Here, let's give credit to a BADASS record.

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/4...63B0A3F1E1.htm

8.5 on a six-speed car... So far, no domestic has gotten this record back.

Of course, there are auto Supra running sevens but this particular record speaks volumes about the highly efficient tuner aftermarket for the beastly Toyota 2JZ.

It sounds ok.
I like the sound of a V-8 echo'ing through the stands, that Supra still has the rasp and lighter sound of a Lighter motor, but its all personal opinion.

Exactly!! I hate it when people say that a car sounds like **** when it just clicked off a 9 or 10 second pass. As far as Im concerned if it can run a 9 its damn impressive no matter what it sounds like.

Yeah! I knew that was gonna happen though... Pesronally, though, I thought the first mullethead attacks would be both about the sound and the car's looks.

I'm sure the owner of that Supra is happy with how it sounds and thinks that LS1's sound like ***... <insert LS1 fundamentalist retort>

How stupid this back and forth bullshit... What will somebody say next, "Yeah, but LS1's sound good!" Yeah, because you like the sound of V8's moron. Most people can't comprehend sentient experience beyond their own two feet.

And, honestly, how THE **** is a 3.4 liter I6 SUPPOSED to sound... Like a Viper V10?

This just in: Our LS1's sound like mosquitos next to Compound turbo tractor pull diesels... OMG, I gotta trade my car in.

Lol....Lets get a couple of Bulldozers and race them. They sounds pretty mean wound up!!

Honestly though, I dont think that there are too many 9sec and faster cars that sound "good". Whether they are imports or not. When your that fast though people can bitch all they want and you dont care

@ Bulldozer race!

Unlike ET's, sound is personal preference:

Personally, I think only turbo'd LS1's sound good.

I'd rather listen to that car take off down the quarter time after time over half the cars in this thread.

Shoot, give me a import and all the funds I need and I could make it go the quarter in 6secs and keep it street legal.

Credit should be given to those street cars that can go those times with little displacment.

Sound? You don't need an exhaust system to make sound, you just need it to funnel exhaust gases.

Judging by his mods, I would say more like mid 11s (considering they are offly similiar to mine and thats what I run with less gear).

Remember what site your posting on. If you want "no questions asked" respect for your import, go to import board.

No, it's better here... Unmasking ignorance is much more fun.
