camaro_guy How you mod a car all depends on what you're going to be using it for. Most people these days can't seem to grasp that concept. It all depends on how modded those cars are. Most people still think that American cars can't handle worth s**t but they really haven't seen what the modern cars can do. If I built a Camaro or Corvette especially for handling, it could probably keep up or pass that guy. Would I? No, I don't have a use for extreme handling like that around here. What I'm actually doing for around here is building a fast street car. I don't plan on participating in any auto-x races, mountain races or anything like that with my car. The extent of my racing is redlight take-off's, the occasional line-em up in the industrial park, and a few times at the local drag track. I'll add stability things to my car for daily driving but not for racing. Well, I'm no stranger to how well an American car can handle, granted it's placed in the right hands. I've seen the Team Orca Viper and Rhyse Millen's GTO in action. Those bad boys are sweet. I guess the point of my story is that there are places in this world where hp and bank accounts aren't everything. It just made me feel good to see a fat whale of an R32 get pounded to the ground by a little March.

so far im all american, the only import ive driven was a honda pilot, and i HATED IT!!! you cant barely hear the engine at all, and causes you to grind the starter motor if your not used to it. i also found that everything is positioned in funny places, and even the shifter is weird to put into drive. i can understand why some people like them, but for me ill stick to my home built american cars, and support them 3nodding

StreekG Was that march running a worked 351 or something? Nope. It's all in the suspension. And when you're running in a windy mountain road, 350hp doesn't mean anything if you can't put it to the ground properly. redliner so far im all american, the only import ive driven was a honda pilot, and i HATED IT!!! you cant barely hear the engine at all, and causes you to grind the starter motor if your not used to it. i also found that everything is positioned in funny places, and even the shifter is weird to put into drive. i can understand why some people like them, but for me ill stick to my home built american cars, and support them 3nodding Well, that's kinda funny that you would say that, seeing as how the Honda Pilot is completely engineered and built in the USA (just like the Toyota camry and corolla, the Mitsubishi Eclipse, and a whole bunch of other cars that people call imports).
