uh...mr. freak, sorry to burst your bubble but any car with turbos is fast, and faster with twin turbos. Put twin turbos on a v8 engine and see what you get...

btw...on the subject of fast cars STOCK...a late model SSCamaro has a naturally aspirated engine...approx 330hp without turbos. Hows THAT for comparison...and that's STOCK!!!

Ok, being as this message board has been up for a year, i doubt anyone will read this. But for posterity's sake ill write my opinion. Comparing japanese and american sports cars is a never ending argument, you have to bring in the fact that were dealing with an entirely different class of engines. you can say a corvette is fast, and it is...but then you could come back with a twin turbo supra with a nitrous fogger is faster, which it is....then some idiot starts bringing in 1960's muscle cars with nitrous, and rocket cars that race on salt flats and screaming american pride. and so it goes. The point is if you know your *** most cars can be made fast as hell...and like "PIFEDIT" above said "only a moron races their car stock"....so in short...why the hell are we having this comparison???

You go girl!!!

The truth is, it doesn't matter what car you're running, it's what's running your car. And a good driver is helpful too, I guess.

Dragsters are going to be VERY different from street racers. You can't compare them. It's actually all in the suspension. So if you're an idiot, go ahead and race your 3500 pound muscle car on the road and spin out your front wheel drive import at the dragstrip! Yes, people, stock suspension for all!!! And if you say that 4 bangers are wussies or American cars can't handle, you probably don't deserve to be racing your car because you obviously don't know how!

ok, for no reason im gonna say something imitating the ignorant morons that argue about cars all day without knowing anything....a typical statement in a message board like this would probably be like "Look, you think a corvette is fast, well i mean, america made the space shuttle and it was so fast it went to space, but the civic didnt cost as much as a space shuttle so its better, and i mean its front wheel drive so the power is always ahead of an american car." ...there, this is what half the morons in the world sound like, enjoy your day

pffhahahaha...comparing a car to the space shuttle...lol

a lot of the people on this board don't know anything about racing or fast cars...particularly that Haddock guy...talk about big headed...he's probably never even seen an American car...or driven a Eurosport cause who in the world can afford a true Eurosport? Rich people, that's who...those things run up well into the 6 digit range...even the Acura NSX...

RICE BOYS:
I'm reading that all of the Jap-supporters complain about "American muscle is so loud". If the noise was a problem every riceboy in California wouldn't spend $1000 dollars tryin to get their 127 hp Civic VTEC to sound like a real man's car. Oh yeah, while we're on the topic of comparing American and Jap cars, i see lots of people talking about the economy and technology of japanese cars. Well, my 2000 Z28 has STOCK 5.7 liter 310 hp engine, for less than 23 g's. An Integra Type R with 195 hp would be way more, and the bottom line is NO AMOUNT OF STOCK TECHNOLOGY IS GOING TO COMPENSATE FOR A 115 HORSEPOWER DIFFERENCE. I wish i remember every Japanese car i destroyed. The only Jap car thats worth two ***s was the Skyline, that *** was tight. And the NSX, but for 90 g's i'd rather just get a Testerosa. Hasta. Camaros rule!

I admit that imports can be made to go real fast, but...here's the thing...I've never seen a realy fast import without twin turbos AND nos...a good V8 engine can go real fast with just a supercharger, or a single turbo, or just NOS...give it the right equipment and it will be an awesome street racer...

Some people are dumb and some people are dumber, but I think that what we have here is the riceboy VS the mullet. Which one is smarter? hmmm I don't know. I like American True Mucscle cars like the Cuda, Road Runner, Ect and like old Japanesse Imports like the Nissan 240Z, but the thing that make me mad is that guys who are souping up Honda Civic think their cool. Honda Civics are not sports-cars, nor do they look cool. I am not a Ford guy either seeing they have made many models like the focus and the pougot which piss me off since they look like a *** miniwagon. Chevy I think is ok but what are they doing? you people ask for a twin turbo corvette ever hear of callaway? Callaway Corvettea are probobly the fastest vettes around and nothing can beat A Mopar. Chrysler which probobly has made some of the best cars and my favorite the Viper Venom 800TT can kill any Japanesse Import and probobly all the Eurosports with a 2.4 second 0-60 and a fast quarter mile in just under 10 seconds. If you do not believe me just go to the website and see it for yourself http://www.hennesseymotorsports.com/cgi/store/commerce.cgi?page=v18.html&cart_id=9310473_20209
The otehr thing I have to say is the Chrysler's Hemi is coming back to kill you gay stangs, cameros, and imports.

