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.
The 300zx is a good car, and I don't think it's by any means "easy" to find a nice clean one for under $8000... especially with decent mileage. They are also a not very reliable car, a couple of my close friends have had them.
The 300zx like I said is a very respectible car, but for the money you can still have a ls1 car more than 5 years newer, and with much less miles and still run better times stock for stock
And import owners have already "proved their point" that they can swap, and add forced induction to stay with a stock v8? I already posted you can still get a shitbox foxbody and beat a shitbox civic or 240 for the same price
