You live in Mississippi where things like snow don't come into the equation.
If I was going to have two performance cars, one would certainly be AWD, and an STi or Evo would fit the bill quite nicely.

So, I said to him why didnt u just buy a slightly used WS6 or SS for under twenty and get a faster, better, and more fun car. He looked at me like I had three heads and and said WHAT ARE THOSE!!!!!!!!! I COULDNT BELIEVE IT, he didnt even know what the LS1 was!!
It was soooo depressing and aggrivating!

im finishing out my senior year right now and ive had my ws6 since late in my junior year, and i have the only ls1 at school now, unfortunately my friend totaled his 98 z28 and about two weeks ago, another kid i know totaled his 94 lt1 vette, people make fun of me for not driving fast everywhere i go, but i like my car in one piece with cheap insurance. sorry, didnt mean to hijack, but the point is, i love my car, and i make sure anyone who is uninformed and curious about it learns to love it too, gotta spread the ls1 fever! haha

I've found that our cars get plenty of respect from real car enthusiast, whether they own an import or not. It's just the nieve little kids that cream their pants over fart cans and big wings that don't give us any credit. Think about it, would you really want those kids running around in F-bodies or hanging out with the domestic crowd.

I like the subaru's but I think they are too much money for not enough car. Maybe when they get a little older.

To my experience, subaru guys have a lot firmer grasp on reality than evo owners.

i get plenty of respect here about my car, hell they give me more credit than its worth. apparently i can run a 12 sec pass. they know a real car. subaru owners are better car guys than evos in general. evos are just so "rice" to them and therefore attract the other croud. i would love to have an STi, AWD, 4 real seats and doors. a trunk. but i would never trade my WS6 for it

I had a guy tell me that my cousins (stock) SS would beat the **** out of my modded Z28... (both LS1)... I told him that they were the same car... (I have upgraded even my hood...)
He laughed and said that I know nothing about Camaros... I was so confused and dissapointed (in my new discovery that my Z28 was slow...) that I just stared at him...

I've got a buddy with an EVO..he beats me pretty well everytime, although he has a whole lot of mods that I have helped put in. (cams..full exhaust...FMIC...full intake and clutch assembly and other things here and there). Most of them out there will get spanked by a stock LS1, and get mutilated from a roll. STi's are a little faster but pretty much the same.
I don't really care if idiot ricers think the F-body is slow as I didn't but my car for respect from people. If they think their bolt-on RSX is going to beat me, that's fine as there always will be idiots in the world. The world is not need for speed underground after all.

However that same night i was behind a race between a integra and stock prelude i shifted at 3 through 4 gears while they raced ***** to the walls. I actually need to get the vid of that.

Yeah and my TA isn't a real TA because I don't have a Ram Air hood.
People aren't really like that around hear towards my car. I always get the ******* that are like "Oh no you don't wanna race him because he has an LS1" because they like to be smartasses.
Mustangs are recognized and A LOT more popular around my area. On average I see about 5 GT's a day (easily) and maybe I'll get lucky and see a V8 F-body, but it's higly doubtful. Then somedays like the other day I saw 5 LS1 F-bodies on my 15 minute drive to work. I was excited.

Misinformation, blinded by the media, naive, stupid.
Alot of people "my age" fit the bill when it comes to cars in general
At least here in Houston, most people I know respect our "clunky" domestics.

I have seen a fair amount of Evo's and STI's at Atco and English town, and they will have an awesome 60ft time, but all the LS1/LS6's always catch them by 3rd gear, with the all wheel drive they can get a good jump, but they really run out of steam
