I am mainly saying this because I LOVE track racing, I have been too quite a few track events and they are addictive. So i tend to lean more to imports because they are a better platform for racing, typically lighter weight, short wheel bases and wheel positioned at corners for much better response and control, especially modded ones like my MR. My MR2 handles like a Go-kart, such grip and handling it makes no sense. If I were into drag I'd get a GTO or cobra in a heart beat.

He pulled half a car bythetime wegot to 120. he gave me a thumbs up...muchrespect

You can't argue that the average Japanese car gets better gas mileage than the average American car. I own a 15 year old Celica with 227,000 miles on it and it still runs strong and averages 27 miles per gallon; that's highway and city driving. It's not the fastest car but is sporty, fun to drive and decently quick, handles well in snow (we have 6 inches right now) looks good and works great for a college student. I get compliments all the time and I haven't even invested that much money in it.

@koukicrisp
16 жыл бұрын
yes but the argument was specifically about tarck conditions. A lighter car turns better with less body roll and accelerates out of a corner much faster. By the time you catch him or even start to catch him there's another turn, in which he will only lengthen his lead until you no longer see him anymore. Top speed is more for highway and drag racing. It is pretty pointless in track racing. Very few tracks have straights long enough to make up for the weight, aero, suspension setup of domestics.

I never said the car was rice but I never said I like Evos either. AWD is going to launch better than a RWD car will unless, like you said, the RWD car has a tire mod (slicks or DR's). AWD sucks from roll racing though due to drivetrain loss.

The fastest convertible of the world A Porsche convertible always is a good choice: elegant, suitable for everyday use and at the same time sufficiently sporty. But the 9ff convertible offers more than just that: it speeds up to 100 km/h in less than 4 seconds; 5 seconds later (less than 9s), it hits the 200 km/h mark and 11 seconds later, you scorch the tarmac with a speed of more than 300 km/h. At such a speed, caps or toupees don't stand a chance.

I love all these people that "read" about camaro's having crappy handling. I remember reading and you can find the articles on the net about the F-bodies suspension close but not as good as Porsche which surprised many that was even close. $1500 in the suspension gets a great handling car. The 2 big things against the F-bodies is build quality and horrible interiors. Both can be overcome.

I been to 5 of those drift shows in person and have been interested in it since 2003. The cars that have the highest ultimate cornering speed are usually the AE86, because they are the smallest and lightest. But they are still by far the slowest in all other areas. Why no camaros in WRC if they perform so much better than STi? Different cars have different purposes. The only place camaros are considered top-tier is drag. I can tell your real young and have a lot to learn about auto physics.

You could always mod a domestic to handle as well, but then you can mod the import to handle even better.

The C6 Z06 does have insane handling, some of the world best, not the C5 so much but the C6 really does. the Ford GT isn't really american either. Mainly only the name and engine are american, most of the rest of it is Lotus. Also for exmaple the EvoX pulls 1G on the skid pad, and costs less than half of a viper. My point is that for a good handling domestic you'll pay out of the ass for it.

More stability and traction is just built in. I don't even know what your arguing about any more. This test is right up the Chevys alley and he barely wins. Most tests, the EVO wins.
