Muscle car personally. i prefer the sound of a worked V8 with no emissions equipment requirements, and i prefer straight line acceleration to curves. if someone offered me the choice between a totally worked Supra or RX-7, and a worked LS-6 454 Chevelle or an "A-Bomb" Dodge Dart, it would be a hard desicion, but i'd choose the chevelle or dart. don't get me wrong, i love imports a lot, but 60's and 70's muscle cars just see to suit me better. coming from a family of racers and tuners, it only makes sense

I have to go with import on this one. I think that they are just more stylish. And the domestics are too easy to work on, tuning an import is a fine art, not just some dude in his garage drinkin beer can work on his import and get major power out of it.

Muscle. You can have the handling in an American made V-8 also.

Time to settle this once and for all.

any stock import ( civics, etc. ) has NOTHING in it that would compare
to a stock muscle car, like a '70 GTO, a Hemi Cuda, the '68 Charger R/T
i could go on and on.

You sink the same kind of mods you do on an import into a muscle car
and you've still got more power and overall performance. Muscle cars
all the way.

Don't get me wrong, i do agree that imports look better, but there's
nothing like the throaty snarl of a 429 big block tearin the road apart.

hmmmm......ok guys, im sick of this crap.......heres the deal

you wanna compare civics to hemi cudas......what the hell?!

economy car comparisons:

Imports: Civic, Camry, Corolla
Domestic: Neon, Cavalier, Sunfire

modern sports car comparisons:

Imports: 300zxtt, Rx7, SupraTT
Domestic: Camaro, Firebird, Stang

60s and 70s imports cant compare to 60s 70s muscle, that was americas time to shine

when you say imports........does that include German and Italian models? because technically they ARE imports......Lamborghini, Ferrarri, Benz, Audi, etc. etc. etc. theyre all imports.

Sorry guys, the Civic isnt the pinnacle of japanese performance....so quit comparing your best with their economy car!!!!!! damn its annoying!!!! AT LEAST make an effort if youre gonna bash Honda and compare their S2000 and Acura's NSX.....make it at least LOOK like youre trying to be fair......

........ok, im done here, continue posting
