Ok, I better explain myself, I don't want to sound like a dinosaur.
I am a classic car buff, and the old saying "there's no replacement for displacement" has been heard coming from me in the past, but in all reality, imports are where it is at.
I actually cringe at the site of a tubbed, slammed, screwed up classic now. Yes, a 3500 lb. whale running 10's is damn impressive, but those cars are better off (mechanically and environmentally) in the show and shine lot...unmutilated.
A '69 LS6 Chevelle in stock trim, running high 12's, has a higher price tag, than one with $30k invested, ruined as far as a collectable piece of history is concerned, running 8's.
The fact that anyone born after 1980 has rarely even seen one of these things, is another good reason.
Saying that imports shouldn't be more than show is a tough one...that's like trying to tell a 16 year old kid (for a quick example ) that AC/DC is better than Eminem.
Why do I have a sudden urge to call my dad, just to say hi now?
Sorry about the hi-jack Lord Twilight.
