How would you like it if a stranger calls your ride a beaner, I'm assuming here that you are Mexican / American by lookin at your user name but hey you might be a Brotha, Asian ,hell you might be from planet Uranus pretending to be a Mexican. I digress, but I know if I was an Mexican and somebody called my pride and joy of a ride a beaner It would be an insult to me , my ride and my heritage. Am I being too culturely sensitive ? Damn I knew I shouldn't been paying too much attention in cultural sensitive training at work I wasted valuable nap time.
Anyway by your response it seems that you do not have any respect for imports regardless of their performance potential .That might be partially my fault , Evo and Sti's are still in production and they are kind of pricy compared to f body cars . How about a 240 sx with a skyline powerplant ? You could pick up a 240 for less than 1K bucks in most cases ,pick up a rb26dett engine for another 3K, buy an ebay single turbo manifold for couple hundred ,and 1K for a Turbo,1K for a fuel system and 2K for electronics and you got a recipe for 600+ rwhp arund 8k. That is if you do the the work yourself. Here's another option that combines both worlds , Datsun 240z with a Ls transplant. I would guess this might be little more spendy .How about a older Mk3 Supras , pick one up for around 1K stick a 1jz for $1500 or stick a 2jz for 3Kand supporting mods for around 5k and for less than 10k you would have an badass sleeper Supra w / 800+ rwhp potential but hey I'm wasting my breath and info because there is no way a puny 4 cylinder or anemic 6 cylinder can keep up with all mighty pushrod V8 and no way a little yellow man could build a performance car like good ol Americans and Europeans right ??
There are way too many closed minded people on both side of the fence , **** those ******** in the import scene who don't and can't respect the power and performance of pushrod's ( Have they seen what a stock z06 is capable of ???)and the dumbasses in the domestic scene thinking that their **** can't be touched . Have they seen several street Supra's pushing 1500 + rwhp and running 7's and 8's with IRS , yea they're slow outta dig .
I belong to several forums including ,viperalley ,supraforums and here. Why? I love high performance cars and I want to be well informed. My preference / requirement is that it has to be a rear wheel drive or AWD. I own a 97 Supra tt bpu+++ and a lot of supraforum members embarrass and irritate the **** outta me with their ignorance and arrogance and I'll tell you there are ignorance everywhere like a plague . If we could tear down the fence and see and apperciate what other people's POV and stop being a ******* elitist because you know what, there's always somebody faster. Don't hate ,apperciate and LEARN. But then again what the **** do I know I'm just eh stupid ricer driving turbo rice with race I mean rice fuel.
Oh by the way GMmexican I grew up in San Jose and I miss it there, except all that traffic!!

regards, Will
