Now, a Focus/Jetta/Cavalir/etc. (which some classify as rice) aren't from Japan so I wouldn't consider them rice burners.......I'd classify them as Imports! All are equally crappy though....Unless your goal is to save money on gas. Which is the only good reason I can come up with actually driving one!.........

damn there's a lot of ignorance in here.
peak power numbers don't equate to jack ****. you'd hafta look at a dyno graph and compare averages. not to mention the fact that it's a STREET RACE. it's not like it's a couple of professional racers running each car to the limit.
centrifugal superchargers make boost in a linear fashion according to rpm. you achieve highest boost at highest rpm. roots type can achieve full boost very quickly like a turbo. turbos and can achieve max boost well before max rpm. if set up correctly you can hit max boost by the time you make it to the rpm band in which you want to run. much difference. guess which type he's got on that LS1. hint, there's no notch in the windshield. (it's not a roots )
making u lord and master of all that is forced induction??

Perhaps they did over estimate the power? And like I said, my friends Z made that power in 90 degree weather in the middle of the day.
He says thanks for the compliments.

it is pretty obvious whether a car is supercharged or not.

This is separate from a Ricer mentality of a driver.... Any driver can be a Ricer IMO.... Agree... Disagree... its just my opinion.

But there IS alot of ignorance on this thread, and I wasn't the one to start mentioning Asia's exports. Question: What Asian cars are you talking about? Japanese?
You're kidding right? The primary agriculture in MANY countries is rice. I don't even think Japan has any significant rice export presence at all. You're probably thinking of China, sorry to tell you. This is Japan's stats:
Composition by sector:
Definition Field Listing
agriculture: 1.3%
industry: 24.7%
services: 74.1% (2004 est.)
Japan makes NO money in agriulture, buddy, and what little they do make in agriculture is in sugar and beets.
China makes some money off of rice, but what Chinese cars do you know?
Here's China and their rice-burning automobile-manufacturers' Country's stats for fun:
Composition by sector:
Definition Field Listing
agriculture: 13.8%
industry and construction: 52.9%
services: 33.3% (2004 est.)

On a side not that Z has um way to much money into it why you ask, because my 1g awd dsm with all sup mods and hks 272cams on a evo3 16g made a greddy tt G35 look staught up retarded. With a good driver and a good tune on good tires from a stop and a roll 5 times, i am not impressed at all. Give me ls1 with a cam and some mods and it will walk it. That Z has a **** load of money into i would rather not spend buy a supra if you want sick power.
Ps, dont tell me im ignorant if anyone knows what chitownracing.com is you know how cars react on the street and what it takes to make a car go fast, not what a turbo company or what some mag tells you.
I typed all this fast, but nice car.
