LS1 Fbody - Run mid-high13's bone stock
96-98 Cobra - Run high 13's bone stock
Import
Integra GSR - Low 15's
Civic Si - Mid-High 15's
Eclipse GST/GSX - high 14's?
240sx - low 15's?
feel free to add on... its a bang for the buck kind of thing.. Vipers, and V12 cars are faster, sure, but you'll be spending ATLEAST 5x as much for one of them
You forgot a few other Imports..
Z32 TT stock high 13's easily found for 8k.
If your going to compare the crap for stock speed imports such as the Civic to a cobra mustang, its easy to see who will win.
edit: After reading through the forums, I think the imports have pretty much proven some of their points against the original poster. There are plent of imports that can MORE then hang with the Domestics.. Problem is, imports didnt seriously start getting fast until the 90's when they started to take off. So the faster imports are generally still more expensive.
