So you will race me anytime huh. I dont think your 15.7@89mph is going to hold up to well. And american cars not being able to handle is a common misconception. I hold my own and beat many stock suspension imports at the AutoX(i have stock suspension also) Ive owned an Integra a and 2 talons. And stock for stock i can honestly say my GT handles the best. It has less role and just grips better. It even has the worst tires out of all of them. Show me any new performance domestic car that doesnt handle good. I know the new cobra handles excellent. Not to mention the Z06 is pretty much the best handling car stock. Along with the Viper. Why do you think you see the C5R winning lots of the Le Mans seriers races. Not just because of the power. A stock Z06 Handles over 1g. I dont know of any import that handles that good. And the new cobra is in the .9x range as well. At every autocross ive been to most of the top ten were domestic. More so then imports. And more imports how up to the events. I will say the Type R is a good handler though. As well as the NSX and S2000. But there are alot of Domestic cars that are better. Im not trying to flame just giving facts. And MYCARISSLOW you honestly think you can beat me. How do you think your going to pull that off without cheating somehow. I do like imports i just hate alot of the ignorant people that drive them. If they lose they say, well we have better horsepower per litre. Or, lets hit the corners. When the fact is. STock Carmaros, Corvettes, and Mustangs handle better then a majority imports coming over here. Just because a car is light doesnt mean it can handle. ITs about suspension. Vipers have insane handling, they arent all that light. Get your facts straight. Plus when your on the streets, no one races around corners anyway. TAke that to the track. And my car averages 21mpg not bad for the power its putting out.

PS, and technology has not improved that much there were 1.5litre engines in F-1 cars 20 years ago making a 1200hp at insanely high revs. And its not like domestic cars dont know how to do this,Have you ever heard of Ford/Cosworth cars. [/QUOT

there are plenty of imports that will beat you . overseas they put 4 cylinder engines in supras. why i dont know but i have seen it in a 200 mile an hour car. it was the mr2 motor. maybe weight. second mod for mod a integra will own you in auto x. so will a mazda protege mp3 miata rx7 etc. hell in road and track the mp3 pulled 1.13 g. what does your car pull stock.
