Well I'm not an import hater or anything, I mean I own one on top of the camaro. But my theory is this. Say you buy a 3rd gen fbody camaro, and drop a 383 Stroker or 406 sbc, and supercharge it. You've put maybe lets say 5-6000 bucks. And u payed maybe what between 4500-8000 on the car, and now altogether you've payed tops 14000 and your running a mean car. So now lets say you buy a 95 Honda civic si or something like that, lets say you get it for between 5000-8000. Now you mod out to run as fast as the camaro, your looking at putting like 35000-50000!!!! bucks for it to run this fast. People get sick of "ricers" because muscle is cheaper and generally faster. U buy a stock camaro IROC with the 350 TPI. Your running minimum 240 HP, the civic, your running like maybe 100 HP??! It's personal choice though. Whichever you like better, go for it.
