Ha ha, guess I stepped on someones toes. I know they can be made in to bad ass little cars. I just "prefer" an American muscle car. There's no doubt in my mind that one of those suped up rice burners will kick a muscle cars butt in one of those cone track's, or whatever they call them. My friends folks have a Viper, and they got beat by over half the rice burners. In there class, though, they only got beat once or twice. I'm not trying to get in a debate about which is better by any means. They're both good at what they're made for. I just prefer the raw American muscle.
Oh, and for the record... I hate cars, and have no need, or desire to see how fast I can go around a curve or in a straightaway. I'm a truck guy. My Mazda B4000 (Ford Ranger) is the closest thing to an American vehicle that I've got. My daily driver is an '02 Nissan Frontier 2x4 with a 4-cylinder :D . See, I wsn't trying to start anything, just stating what I prefer, and obviously don't have. ha ha.
