For the import haters

no i'm stating the hondas are slower, and that honda doesn't sponsor the drag cars. gm,saturn,mazda,toyota etc. sponsor drag cars. so naturally they will have an easier/faster time getting to that point(fastest fwd that is).
So i would think honda's would have a fighting chance if they were also cororate backed.
now i'm not 100% but i'm pretty sure honda doesn't have a drag racing team... haha most likely to busy building things that matter like F1 shit.
also look at a size of these motors that plays a huge role in it, as it always has and always will. american companies will build bigger. idk if it is because they can't product the same performance with there cars being quite bloated or if that is just how they want them to be made, lower reving torque monsters. idk!!1
but i can tell you from a tuner's perspective the k series looks more fun then a ecotec.....

it's called a warranty... usually you take advantage of it, and after it's up, get rid of it... sounds good to me
He said he traded 3 vehicles and had the last for 7 months. I am thinking they were not under warranty.
If they were all new and under warranty he got raped from the depreciation on trade in.Trading in every few years is exactly what the dealerships want you to do to maximize their profit. Way to fall for it.

lol.... i am not arguing whether it works or not.....
just laughing at why such a retarded device/contraption is needed to make the car worth a shit
just like all the FWD drag guys should hand a set of tractor weights out over the front bumper

Everything I've had has been new except 2 cars, my first and my 3rd, the rest have been brand new, and even if you keep it after it's paid off, you still get raped on it, not that big of a difference... so might as well trade when I dont want it anymore...

Your Toyota is a diesel? Did your dad plug the truck in? What diesel fuel was he running?

lol , nice trynice classic comebacks to the "ricer excuses". "who cares about bankruptcy? whats that have to do with racing?"
lol the fact that you've built shitty sub par products for so many years that not even your own countries citizens will buy your shit ass cars.
foreign companies are out innovating and doing things to improve the market. meanwhile domestic companies are closing plants, laying people off, and enjoying the government taking over their business. hhmmmm not only is that obviously the better product its definitely the superior business. ?
still gotta love the "no replacement for displacement" slogan all you fan bois have, how bout "power to weight" or "power per liter". any one can bore big holes. do something with your life
Another ricer quote...
So from the movie in this thread you are arguing gas mileage, power to weight, and towing capacity and gasmileage of an ugly suv? Did you not watch the video? It was a cheesy and somewhat ignorant video trying to say domestic cars out perform imports in SPEED and "handling". Go read some brochures in your lobby. Do you even own a 320whp car? Do you even run it at the track? Or do you see how much gas mileage and hp/liter it can make and make ricer comments all day long? -
As much as it pains me to say this, I like my 99 Chevy 3/4 ton w/ 265,xxx miles more than I liked my 08 Tundra w/ 0 miles. Not that the Toyota wasn't a good vehicle with more than enough power and good creature comforts...the Chevy just feels more like what I think a truck should feel like.
Now, for cruising around, I liked the Tundra better I also liked it better in the snow/ice. But for a "work" truck, it seemed to lack vs. the 3/4 ton....of course comparing a 1/2 ton to a 3/4 ton as a work truck is a poor comparison as well.

funny that the chevy equinox also gets better mileage than the RAV-4 or the CR-V
weird the 09 cobalt (non hybrid) does better in MPG than the 09 civic (non hybrid)
or from just glancing that GM has more models that get better than 30 mpg than Honda

No offense Zac, but based on the fleet of Equinox's that SimplexGrinnell had when I was there, you couldn't pay me enough to trust one of them to get me from Fargo to Moorhead and back. They are EXTREMELY unreliable.....same goes for the Colorado/Canyon.
