There's a Porche and a Benz out there that says you're a redneck. do you gloat to people about how your car is fast in a straight line? NOBODY ******* CARES when they are driving to work. you wanna be comfortable, you buy a nice car... you wanna be a douche bag who thinks straight line speed is the end all be all of performance, buy american.

As if that has anything to do with the converstation...
You're going to be down on his GN and Z28 because they aren't "Benzes" or "Porsches"?? Get the hell out of here, seriously. I wouldn't even consider buying one of those cars unless I had tons of money to throw away. Why?? Because they are extremely cost prohibitive to maintain, often break, and are extremely expensive to fix and buy parts for. Not to say they aren't nice cars, but they aren't worth the headaches. My Sister has an '00 VW, and that car has been nothing but problems. Cats and O2's going out at 68K??...GARBAGE, European cars are notorious for things like that.

just becuase some people can make a 4 cyl. just as fast as a v8 doesnt mean we have to hate them... unless there a complete cocky idiot.

Get your Supra if you really think they are so great, but I guarentee you will be dissappointed when it starts falling apart on you and you have to dump 3x the value of the car into it in order to keep it running

You're telling me the stock f-body was as good as it could have been? Why should I have to replace my shocks when/if i hit 100k miles, etc? fender gaps? rattles? why should I have to upgrade my suspension to MAKE IT handle? feel me?
and to TransAnimal, you have a big *** house.. so props... but the only reason I brought that up is THAT IS THE REASON why I dont blow money on my car.. and if you read the reply that led up to my comment, you'd see he was mentioning my car as a POS cause it cant beat his Z or his grand national.. I'd rather spend money on good living, than just a car.
word.

naaa I'm gonna keep with my car cause I like it and we'll see what happens 4+ years from now when i kick over 100k, wont be for awhile.
NO CHANCE of this car lasting 200k miles.. i couldn't see it. it'd be beat by 120k like most domestics. I dont generally keep cars longer than 2 years.. so we'll see.
and...........time for a blunt.

And I guess if I bought an import, I'd never have to replace my shocks and the car will never rattle! NICE!
You take care of an LS1, and it will EASILY pass 200k.

you wouldn't. not based on my first impression on basically every lexus I've been in. those cars are built to last FROM THE START.
i had a friend with a corolla that went over 300k and another with a pathfinder that went 240k. shitty, yes, but thats how the japanese do it.

Oh good! I'm glad you figured out how the shocks, and the rattles will be at 100k+, based on your first impression. Ask your corolla and pathfinder buddies what they did for maintenance.

and I'm specifically looking for the thread with the guy who was a salesman, and drove his C5 across country all the time because he hated flying. He was well over 200k and said he never had any problems at all. Not sure if I can find it though using the search.

I peronally have 94k on mine, have had it since 50k. I've done nothing but change brake pads, oil, and gear fluid. It gets a Heads/Cam kit this spring, and already has full bolt ons, and I run the car pretty hard.. a lot. It's never even flinched. In fact, I'm even on the stock clutch! Oh, I changed the sparkplugs for the first time when I went to long tubes. Forgot to add that one.
Maybe I should add "oil change mod" or "spark plug replacement" to my sig so I can be cool like you and your "fuel filter replace" mod.

I'm not having "problems"
I do all scheduled maintenance and haven't had one issue under warranty yet.
like, I said.. maybe you can prove me wrong when I drive my car that many miles.
and stop bringing up this ******* bullshit about FACTS.. everyone in this ******* thread is using facts associated with personal opinion. start jumping on everyone else for using opinions instead of jumping on me, just cause I took the side of imports.
haha.. this is too funny... you guys are so hurt... HOW COULD he own a Ls1!?!?! OMG OMG..

You are a complete ******... and honestly if you looked around the ******* site, youd see the same **** that i put in my sig.
I simply added the stuff that I did myself, just cause I dont really know much mechanically otherwise and I was able to do things myself
you're ******* pathetic... come to AZ.

No the point is that you talk so much crap about domestics, yet own one. You say so much about the US's education, business, and autos, yet you still live here? You come to a GM/Domestic site yet you take sides of Imports. You are an oxymoron to the textbook definition.

Let me add that I admit to putting my opinions into this thread as well, but the difference is I don't try to state my opinions as facts, which is what you have done throughout most of this thread.
Never once have I stated something as FACT that wasn't true, or that was just my opinion. Not once.
