psifactor, 97blkz is cool. I don't understand why you are trying to come down on him so hard. You did make an ignorant statement not him. So calm down and stfu!


P.S. the times in his profile are no longer accurate

I didn't think I was coming down hard on him.
Besides my first statement was directed at camaross. he is what gives the domestic croud the bad name. But again..there are plenty of import drivers that give us the same name "ricers"

In general..I have respect for anyone with intentions of going fast in any car that has the ability to give the same respect back.

I just wanted to point out that for the money my car can all around be awesome in just about every field.
Best bang for the buck

EDIT- maybe this is why I switched to Progressive?
i didnt mean to make you delete your previous statement. but yeah, almost all imports are more to insure than domestics. this is due to the high theft rates and cost of repair. i've been doing this for three years and people are surprized just like you every day.

note: this only applies to full coverage. if you only put liability on a car, the theft and collision rating are thrown out. and liability would be more on the mustang because its heavier and would do more damage to another car.

when most people think of comparing insurance on an import to a domestic and it costing more. its because most comparing a current year domestic to an old ass import. of course the newer car will be more than an older car, either way

PSI what is you qtr time? All I am getting at here is that I think general statements are dumb! I would be on the pipe to think that I can beat all imports! and you would be if you thought you could beat all dom's. It's all a matter of $$$$$$ that determines how fast you are and that's the bottom line (and not because stoe cold says so LOL).
