Ok, I think the age old battel between Mustangs, and Camaros, is getting just that. Old. So I got to thinking, what if Mustangs and Camaros, joined together to fight a larger problem. Imports! So who is with me, no longer Mustang Vs. Camaro. Who thinks it should be Mustang/Camaro Vs. Imports?

that's nice and all, but your always going to have people from both sides that are stuburn and refuse to get along with others. they're the kinda people who think there car is always better no matter what. but i agree it would be nice to see all the american muscle cars get along. i mean you don't see hondas fight with nissans!!!

Ya, I see what you are saying, about somebody's always going to say their car is better then yours. But if muscle cars all joined together, imports wouldnt have a chance. The Mustang Camaro battle has been going on for so long, that it would be almost imposible to change it, I just think it would be cool if you could.
Come on be nice. There's is no way in hell an import can keep up with a muscle car. So why pick on them. Stick with your own kind. Rice with rice, and muscle with muscle. No need wasting your time and gas on ricers. I know that whenever i take out my Trans Am, i only race Stangs and Camaros. And whenever i take out my Celica, i race imports. Im not dumb enough to take my Celica and go against a 500hp muscle car.

The import WON'T keep up.[/QUOTE]
i feel like i have to state that if you had an mkIII or mkIV supra and put the same ammount of money into it as you did a stang the supra would smoke the stang hands down......

supra is an import but in my opinion close(ish) to domestic (rwd and stuff). and generally by import it seems they mean 4 bangers and junk. and note how supras can own most all other imports? i consider it (kinda) a poser domestic. it hasn't followed the traditional import economy car trend, but the american muscle trend.Admin38027.9851157407
To me, the Supras, RX-7's, and the 300zx-TT are import muscle. Those are the cars i can respect on the track. Ive seen several Supras and Rx-7's running 11's easily at the track. Ive actually raped by an Rx-7 that ran an 11 sec 1/4mile. And arent those Rx-7's 1.3L Rotary engine?? I was pretty pissed when even my 5.7L couldnt even hang with a 1.3L car. But then again, my car is all stock, so i cant complain. He probably had done some turbo upgrade that costed him thousands of dollars.

Well, let me try to give my $.02 in this. Well, I definitely respect the really fast imports and all, as for speed. IMO though, I would never own a riced out import, but that's all personal preferance. But when it comes to modding, I think that domestics rule the game. American muscle is just simply the best bang for the buck, no matter how you look at it. Now there are a select few cars in the import category that come from the factory with a nicely modded 4 banger that is very decent in performance, such as the Subaru WRX, which will run 9.50's all day long in the 1/8. That's very respectable for an import. But still, that's all it is, AN IMPORT! Overall average, an american muscle car is the best way to go. And if someone was to go for the faster factory imports, then they will have to shove out a lot more bucks to get one, which will put them in the american muscle car price range. That makes me wonder... why doesn't EVERYBODY buy american muscle if they want performance? Again, it's all personal preferance. As to the topic, I agree that when it comes to battles against cars, beings domestic vs. import is such a big hit, I think all american muscle should stick together, and all the imports should stick together. You see more mustang lovers liking camaros, corvettes, and vipers more than you see them liking imports. Seems to me that should be what the battle is over, domestic vs. import. Just my opinion.
Very well stated 03SVTcobraa. Either you want a fast performance car, or you want a car that you can customize it to the way you desire. Imports may not be as fast, but they can be made to look better then a domestic. I drive both a domestic and an import, and i have to say, that when imports are suped up, boy do they look bad ass. For example, you can take a POS honda civic, and supe it up so much, to where you can have a car that looks different and thats more unique then other civics. You cant tell me that when you drive down the road and you see a suped up import, you dont look at it. There are just so many exterior modifications you can do to an import. Imports stand out more. I live in Texas and everyone here has a mustang. 1 out of every 10 cars is a stang. its not a big deal anymore when you see a stang, cause they all look the same. But like 03SVTcobraa said, its all about personal opinion.
