I think that you have proved everybodys point that only smart-aleck punks like rice with no respect for anyone who disagrees with them or doesn't have a "Sick" car like thiers otherwise you wouldn't have gotten so offensive.

Take your uncle Ben's and fast and furious your way to the oriental websites where you all can talk trash to each other and live happily ever after, I for one would be happy.
You sir, are a complete idiot.

The only bad-mouthing I did was towards people who were bad-mouthing others. I've stated *SEVERAL* times (read that closely--SEVERAL--) that I enjoy domestic muscle as much as the next guy. Otherwise, I wouldn't be building a '72 C-10 up in my spare time.

The *ONLY* issue I have is with narrow-minded people lumping all import owners into the same basket, and labeling them all as "slow". There are quite a few "I-Can't-See-The-World-In-Color" people who own domestics (as you're well proving this theory) as well as Import owners.

There are "Ricers" and there are Import enthusiasts who just appreciate the same thing that most of you do---working on the cars and squeezing power from them. The fact of the badge plate on the vehicle shouldn't mean a damn thing.

In essence, you're just as bad as the cocky 17 y/o driving around in their fart-can equipped Honda with his hat on sideways pumping the latest "Slap Yo Bitch" CD in their Kraco soundsystem and laughing at all the "Domestic Junk". The only difference is that you're on the other side of the fence.

If I'm in the wrong enjoying both, well, then I'll die be wrong--but at least I'll die knowing what's actually on both sides of the fence.

And your notion that the only thing import owners do is buy a $25K car and deck it out only strengthens the proof of your ignorance that you seemingly love to wear as a badge on your arm so proudly. I have built and can show you MANY cheap 12 and 11 second Imports. One I bought for $500, due to high mileage and a bad ECU. Took it home, changed the fluids/filters/plugs and did a timing belt service one. Drove it for a week, pulled it into the shop. Built a 2.5" downpipe and cat-back for it, put in a used centerforce DF clutch, ported the exhaust manifold, hung a used 20G on it, a $35 manual boost controller and an intercooler off of a junkyard Starion. Tuned it the next morning (no sleep) and went to the local track for Test-n-Tune. Car netted a 12.9@105 on shitty "Big O" 195/60/15s.

Built a 3" catback with an Ultra-Flow over the following week, and upped the boost--12.2@112...in a car with 154K on the odometer.


I can give you a literal LIST of other cars I've built over the years like this.
Yep, we all stick a ton of money in these cars...
