if you like cars, you like cars. why does it matter what car you drive? both have pros/cons. its apples and oranges. this could go on forever. for every domestic that is fast, there is a import that can match it. now i know some redneck with a mullet is going to quote that and laugh, but its the truth. i had a gp gt, and loved it. i would buy another one, and i own a nissan. and i would buy another one of those. the gp had a lot of problems. and a few gp guys can vouch for their reliability. but it was faster then my se-r stock. now my se-r is a lot faster then it was, and im sure it will pass 110,000 without a problem. and didn’t pittspeed win on pinks with a nissan? didn’t it beat a mustang? thats ok, keep bragging about how big your engines are, go ahead, it will ease the tension in your neck form the all the mullets.

close!! but not entirely. no import motor has touched 4-5 second 1/4 miles yet. 6’s seems the limit. (well maybe some supra drag car has done 5’s i dont know)
i dont know how streetable shep’s car is, but that would be the only one i can think off that can match some of the fastest domestic street/strip cars out there
maybe that AMS drag evo

I usually prefer Domestics, but European cars are sweet.
Any car that is fast can get my respect though.

the “import vs domestic” thing is tired. there is almost no such thing as import or domestic cars anymore.
My car is sold as a Chevy in Canada, a Suzuki in America, and a Daewoo in Korea. The engine and tranny are from Australia. I have GM logos on everything.
A Toyota Camry is as much of an American car as a Chevy Malibu is.

What is this? I thought the import and domestic crowd all got along here? This is a gay argument for teenagers and ricers.

no, most of the money still goes overseas
it doesn’t matter as much where it’s built, it matters where the company does it’s engineering

Camrys have been designed in California since 1994, with the American market as the primary target. They’re built in American plants by American workers. The parts are Japanese, but the car is American. People don’t buy Camrys in Japan.

i know they still make them in both places, but they’re adding another American plant (in Indiana) to (presumably) end the need for imported Camrys.
