Default Very fast Import... Crazy ride!

Yeah, so this guy must have some huge ***** to move 10 feet in the lane and not let out. Imports are getting quicker every day, and this one moves TFO!

Yeah...that's moving. No question about it.

Do you really consider that an import? That's pure racecar...not much import
left IMO. What tranny is he running...liberty 5 speed? It's definitely a stick shift.
You can hear it popping from all the fuel being dumped to spool the turbo.

I'm guessing that the raceweight is extremely light as well.

Well, actually, I don't even know why the title says fast import... Because that is actually a domestic (New Zealand). But yes, it still has all of its own countries parts. Its a racecar, but so is any 7 second car. Are you saying if a Camaro or Cobra was running those times that there isn't much domestic left?

I mean I'm giving it credit for using all its own parts. There is no Ford 9" under that rear. I consider any car in the 8's and below pure race car. Most in the 9's are, but there are some out there. They say Boost Logics and the WOTM cars drive around on the streets (Supras) and run 7/8's. But I still doubt their streetability. Even big cube cars in the 8's aren't very streetable.

I didn't mean to say it was a full-bodied import with full interior or anything! Just fast. If I was looking for the fastest import, full bodied, full weight, streetable car, with the stock IRS, I would have shown you Ken ****'s 7.8 sec Supra.

Not saying that at all. They too would be pure racecar.

in the front bumper or something.

Yes, that IS impressive and all, but I think you would agree that I doubt he drives it (or is even capable of driving it) around in the street in anywhere near 7 second trim. Right?? Just as the big cube, and/or big boost domestics running similar #s would not have that capability either.

Except when they are rolling through the Burger King drive thru.

I guess you could put it that way. It's how turbo cars with manual transmissions
are able to leave the line at full boost.
