WHERE AREA ALL THE FAST IMPORTS....

So I want to know where are all the "fast" imports and for that matter all those incredibly fast Z06s as well. I have never seen a new Z06 at the track and I am there frequently. I cant wait to race one...if it ever happens..

BUT where are all the fast imports? And I don't mean all the gutted import cars that have been completely rebuilt...although IMOP that's the only way they can beat me.

Where are all the fast "out of the box" imports? The ones that are apparently so close to the 03-04 cobra in stock form...so close that several magazines compared them or even said they were evenly matched.

WHERE ARE YOU? BRING IT ON!

and please don't get too brave here unless you are willing to back it up at the track!

...

I went to Englishtown last night...the night all the imports usually go.

Even when I missed shifts I blew away the imports.. I drove so bad that I missed 3rd and 4th on my third run and STILL blew away the import car I was racing..

I'm so sick of hearing about imps beating people in street races and seeign the videos where you cant even tell when the race was over. I mean did the imp win or was he just too stupid to get off the gas after going 100mph for a while???

AND NOPI TV OH BOY..... I think they pay some slow mustangs to race against their cars.. of course they dont point out that most American car owners stay away..dont go to the track on the day of their events so of course the top domestic competition isn't even there..

The Speed Channel is what brought this thread on!!!!

SO LETS GO.....pass this on to some IMP owners and lets go to the track! every Friday night that the weather cooperates im there.. email me if you want...and bring your video camera!!

First of all 13.1 for a stock CObra is not right!

If you read the magazines I understand why you think that and maybe for an inexperienced driver that might be the time they run, but I ran 12.76 in my car stock and I didn't have much experience at the track at that time either. For some reason magazines like ROad and TRack and Motortrend really look down on Fords. At least when it comes to ET numbers they are always low.

To me the $$$$ cars you bring up can't compete. I stuck a pulley on mine and some drag radials and run faster..

BUt my point here wasn't to talk too much about who should win...but who does win... and that would be us Cobra and Mustang guys with simple bolt ons if not stock.

Don't start talking about fast Hondas. The only ones that are fast are no longer anywhere near what they were when they came out of the factory.

I could rebuild my car and turn it into a 6 second machine if I wanted to spend the money and continue to spend the money on that type of set up. There's a guy at the track with a 6 sec Vette. He had the entire car gutted, pretty much rebuilt... or there's the Milk TRuck! an old jeeze 1930 something Ford i think that runs low 13s.. You can make anything fast. AGain not "who should win" I'm talking about who is winning and it's not the imports.

(BEfore I continue import bashing... I should note that I think overall quality on import cars is far superior to anything "American" made (in quotes because most of the parts on "American" cars come from other countries) and if I was going to by a truck again I would buy a Toyota! Oh and I drive a 89 Volvo (preford buy out of the company) with 257,000 miles and it's great... but slow like all imports! LOL For a commute car I would go with a Toyota... I even like the Prius and the FJ Cruiser....)
