Why is it, that every single Pinks all out show I have seen…its all Domestic’s cleaning house? new ones and old ones… I saw a episode where their was a high 10 second turbo CRX…they made the biggest deal out of it because he was the first import ever on the show to get as far as he possibly did…Torque wins races To talk about the leaf springs in a Z06 and have it not handle as well as it possible could have…its kinda rediculous to say untill you have planted your ass in one of them…Im sorry, but I do not know any import that has ran a mid 11 second quarter Bone stock…to say that leaf springs dont work for the Z06 is absurd. The handling on the Z06, is like nothing I have ever experienced before…its different to say things and put a car down that you have never ridden in, then to actually feel what its like…not to mention, making 500rwhp at 4500K and over 500rwtq by 2000k is nothing to joke about. ---

If read carefully one would see my posts says the numbers are not impressive but just facts… someone please prove me wrong when i say that my winter beater 95 Honda accord ex makes more tq than hp, also my 04 accord ex made more tq than hp… As a personal thought the zo6 corvette is an amazing car which uses amazingly old technology. My only quesion is how great could this car be if it were to incorporate modern technology. Those leaf springs are tuned in perfectly you could argue but there still the technology of a long long time ago. Instead of having fuel saving technology Chevy decides to make u skip second gear under light technology and make a ridiculous 6th gear. I do not know how they will be able to improve on the corvette for the c7 without making some very serious changes. ---

I hate to be labeled a redneck because I like american muscle cars. If only there was a RX7 in “Smokey and the Bandit”, a 300ZX in “Dukes of Hazzard” or Toyotas in NASCAR… Then who would be the redneck? Yeehaww Shes got a V-TEC!! lol. :ponderThere are Toyotas in NASCAR On the otherhand, what Fast and the Furious did to the import scene was terrible. If I hear one more 17 year old say NOZ Im gonna blow my brains out :angry2 Pinks is one of the worst shows I watched. The racing is never actually run on a tree and the cars are usually terribly missmatched. There is so much room for them to cheat its a discrace to all automotive competition. One guy is always faster and the other is always crying “I need 4 more car lengths!” :stfu ---

there are Toyotas in Nascar and as well as old muscle cars in fast and the furious and i hate how fast and the furious made it sound like the name for nitrous is NOS, NOS is a fucking brand of nitrous. it’s one of those little things that bugs me when people say “oh he has nos, you gonna use nos?” :angry2 :runaway ;D ---

the fast and the furious is a fucking joke dude… i remember seeing it for the first time when that retard in the green eclipse was like “I NEED NOSSSSS!!!” almost fell out of my chair i was laughing so hard. or the guy that said he “had $100,000 worth of work” under a civic’s hood. those movies are so fake and gay they are entertaining. :crackup ---

I do not know how they will be able to improve on the corvette for the c7 without making some very serious changes. You say old technology for one reason and only one reason… Pushrods. Other than that the ZO6 Corvette has the technology of a Formula 1 race car. Yes OHV engines have there downfall with heavy valvetrain but over the years there has been alot of development done to these engines to the point that the ONLY thing low tech about them is the fact that they are pushrod/OHV geometry. Not to say OHC/DOHC isnt better. Because we all know that it is superior and GM knew this in the early 60s when experimenting with OHC engines for racing. Still I too wonder why GM didnt stick with the N\* or LT5 engine lines for performance vehicles At least we agree that Fast and the Furious stinks although mildly entertaining :banana [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/domestic-vs-import/235518.md?page=3) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/domestic-vs-import/235518.md?page=5)
