          Honestly, this is the most played out topic in the universe. Import guys will always refer to the stupid V6 camaro or Stang owner who thinks that no one realizes his car is short two cylinders. Domestic guys will always refer to the plethora of Camry/Accord/Civic owners with annoying exhausts as their only mods who zip around town like complete idiots.

          Sport bikes are better than either.

          HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

          I forgot about that guy, he was sooooo fast!

          I like imports and muscle both. I love the raw horsepower potential of muscle cars, but I love the technology that goes into making imports fast.

              I've said it before and I'll say it again. A true....TRUE car enthusiast doesn't nit pick on whether the car is domestic or import, big block or four banger, ford or chevy, honda or toyota etc, there the kinda of person that can look at a car and say "It's not my thing or I would've went a different route with modifications but none the less it's a pretty damn nice car. There's strereo types associated with different cars also, some seem awfully true while others are quite a stretch, you just have to deal with it. All it takes is for one or two tumbling tumbling dick weeds to ruin it for every one and all of sudden just because you drive a certain kind of vehicle your automatically given a label, then again some people are just asses no matter what they drive. *****When it comes to us, here on FargoStreet, we all trash talk and give each other shit, but it's all in good fun and we all know that and don't take it personally. All in all I'd say a good 95% of car guy/gals can meet on common ground and have a good time and can swap ideas and such that'll benefit everyone. That other 5% can just go to hell, there not what I call a TRUE car enthusiast.

                ^^I agree with him, But this all comes down to one thing. It's kinda like a father and a son. The muscle is the original fast car, without it todays imports would have had no basis at all without all of the innovations of domestic sports cars.
                But over the years imports have borrowed things from the muscle cars eventually becoming something totaly new. Whether your old school or you like the new stuff it all came basically from the same principle. Yes there were some crazy japanese people that created VTEC, but without a basic engine to base it off of theyd be fucked.

                                        There are only two things I hate about muscle cars and their owners.

                                        1. Thinking that a 30-50 year old boat of an automobile is the best car ever made. Believe it or not, but technology does have a habit of improving things. I mean, "tuning" with a screwdriver?

                                        2. If your muscle car is so great then chase me. Around cones, a track, neighborhood streets. Remember that there is more to a car than the engine inside.

                                        They call me, old man...

                                          pfft, I'd chase you except I don't want to have to try and pass you in a neighborhood.
