Let's face it guys, there are plenty of american cars we would like to have. Some just don't like to admit it.

The Camaro SS and Pontiac Trans-Am were both beasts with power. GM didn't do well enough with the platform obviously, but if raw power and torque were what you were after then you couldn't go wrong. Bang for the buck in it's finest.

Our EPA and safety regulations always limited things and that's where asian automakers kill us. They make efficient cars that are still top-notch performers. You get the best of both worlds with imports.

 

Beasts of power in a straight line yes. I just wouldn't spend money on one, I prefer to be able to go round corners

 

It's really just up to your driving style and what you enjoy. The US has always been about straight line racing (or even in a big oval ). The rest of the world is all about real racing.

That's why I love my bike. The Z is great too, I just haven't gotten it on the track yet. I will be doing some autocross and drifting this year.

 

Yes +1 ^^^ on that Eric.....I love the Laguna Seca races.....Now thats a nice course.

 

fith, I ended up going today to the auto show...

and on the note of American cars, there are 4 Camaros there, they look great... til you sit inside them.... GM CANT DO INTERIORS!

 

What a bummer....that has always been a problem with the US manufacturers, they don't have any creative genius to make the inside cabin look nice and function great.

I might go up there in the AM tomorrow. They open at 11:00 AM. So if I get there early then I might avoid some crowds.

 

yeah... But the car itself does look absolutely AMAZING

 

The exterior makes up for the interior. Just like the Z as a lot of people would say.

 

Good morning Friends & Foe's:

Anybody know who's Z this is posted in CL ? Looks fairly clean.

 

Don't think so. Apparently 255/35/19 and +10 offset up front is barely too much if anyone is thinking of running it. Only rubs on hard humps/dips.

 

smoking hot chick on 114 this morning waiving me down, are you here?

 

That must have been Kristi.

 

Kristi is a bit of a hooker, so she might have been trying to get a new client

 

haha jerks

well we are in a resession and money is running scarse so a girl gots to do what a girl has to do...

hehe

 

At least you have another source of income.....and you can work nights.

Nope it wasn't kristy, ive seen pics of her before and her car is silver, this z was black (but ill take kristy)

 

one of my employees just recently helped his friend pick up a Viper he had just bought off ebay. the car was located in el paso so they drove there to pick it up. they drove there in a of all cars the friend's 350z. Ryan, my employee, had the pleasure of driving the Viper for about 200 miles, much of it at very high speeds. He said that the Viper didnt feel as planted as his friends stock Z and even noted that you could just feel like you were driving a Dodge, whatever that means. take that for what it's worth.
