maybe you should rephrase yourself. repeat after me: 'I hate ricers, just as much as import drivers do'. besides, there's nothing in your first post but bashing all imports, i don't see anywhere in the first post ANYTHING about stickers, huge wings and body kits. all i saw was a childish comparison between your car and a civic.

Haha, I kill Supras, if there are alot of street legal Civics that are faster then a Supra I would like to see it happen without nitrous, yes nitrous. That is right.....nitrous, not NAWWSSS. NOS is a brand, not an abbreviation for nitrous, nitrous is an abbreviation for nitrousoxide. I admited that there were faster imports out there then me, but none in Tampa are NA cars. You guy are afraid to open the engine to make power, you just add nitrous and a turbo. Why is that? I can make well over 650hp on a naturaly aspirated LS1 so I would like to see that. Again, yeah I have no problem with the cars, it is the people who look at the car and say I'm going to make you into a "racecar".
there are 10 second all motor civics, YOU would need the assistance of a turbo or nitrous to beat.

and why do you keep beating this dead horse, this is a subject that we have talked about too many times. like i said, there are plenty of import drivers on this site that could teach you a thing or two about your own car.

and to each their own. some people love turbo cars, even domestic drivers such as yourself. there are a few turbo ls1's and mustangs in tampa. i love my car, because its like a high-powered go-kart. it is so fun to drive, and it would out handle your heavy ass camaro any day.

ps. you should set something up with boostin for the track day. i personally seen him pull a V8 in his "little 4 banger". then he gave him a ride in the car after. this is called sportsmanship, something you obviously know nothing about. even though boostin walked the z28, both of them were very cool about it afterward.

and last but not least. remember, this site is about bringing everyone together with a common interest in cars. if you wanna complaint about imports, find another site to bitch on.

Read your last post. You were bashing all import drivers, including the serious ones with forced induction. Anyway for the money spent on a new SS you could do a hell of a lot of modifications to an import and blow the doors off any stock SS

insurance much cheaper? no, me and 97blkz, both work for progressive insurance. my car is in the top 5 cars stolen the US. parts are more expensive to replace= insurance is usually about the same. because your car is classified as a sports car. a brand new mustang gt cost less that a brand new accord.

the four main rating on a car are:
liability: how much damage your car will do to another car.
comp: theft rating
collision: how much are parts to replace, how easily is it damaged.
injury: how safe is the vehicle.

actually, since im at work i just added a 2003 accord and a 2003 mustang GT to a random policy. the accord was a $219 increase and the mustang GT was a $202 increase.

this will give you more of an idea:
liability: GT=7, accord=9
comp: GT=9, accord=11
collision: GT=12, accord=12
injury: GT=8, accord=14

the accord is higher rated.

the reason the accord costs(from the dealer) more is because its more of a luxury vehicle than a mustang.
