I’m not biased, I’m just calling it as I see it. European and Japanese CARS are way above American cars when it comes to comfort and quality. Would you rather have 360hp and a plastic POS or a 340hp and a car as luxurious as they get at the same time? I’d pick the latter.

you realize that 90% of the people that buy and own American made sports cars dont give two shits about ride quality and interiors? American sports cars are seen as cars with big motors that are fast with crappy interiors…we all know that and personally everyone that I know that owns a mustang, vette, camaro, trans am, GTO, viper etc etc dont give 2 shits about interior.

FYI, my car was rated at 335hp from the factory (because its a full SLP option SS)…and it put down 351 at the wheels with Long tube headers and a catless Y pipe…I would say thats a HUGE under rating from the factory.
