I’ll spot you the JGTC series as that is pretty unfair. The people who constantly shit on imports for thier whp dyno bragging are driving vehicles made for no other reason than to have some rediculously huge motor in it. They have shitty interiors, look like lunchboxes, are bought in lieu of an education…kidding, etc…They generally can’t turn for shit, and frankly weren’t made for it in the first place. I was just pointing out, albeit poorly, that there is more to “i got torque and that’s all that counts” shit. Last time I checked there are more curved roads than straight ones in this country, so why brag about how much torque your car has when it is only useable on a small fraction of the road. Every car type has it’s shortcomings.

I’m not dissing domestic muscle cars at all, they have thier place. It does highlight one simple and universal truth in cars or hobbies in general

example: If all the “stupid ricer blah blah” guys “saw the light”, as you domestic enthusiasts say…and all sold thier cars to buy domestics, you’d cry and have to find something else because it would be cool anymore. It works both ways.

Moral: Put you cock measuring tool away and go home.

torque>*
v8>4cyl
anything you can do to a small 4cyl, you can do to a big CI v8 and make a bunch more power.
the only reason “imports”(and similar domestics like the cobalt, mazda3, etc…) are even remotely fast is they are death traps that weigh 2000 lbs.

Most races (before the ricers came around) when I was growing up in the early 90’s were from a stop. The only races you see now is lame as fuck roll racing because all the 4cyl homo’s can’t hang from a stop, why, because of no torque.

what a fun discussion
