why imports are better than muscle cars

[LjasonL]

i like imports as much as anyone, but im voting z06 in a handling contest. with the civic, can u say terminal understeer?

[NismoDrifts]

these flame wars are homo, they really are

people, a car is fast, whether its import or domestic.....as for octane and gas and blah......CARS ALL PLAY BY THE SAME FRIKKIN RULES! This is because theres a little something that affects every aspect of our lives, including cars.......its called "physics", learn it

imports are NOT better than domestics, domestics are NOT better than imports, youre speaking WAAAAAAAAAY TOO GENERAL. Mazda vs. Chevy would make sense, Toyota vs. Ford........all of that stuff you can back up. This flame however, is so broad that there will always be an exception to sway your argument no matter what youre supporting.....

if youre gonna fight over this over and over, youre wasting everyones time, and that goes out to everyone, not just one or two people on this particular thread........come ON people!!! When i first came to this board, it wasnt all Imp vs. Dom and TFATF like all the others......and now im comfy and settled in its turning into just that

I was just saying that any suped up car has to run on higher octane! And you didnt say shit about a suped up suspension system, but im still sceptical about its handling ability vs. the z06, and i know damn well that no matter what that civic cant hang in top end torque with the z06! ha so uh, lick my weiner!

[bluevette74]

oh and no matter what, their will always be debating going on, if you dont like it dont read it. I think its kinda fun. As long as someone cant beat someone elses ass their will always be shit talking. but if we were all in a room face to face it would be a different story! not for me though because i always talk shit, and yes if gotten my ass whooped a couple of times for it too. lol!

because you cant pick up chicks in muscle cars anymore, we want the import boys not the muscle men.

"because you cant pick up chicks in muscle cars anymore, we want the import boys not the muscle men."

hmmmm i guess ya have a point there.......

and bluevette, sorry if im comin off like an ass.......it is fun to read sometimes, but damn thats all ive seen in the past few days...its kinda gay now. and nobodys ever gonna win, its just some people get reaaaaaaaaally way too serious about it and start cursing other people out when theyre point isnt any better than the other persons........

so, yeah, i think we all get a good laugh out of this crap

See, now I tend to disagree with the "chicks are after import boys"...
Near me, theres a LOT of FAST cars. The majority of them are newer F-Bodies, Cobras and a handfull of SERIOUSLY fast Supras (we're talking 9-11 sec. cars)

Then, there's the rest of the imports. Not the ones that are so into racing, but more the group that likes to throw body kits, huge wings on the car and then top it off with a CAI. Then they get some funky paint and stickers and call themselves FAST.

Girls tend to stay away from them.
Well, the hot ones do at least.
The majority of attention is given to the BIG TIME racers with FAST cars that make LOTS of $ street racing...

A civic out handle a Z06? ok, i must admit that i like imports more then domestics(even if the vette is still my overall favourite car of all time) but give crdit where credit is due!

There is no way possible for a FRONT wheel drive civic to out handle a rear wheel drive Z06 with TCS. I mean the second you tryed to match a Z06's speed into the corner you would encounter so much understeer it wouldn't be funny. You'd just end up in the wall or off the road.

No matter what anyone thinks of domestics they have to admit that the Z06 is a marvel of engineering. I mean it is by far one of the greatest handling cars being produced at the moment, bar nothing.

I've seen a lot of Autocross where a little POS Civic/CRX outhandle and even beat a lot of BMW's, Camaros, Corvettes on time slips.... they're tiny, they handle like go carts and they are very well known for handling... even though the power isn't there, but when it comes to a lot of turning (where power isnt a big factor), they are great. When it comes to straight lines then that's different.