Hello yanks, Im a scot and proud of it. I would just like to point out that Japanese cars are a *** sight better than any american car. You see the point is that america has a better economy than any other country in the world, the wages are amongst the highest,the cost of living is very low and cars are cheap. I live in Britain and Im used to seeing realistically sized (engine size and the actual car) cars. American cars are too big, the engines are larger than necessary and the handling of most american cars is ***. This is all down to a factor of luxury, the cars have bouncy suspension - therefore dont handle, the engines are too **ing big - and make the prices of petrol or gas as you know it high cos you use tonnes of it. Japanese and European cars are built a realistic size for our roads, they generally have an engine size of between 1 and 2.5 litres to consume less petrol and have a realistic and functional design. Some people in other parts of the world find big american cars attractive, but its a **ing fantasy cos they're so ridiculous - the size, the amount of petrol the use and not to mention the over the top looks. If you take for instance a honda civic (Puk fisher wont like this), It doesnt cost much to buy, you can make it do 0-60 in 5 seconds by adding a chip and a new exhaust, which leaves you money to add a sweet body kit, some nice rims and ICE. If you wanted to make an american car do 0-60 in 5 seconds, you would have to spend a lot - add a few turbo's, a **ing nitro kit and you'd be lucky if you could handle the **ing 3 tonne bastard without wiping out a street. Well anyway im in the mood for a **ing good argument. Bring it on America!

Hey andy, hush, we've got a big country to run over here. The average american pickup can go 0-60 in 9 seconds, THATS A PICKUP. You take these foreign cars and they make it a second or 2 faster stock. Yo

Both Japan and US sports cars are so different to compare. I own both types (Supra and Corvette). Both are great to drive and have different attributes to enjoy. I wouldn't trade either for each other. There just two different cars. I couldn't bash the japanese for their nice work building the Supra and I can't say anything bad about the powerful American steal either. I like both.

CIVIC 0-60 in 5 secs??? I think you've been smokin the glass D1CK to long. I challenge my Cobra against any import. Shoot , the only one that has beat me is a Toyota supra with Twin Turbos. And he only beat me by .1 secs in the quarter mile. Plus, you think american cars cant handle horsepower?? Sorry, a stock mustang gt with auto tranny ran a 10.90 in the quarter mile with a bolt on single turbo kit at only 7psi of boost. Thats moving!! Wait till i get my T76 on board. Then all supras will be lookin at my tail lights (along with every other car on the road)

I like to look at the point liters vs. HP and traction. Take the DSMs (Mitsubishi) 2.0L 16v 4 cylinder and 200 hp stock. In stock form, that's 100hp per liter! The same motor in Japan puts out almost 300hp from the factory (we get the de-tuned version). That's 150hp per liter. How many stock American cars have that much HP per liter? -Not to mention that you can get them with AWD. That means that the performance doesn't end in the rain or snow (it just gets 'toned down'). I could go on, but I think you get the point by now.

To the man Comparing Apples to Oranges...You are a idiot...Yes I repeat and idiot...Japan has just gotten the idea to improve on V8s and you are comparing a V-12 engine to V-6s...Overall...You are an idiot...a 3000GT VR-4 is 320Hp V6 DOHC Twin Turbo...Stock...A american V8 can't even compete with it...Even the Corvette has close times with it...Now if you want to do comparaisons...Get a OHV Chevy 6 Twin Turbo it out and then Compare it to the V6 Twin Turbo Japan makes...The reason why Japan hasn't made an increase in engine sizes...Is because it would be too fkin expensive to afford in Japan so why create them...Now since america has a higher bracket of demands for it and the Insurance won't kill them and at the same time Gas here is pretty much a convience...They started just now expanding the market on a V8...A car people underate is the Acura NSX that can run with the vettes...and it's a 6 cylinder vs. a 8 cylinder...Now if you want to Bring the Henny in the Topic...Compare the Henny to a Ameritech F1 McLaren...Both run 10s in the 1/4 stock...Americans cars are known for Torque...Japan...Reliabilty and quickness...My VR-4 has no problem taking out any Mustang...Camaroes...In my class and it's a Beast...With a simple upgrades...and about 15K more above the sticker price...I too can run 10s in the quarter and still get better gas milage then any Viper or Henny Viper on the road...Want to see a list of Mods of an import that runs 10s in a quarter about to run 9s with the comfort of not stripping down the whole car check out http://www.dynamicracing.com ! I swear some you guys just talk out the ass...and never make a reasonable compariason...I know I can't compete with a Henny Viper in my 97 3000GT VR-4, but I know I can take your mustang, Camaro, LS1, LT1s, and Stock Porsche 911s Non Turbos...And All I did was add a little more money for BPU perfomances and Turbo upgrades...And I still get about 18 to 19 miles to the gallon!
