U guys had to bring this topic up. So here's where i stand.
Im a import guy. I love imports. I dont really like domestic's that much but i admit when a domestic is the shit. Like the new svt cobra. I would give up my import anyday to pimp one of those.
Ok back to the topic. The reason why i like imports and making them go faster is like the same reason as everyone else. I want to be differnt. WHY u might ask. Every one has a honda, toyota, etc. But u can add little money and hook ur car up to stand out from the crowd. With domestics its the same way just that i cant afford a 18miles per gallon. Or even less. A import saves money plus u can still experience the thrill of going fast. Yet they might not have a might roar. U can spend hrs listen to a 4 cyclinder exhaust. with a v8 u can its lovely.
I consider dropping a turbo and rebuild a HONDA motor cheaper than buying a new svt cobra in the short and long wrong. People buy what they can afford, that it.
the reason why you like imports and making them go faster is the same as everyone else. i want to be differant?... that makes sence
you cant afford 18 miles per gallon but you can afford more expencive insurance driving your integra
an import saves you money, but u have to drop down <2 g's to be equal with your slower v8's, and when you add that turbo you lose that good gas milage you were talking about :bbb: :bbb:
