Hello from the import world! Hi guys!! I'm totally new to domestics.. been an import guy all my life. Had a 98 Integra GSR, and currently I drive a 92 Nissan 240sx.
I have always been curious about Camaros and Firebirds so I'd like to stay here for a while and read up to learn more about what these cars have to offer.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi!!

I've had 3 different 280-ZX cars...my silver T-Topped one was my all time favorite vehicle until I picked up the F-Body in my signature.
Even stock, the LS1 engine is just a beast, and with my Magnaflow catback and polished billett grille on my 2002 Z-28 Vert, I rumble down the road knowing I'm B-a-a-a-a-d ---
The LS1 torque thrust launches you forward, just unbridled power, especially good with the right exhaust --- a whole different vibe than what the imports give you...

yes the cop situation with imports in the san jose area is getting pretty bad. that's why i'm getting out of the 'scene'. i think domestics are more undercover aka sleeper, also less of a target for theft (i think)
i'm in the south san jose area

a 240sx with a turbo can definatly suprise the domestic crowd as most don't know what they are capable of. find some people with these cars that are done up and you will go out and buy one. thats what happened to me, now im trying to be the fast one, but it takes money.
