Then that is the problem of the person or persons your trying to gain respect from
if they cant tell from your car that it runs well and still trys to label you as rice its thier problem. I see alot of the Domestic guys give credit where credit is due, but then again not everyone will be happy. Some Domestic owners are to blinded by there Mustang or Camaro they see nothing else and they think that the V8 is the end all in performance. -SS- Rice Killa is a gleaming example of those kinda people
it wouldnt matter if our cars ran 9's constantly... You will never get the respect becuase they are blinded
