Aint that the truth. The only thing that has changed in the past 50 years is the battle is now Chevy vs. Ford vs. Dodge vs. Imports (also notice how 90% of the time, "imports" mean Japanese and rarely include Australian, Korean, German, British, or French cars)

I have noticed that, but it's also hardly ever stuff like the corolla's, and camry's. Always just the civic's and other "ricer/fanboy" cars.

The shit gets old, but it's always going to be that way.

Might as well learn to accept it, and just say fuck it.

Of course. When people say "imports" they usually mean "Hondas" if anything. Thats one thing I've noticed to be extremely common with local domestic guys...its HONDAS and low displacement N/A cars they dont like...but they call them all "imports"

I've already just decided "fuck it" and rarely defend my stance on imports; especially driving the hot pocket. I do not condone modding my 1.6 for "power"

5 mph in the slalom test is a LOT. Best-handling production cars on Earth run in the low-mid 7x mph range. Example above- Lotus Elise, 73 mph. 62 is down with Crown Vics and typical boring sedans.

Something is up with the McLaren numbers. I have, however, seen similar numbers for some of the other cars in other sources, so I know they're fairly accurate. The Camaro, for example, and the Elise- I've seen pretty much the same numbers in magazines.
