after reading all of this i still dont see why imports are better, yes some are built better, i have owned several imports and domestics, domestics are cheaper, i had a 240 with a sr and upgrade turbo, fmic, inj, and a good tune an only could muster mid 12's now i have mustang with less money in it, and i'm onthe verge of breaking 11's. there is no replacement for displacement. put a turbo on a v8= more power than a turbo on a I4, end of discussion
