I love the Borla cat-back on my Z, I need to get a sound clip posted. Deep, agressive tone all the way up to 7500 rpms.

Yeah, I'm now a Borla fanboy. I have no problem admitting it. They are not really well known for their V-8 muscle car mufflers, unless you count late model Mustangs and Vettes. I was just tired of EVERYBODY going with FM around here, plus I don't particularly like a chambered exhuast note, especially on Chevy's.

Really? This is a 4 cylinder sedan.
Looks like it won... doesn't support your theory.
Oh, another one...
Warning, second video has swearing, NSFWORH.

Yep, low inertia equals fun... which is why I would love to take a spin in a Ariel Atom or a Lotus Elise.
Why? The "rice burning" engine will perform better in a ~2,000lb body.

Ariel Atom with a SC B16B is my dream car. 0-60 in 2.9 seconds.

Hopped up ricer with rev limiter and probably NOS running against aforementioned '80s model not-so-muscle car Olds with probably a six-banger or 305 tops. Didn't watch the second; thanks for the language warning!

Absolutely no doubt!
I get ragged all the time by a friend of mine that outruns me in his '71 Dodge Demon. Of course, my car has 150 lbs of Dynomat in it, a spare tire, A/C, P/S, a sound system and all the seats. His has none of the above Well, it does have one seat. I think it weighs about 2800 lbs. Mine is 3980. Plus he runs slicks and has tuned his suspension for only straight line driving. Fun, no doubt, but I like the curves, also

Uh no, it's the stock4 cylinder turbo with maybe some bolt ons or a clutch. It comes with 425BHP stock.
The second video is a 650Hp supra Vs a SVT mustang.

Uh, no yourself. Listen to it again. Here it "sputtering" at the line? It's definately got a limiter on it so he can keep the gas to the floor off the line.

What, launch control? That Monte Carlo was making just as much noise. Launch Control and Nos are not the same thing.

Wow. Really? Well from watching the show I would have had no idea that these guys had such an automotive pedigree. They come off as complete retards on the show. Maybe it's just the producers telling them to "ham it up" for the kids. Lame.

Don't go turning my thread into a flame war Sheep.
Everyone has their opinions. I've had Honda's in the past, but I fell in love with the 5.0 back in 86 when my mom bought one and I've loved Mustangs ever since.
You can pull up TONS of examples of American cars whoopin up on rice rockets and vice versa. I personally can't stand the stupid "Rice Boy" subculture that seems to go along with tricked out Japanese cars. That said, I have seen many Japanese cars that were truly bad-***. I remember seeing a Honda Civic keep up with a Viper in a rolling start freeway race. But American cars are my preference.
And saying that American cars can't handle is a crock. My 95 GT with subframes, tubular K-member and control arms, yada, yada, yada, will smoke most cars on the road on the twisties. And the new Mustang is even better. Add a Griggs suspension to a new Mustang and you've got a SERIOUS corner carver!
It's just a question of what you're into.

My Mitsubishi minibus can whoop your Mustang a$$....
Just kidding.... I have respect on both Jap and American cars. Each to their own advantages.
Somehow, i am drawn more to Hondas. Chicks dig Civics so they say.....

Yeah, you can blame that on the producers. Jared worked on Joe Rogan's award winning custom Barracuda, perhaps one of the most beautiful customized Cudas in the country, easily 150,000+ bucks.

Well said, my good man! Sorry for hijacking your post. I had a '90 GT for a couple of years. While nowhere near the powerhouse my Monte is, I really enjoyed driving it. It was loads of fun. 5.0, 5-speed, black. Nice car! Of course, they aren't street leagl (except in commercials..."that thing got a Hemi?") but try to top the top fuel dragsters. 7000+ hp, well under 5 secs in the quarter and up to what, 340mph? With a V-8, of course.Don't go turning my thread into a flame war Sheep.

Seriously, watch The Type R Legend video. If you want anyone to consider your arguments, you need to study BOTH sides.

I've had no less than 6 Mustangs and 2 Camaros. Maybe someday I'll own a Honda, just not in my lifetime.

The studio simply has trouble marketing to anyone younger than the Boomers.
A modified Chevy vs. a 7 series? WTF, thats like racing a motorcycle and a lawnmower. Your Monte holding its own against a 3M on a roadcourse and I'll be impressed.
PS: American cars are cool in highschool, Japanese cars are cool in college. But eventually its time to grow-up, move out, and buy a German car.
