I hate to say it BUT
bang for the buck the LS F bodies are tough to beat wkith current pricing.....
but the build quality sucks like most other GMs. Hell my DD is a Camry which has almost 400K on it doesn't rattle,has original trans,water pump,motor blah blah. I don't think my Camaro is a good looking car at all even with an SS hood on it. I own two imports that blow the crap out of my LS from a dig and they are better built car as well.
Saying a guy who owns an import is stupid or doesn't know what he is talking about in term of speed etc is incredibly childish.
My ex GF had a 94 GSR-put 200K on that car and beat the hell out of it. Fun car and no complaints. I didn't think it was ugly at all.
If you are into drag racing most imports including the Supra are at a severe disadvantage. My Supra struggles to hit low 1.7 sixty foots on MTs despite running low 11s and trapping almost 130MPH on pump gas. Tall first gear,no low end power and weighing as much as a battleship make racing from a dig a challenge. Tough luck on me-either ditch the car-or do as much as you can to over come it.

Lol. ^ Yeah, pretty much irunelevens has to be a devils advocate for everything, and he likes to keep the momentum going on this thread.
Btw, Lightningteg, I'm glad you know where I'm coming from. I've owned an Mr2 and a prelude si and a sentra se-r. I know what a lot of the import crowd is like, they always have a chip on their shoulder. They all have to stick " I 'heart' honda" stickers on their cars. I like seeing a fast honda. I think it's cool. But I just don't like all the guys who run high 15 second b18's all day and think they are hot ****. If I had a close friend who I knew built the car and was selling it for way cheaper than it cost to build, I'd probably jump on it too.
Turbo Saturn FTW!!!!!

You don't need to defend yourself. His car made 341whp and according to his profile went 13.3@108. If you put some rubber on that ricer you'd destroy him from a dig or roll. Hell you trapped 7mph more than he did on only 15psi, never mind what the difference would be on your real tune.
Funny how Hondas need thousands and thousands of dollars in mods to still run slower than a stock F-body. Not to mention modded Hondas are reliability nightmares, econo cars aren't meant to be made into drag cars. They fall apart.
Everyone acts like they have a donkey dick on the web, he's just another bolt-on LS1 owner who is quick to talk **** about a "ricer" that would pull a train-length on him. Killemall's responses to your viper kill were priceless. It HAD to be poorly driven, eben the clean runs, SOMETHING had to be wrong, a civic can't be faster than a "real car" with torque!
Wait, you don't do 40mph rolls in 5th gear?

His Talon was designed in the US and built in Normal, Illinois... how is that a "ricer?" And put slicks on a cammed 6spd F-body and see how long the rearend lasts

Plenty of guys have run 11's with the stock rear time and time again, its all about proper setup and knowing how to preload the gears to avoid shocking them. You don't even know where the gears go in the rear, so its not even worth trying to explain it to you.

Hey Wes I hate imports as well..POS IMHO for the most part. Even the supra is nothing more than a 35K POS to me...I realize Im in the minority but it's just the way I feel...
Why did I have a nsx????Cause to me it was a 90K exotic..Not an import...Despite the modern day price of 25K for a 91 nsx back in 1991-1993 they were 55-65K...being equivalent to 100K by todays $$$$$...So the nsx was special to me in that exotic way..
I hate them for my own personal reasons..mainly haveing to spend X amount of dollars just to have 400-500 rwhp and at that point your running on borrowed time..Well thats BS when you can buy a LS1 and do a head and cam package and hit 450 rwhp and have a completely reliable car...

The Price of a new Supra in 1998 was $41,000. MSRP.
The price of a new Corvette coup in 98 was $39,000 MSRP.
The price of a new Viper in 98 was $63,000 MSRP (I think)
And the price of a new NSX in 98 was $83,000 MSRP.
Now the price to spend on a Supra to make it a 400hp car is similar to spending that amount on a LS1. seeing as how they are close stock to stock in power.. in a Camaro.
As for borrowed time.. everyone that plays the mod game knows that **** happens. Modded vettes go from time to time and so do Vipers. Can you honestly say that your Viper has never failed you? either of them? What about the C5? and then your 1998 Camaro V6 with supercharger...
I'm not making the supra to be more than what it really is. Which would be a Japanese sports car. Just because it's not American made doesn't make it a shitty car.

I helped my friend build a turbo B18/VTEC bubble. Nothing but problems. Oil leaks, cracked a ringland, blew a piston, spun a rod bearing, all on separate occassions. Transmission blew up, and its final time at the track it snapped an axle. They are cheaply built cars that are not designed to go fast or make power.
There are tons of hondas running 10s on stock trannys, axles and open diffs. Preloading the drivetrain is similar.
