No love on this site for 4 cyl

[CTSV]

This site rocks. period. Had to say that. Any body that takes real pride in an import makes me sick. I don't care how fast your wrong wheel drive honda is. I'll never respect you. It's an American pride thing for me. I just can't be passionate about anything but American iron.

I think that its pretty funny when these imports think that they are hot shit. They talk about how they can out handle us...well thats true...for the most part...but thats not where it counts. Where it counts is on the highway or at a stoplight. Thats where I get most of my kills from.

[Pewter s10]

what they see is the curves... even then, they are crappy unless you put a lot of aftermarket parts on them, but all that gets you is a car that rides like a rock...

i am right there with you, american muscle all the way... i actually argued last night at work over the subject

on the road is where it counts. however, i do think it would be fun to race on a set up road course, hitting turns etc

[jwindbigler]

Yeah it would be pretty fun getting on a road course. But like you said. On the road is where it counts.

[cobaltkisses]

im not an import ive got a domestic still a 4 banger with a sc is that bad

thats just a misconception that people have. with the right set up an f body will do just fine on a road course. i hate the way front wheel drive handles. if im going through a turn i know that i can compensate for some understeer and get through the turn easier by swinging the ass end out a bit. front wheel drive gets touchy when you hit the gas and take a turn....
AWD is another story though...its mighty fine.

no. dont ever doubt yourself, you drive a GM. there is no reason too.

The FWD is the worst thing about it.

[jwindbigler]

Yeah, but in the market its in...its a pretty badass car. I mean it is designted to take down Neons (SRT4's), and pretty much every Honda and Toyota. I will take a GM every day of the week.

as factual as that probably is please dont bring it up.....
youre opening this up for the trolls to try to justify their cars and way of life.

lets watch and wait.....its all we can do.....

[Mjolnir]

This thread is actually for imports, and as far as justifying their cars, they have every right.

read post number 1.....

and the whole site is domestic-based, so if any fan boy trolls wanted to congregate and talk vtec, this is where they would do it.

[Mjolnir]

Exactly im not sure what your trying to prove.

Honda's are more American than GM??

Dude, don't be an idiot. You obviously have no idea how economics or trade work.

Honda is a JAPANESE company. They were founded in Japan, and their headquarters is still there today. When Honda makes money, it helps the Japanese economy. When Honda gives people jobs, it helps the Japanese people.

Honda builts cars in many different countries. Why?? Because its cheaper. They don't built cars in the US out of good will, to help give Americans jobs. If you believe that you'll believe anything, they do it to save money and be more efficient. If they can built the cars that are sold in the US in the US, that saves a lot of money in terms of importing and shipping costs.

Japanese automarkers being in the US does not help our economy. They built factories, hire workers, sell cars, and then all the profits and economic benefits go back to Japan. The US is merely the middleman. If it all of a sudden became cheaper to built cars back in Japan, those factories and workers would be abandoned in weeks. They could care less, its not their country.

Honda, nor any other Jap manufacturer, including Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, ect, will ever be an American company. They are Japanese, nothing more. Trying to pass them off as American is a disservice to real American automakers as a whole.

Do yourself a favor and stop making dumb statements such as quoted before the can of worms you opened really spills out.

[mrr23]

wesman, you seem to have a penchant for wanting a ban. you're making what he said out to be more than what he meant it to be. don't over analyze the statement. plain and simple, the f-bodies were assembled out of country and the hondas are assembled inside the country.

[Stone Cold Goat]

Yea WESMAN doesnt get along with too many people on here.......WESMAN do you need a hug????

[Stone Cold Goat]

and it comes with a totally B.A. sound system.... (i mean, for stock i havent heard much better. pioneer makes good shit)

Yea the Cobalts do come with a wayy better sound system than my car!:yup:

[CTSV]

Any body can assemble one anywhere, it's the engineering that makes you feel good when you mash the pedal.

What did I do to cause me to be banned this time??

Stating the facts along with my opinion, as usual??

I didn't break the rules...you seem to have a penchant for wanting to ban me for some reason.

Hondas are not more American than GM cars. Country of assembly is completely irrelevent.

yea no kidding thats all i said lmao no crap its not an American company

[Wesman]

Wow, those are really horrible :rolleyes:

I didn't call him an idiot. I told him not to be one.

Statements like that remind me of Thomas L Friedman, a columnist who wrote an article in the NY times about how GM is a "danger to our country", likened them to a "crack dealer", and went so far as to say "we will all be better off when GM gets bought out by Toyota". In case you haven't deducted this from those quotes, Mr. Friedman is a complete asshole and has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. Saying things like that just reminded me of his article.

Sorry if I came accross as attacking you, I took your post the wrong way. I just get kind of defensive about such things ;)

[CTSV]

Wesman your heart is in the right place. How lame is it to defend imports on a GM site?

[Mjolnir]

all i was saying is GM is more of an import than Honda (NOT THE BUSINESS THE CARS)

[adam0321]

I have a 99tahoe and a 98 z71 I always see the ricers when I am in my trucks bith are 4x4 so I hear where you are comming from. if they cant beat my truck I am not wasting the gas money in my trans-am

[adam0321]

cant we all just get along,, you both have very good points, but this is a gm site. and I would think that all would side with gm. I personaly hate imports and would never own one because buying them does help another countrys econamy. but everyone is entitled to there opinions.

[adam0321]

its ok I agree with you. a little undertsanding of foreighn trade and economics can go a long way in this debate. but bottome line this is ls1 .com the only imports i talk about are the ones i beat on the track

[mrr23]

Wesman your heart is in the right place. How lame is it to defend imports on a GM site?

it's not a matter of defending imports on a GM site. it's a matter of civility during the conversation. keep the conversation about the car, not the person driving it.

[Mjolnir]

just figured we could talk about imports in the import section with out them getting flamed. If you dont like imports stay out of the section.

Well i am going to be careful on what I say now cause i dont really feel like gettin banned agian lol My first post wasnt just to start trouble ( I understand why it seemed that way though) I just wanted to inform people that everyone that drives an import is not a ricer fan boy. I am didnt come to this forum to try and convence all of you that imports are better ( i am actually here looking at some info on an ls1/ls2) i just want to say that thinking all imports all slow fwd peices of crap is just because that isnt your style is just silly. Imports have there stregnths and weeknesses just like domestics do. Saying one is the almighty and perfect and the other one is completly worthless is just plain ignorant regardless of wich camp you come from. lol now on a side note i would can anyone give me a good idea ( or tell me where to look) on about how much it would cost to make about 500rwhp on a ls1 relaible on pump gas for cheap ( relitavaly speaking)
