The import guys I know are ignorant about american cars. All they know and care about is imports. They tell me they can beat a mustang gt so they think they can beat me. Most see camaro and mustang as the same, both american both V8's both just as fast. What's funny is when I ask them if they can beat a vette they say (hell no, vettes are too fast)

a long long time ago. this hispanic guy in a honda crx with this slick tires on the front ect was asking me why did i buy a big heavy 2004 grand prix there slow and ugly. i said because it looks alot better than your rusted civic and even with your slicks ill beat you.
needless to say my old stock GP NA 3.8 ate his civic alive i ran like a 10.0 i think in the 1/8th and he ran like a 10.6 or 10.7 i think it was. funny thing was. he said he couldnt get grip....and yet he was beating me out of the hole. oh and mind you he didnt even have FI. so this kid with only boltons and slicks had trouble launching his civic..... anywho. im sorry but your going to see way more punk kids in civics,eclipses ect talking down domestics cars than you will see domestic guys talking down imports. and it all got so bad after the Fast and Bi curious

whats great about it is that the majority of the guys that do it arent just import dudes. everybody i know goes "WS6??? SICK dude, boost that ****"
because they know 8psi on a V8 is more than adequate

People still build cars to go fast? Holy ****.
All anyone ever cares about up here is wide wheels and who scrapes their exhaust the most. I'd take cocky imports over "low is a life style" any day of the week.

You said it...the torque steer in my GTP is ridiculous...if you're not expecting it, the steering wheel will pull right out of your hands. And that's only with ~300whp (3.4 pulley)...I wouldn't even want to drive one with a 3.0 pulley and an intercooler.
