If you give two people $10,000 and one has to do domestic and one import, the domestic will ALWAYS be faster. Plain and simple.
Not true, You could start with a VR-4 and I could start with a cavalier

Then why are there more fast full weight old heavy domestics then there are light slow imports rolling around?

Go try to get that jive past BBB and tell me what he says when you come back. Heavy domestic with big motor > light import small motor.
