to be pissy when they lose.
I'm not saying they always lose, but i have a friend w/ a Civic hatch with a B18C1 swap and turbo and he smoked some cocky ass in a 88 IROC camaro. That made that guy angry and he seems to be more of a prick now then ever.
