Because of what I figured it would turn into. I thought about Shoot the S**t, but figured everyone would have a good opinion of what was the best car, so here it is.

Nothing against Imports in any way however it is and always will be only Domestics for me.

I have seen a ton of these threads and after a few posts everyone is bitching about how imports or domestics suck. Lets see how long it takes..

crossfire i suppose... it will probably be import ownage for awhile, due to all the negative feedback floating around domestics. my parents own a import, but as for me i just want something i can be fast in. im currently looking into buying either a trans am, civic, rx7, skyline, 240sx, or a rabbit cabriolet

Go for it. The only problem is the cost of those things. I lookedat getting my wife one, and the average cost of one is like 6000. But generally they are mint because they don't get out in the winter. Gotta swap the engine though, or you'll be owned by almost everything.

I'd like to drive an SVT Focus as much as I'd like to drive a VW 1.8T GTI. Just so long as its a well engineered car, its fine by me.

You have to really reconsider what is a domestic and what is an import... a lot of Hondas, Toyotas, and Mazdas are built in North America now.

I love my Domestics...I'll always be a GM guy no matter what...but I still respect all makes and models of other manufacturers...

Im more of a V8 kinda guy though...so who can argue the sounds of a well running cammed V8 with open exhaust??

I hear sooo many people say "y0 my bros straigth piped 4 with cams sounds like an 8 man!!" no it doesn...sounds nothing like an 8 and never will, nor will a V6...

The raw torque and the sheer sound got me hooked...I'll never turn away from that...ever...

Imports for me... they have their quirks... but it's the feel of the cars (chassis mainly)that do it for me... and by imports i mean european... not japanese...

How about a 750 V12 that makes no sound and no vibrations
