European cars are definitly the best they are enthusiast cars for people who truly love to drive, american cars are for people who love to go fast, Japanese cars are for people who hate driving or wanna pretend that they are something they are not(****ing civic humpers).

Yes, most of that statement is tru but sayin that kinda on a domestics sucks thread is just asking for a war. Obviously most guys in this are gunna be import lovers. Also japanese cars aren't for people that hate driving dude do ure research

OR, the new 'Vette Z06.

Slap some DR's on her and run low 11s all day.
A guy in the states put drag radials on a stock Z06 and went 10.85 in the 1/4

Three seconds, ouch!!
I might be reading this post incorrectly ...."What happens after his 1/4 mile runs out..." then you go on to talk about 1/8 mile....

1/4 mile >>>>>>>>>>>1/8 mile there chief.

I'm no math expert but last time I checked 2 x 1/8 = 1/4...so i don't think the 1/4 would run out before the 1/8

I don't think we can take your posts seriously

It is true.

It is one of the fastest cars GM has ever built.

You couldn't pay me to take a Dodge product faster than what it'll do in the 1/4. I rented a new Neon a few years ago, while my Rabbit was in for paint. You couldn't even talk in that car when it was going more than 120km/h. I'd pay to see a mile run between a charger and an S2000.

Uh... a 505hp C6 Z06 runs low low low 12's (I've heard 11's on drag radials).

I had to compare the C6 Z06 to Japanese imports to prove my point, not European imports. We all know European imports are the best ones anyway.

No, you'd be much safer to go fast in your 1983 VW Rabbit. My brother had one of those, that piece of ****ing was so rotten that when the scrap yard came to get it, the guy went to lift it up with the tow truck and the whole ****ing sub frame ripped apart from the body. Was your voyager an upstanding vehicle when you had it? Or was it a million mile thrashed mom-wagon when you got it? And you base your final assumption of Mopar on this? "Everyone Knows what I think of Vettes"..No, I dont. Please enlighten me on how a 1983 Volkswagon economy throw-away car is superior. Please try.
