Indeed, what would we do with out american buyers aquiring canadian based companies and then undercutting stateside operations.
=( Maybe some of the american people would be less harsh towards our product then... I just think that whole side of things is hilarious. |

Then you can't really understand what I meant. You have to go there (immersion for at least a few weeks) and travel between the countries (just like driving state to state now...no more borders, just signs when entering the next country). It is an eye opener...lots of good...some not so good...but very unique/enriching/expanding...and yes, expensive as hell!

Yes, and my Canadian family members and my Albertan neighbors tell me the realities of getting your health needs met there. As a diabetic...I'll keep my Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan. Thanks.

they dont..
It more lies in a car that is not fast doesnt race having a huge spoiler. Spoiler is a performance mod but it ur car understeers it doesnt nothing but slow the car down. A huge muffler with 4" tips but rest of exhaust is 1 1/2" lowering car by cutting springs then not even fixing the alignment. If someone works on the car and puts their effort I give them credit. whether its a civic or a mustang. Some people on here just really hate imports and will do anything to put them down. Like I am not a civic fan but I give people credit for their hard works. friend got his civic down to 15.2 I gave him props (thats like 2 secs off the cars stock time) everyone has different taste. if we were all the same what fun would the world be..

There are some great imports. We all have to remember that Lamborghini and Ferrari cars are imports, just like Honda and Toyota.
The problem enthusiasts have with economy performance cars is that the economy comes first. Most of these import enthusiasts got a Supra because they used to drive a Corolla. That Corolla was a family sedan that they made fast. They were so proud of their build that they stuck with the brand. The very same thing could be done with a Malibu, but they've grown loyal to their Toyota because they have the pride of building it. On the other hand, enthusiasts who start with a car worthy of their enthusiasm have the pride of attainment. We want to get the best car out of the factory, and we saved enough money to get something worthy of that pride. After attaining our ideal car, we build it to make it unique. We have more pride than most economy import buyers because we have both the pride of attainment and the pride of building it. They settled for something acceptable and took their time to find the right parts for it. No one likes to be wrong. The guys in fast FWD imports know that they drive a fast FWD economy car, but they refuse to admit that trading up is the best option. They say what we say: "There's always someone faster." They don't care that we'll beat their Integras and Civics because they're too focused on beating SRT4s. They don't like to be told that they have an inferior product. That being said, I'm sure that in an experiment, they'd always take a Corvette over their 2.0-L beater for all the right reasons.

I had a SRT4 before this car and I'll tell I loved it. When you are driving in a fwd drive 4cylinder and smoke a supercharged mustang its good feeling. I beat a R8s and corvettes and got props. People dont expect it to win so its a good feeling. When I race someone in this Camaro they expect it to win. So not the same feeling.. ![]() that why going to hook it up and go after bigger fish..
