Well first of all, "LMAO" my car isn't considered japanese... so you're hallucinating again. If you're talking about the car my engine came from, a 323 GT, then you'd be wrong again. I'd like to see ANY domestic sedan from the same class even come close to its performance. It was out running 5.0 Mustangs back in the day, and thats in a straight line! And first of all, this isn't about my car being fast, it's about you being an idiot. And if you're talking about my RX7, it ran high 15's in 1983 when it came out. What was a V8 Camaro running back then? 15's I bet.

Yeah, I bet Car and Driver are biased. Why would they, an American company, want to support a Japanese brand and not a brand from their own country? I guess blaming a magazine for being biased is just the domestic enthusiat's way of making themselves feel better when they realize how inferior their favorite American can brand really is.

Well said.. Yeah a 1983 camaro does run 15s but who cares. It's still a more relaible long lasting car then the RX7. There are still tons of 80s camaros on the road..80s rx7 yeah soo great gotta love whats under the hood Funny how when most RWD import lovers have a datsun and such they pull out the boat anchors and drop in american muscle. B6T your car is a heap and your a complete moron. Take your rotary dreams and smokem. Your just going to have to deal with the fact that imports are looseing ground in nborth america.

If you were to say car and driver wasent biased it would be safe to say we would all be driving hondas.

Wow do you actually have any proof to back up why rotaries are so bad? I'm apparently the moron, yet I've provided you with factual information, all you've done is say that they are with nothing to back it up. I know why though... you're just too dumb. That's why. You obviously don't understand how they work. Your stupid *** just sees something on the internet about apex seals blowing and then you think a rotary is . Your a ing parrot, you hear something then you repeat it without even thinking about what you're saying. So please, try and redeem yourself and save face... because I'm pretty much telling you to prove yourself right now because if you don't everyone will see how much of an idiot you are.

Imports are losing ground in North America eh? That's funny, because last I heard GM is closing down Plant 2 in Oshawa, and Toyota is building a new plant in Woodstock? Companies usually close down plants and put thousands out of work when they're doing well. Yup, your right again.

Just to add to the controversy both American cars and Japanese cars are , the only thing half decent are european, though they are expesnive they are worth it, European car manufactures are the only ones who actually consider power and low gas milage to be important, perfect handeling and great power to weight ratios are all evident in almost any european car.

^ I can't argue with that! Europeans, specifically Germans, make the best cars in my opinion.

If any of you guys ever have the chance to drive any Turbo quattro Audi from any year you will instanly fall in love with it, and it will be probably be the only car you will ever buy after that.

btw: im not really raggin on Japanese cars its just that the good japanese cars are not avaliable to us and the ones that are, they are .

Good jap cars include: fairlady, Silvia, skyline or any old school Datsun the original Z.

American cars were once in their hayday awsome street machines but one has to accept the fact that the big 3 now are . big *** HEMI engines just aren't cool anymore unless you think spending 1 weeks pay check on gas is cool.

I was so close to buying a 1990 Audi Coupe Quattro a few months ago... but the guy sold it when I went to get it. It pissed me off... the sound that 5 cylinder makes puts a VR6 to shame.

Man 5 cylinder Audis are sick, they have limitless power potential and the quattro AWD system, I can bet that the rear end on the coupe quattro is stronger than any 9 inch ford. The axel shafts are the size of tree trunks.
