Yes, imports suck. Why, you ask? Because people pimp them out to look like goofy-ass clown cars when the fact of the matter is that no matter how much chrome, neon, or giant bubble mufflers you put on you're damn car, its still a Honda Civic. I am sick of stupid cocky-ass import drivers (and in some cases, Ford Taurus or Pontiac Grand Prix drivers) that think they are the pimp shit because they throw a system, some neon lights, and some powder-coated green brake calipers, and buzz around like they are fuckin Johnny Benson. They harass muscle car drivers, and throw the dumbass "100 hp per liter!" arguement. Ok, so you've got 1.6 liters are 100 hp per liter, thats still only 160 horsepower. My 5.0 Liter Trans Am may not have 100 hp per liter, but at 5 liters that'd be sick. The engine in its current state runs anywhere (this is my best guess, based on exhaust modifications and whatnot) from 250 to 280 HP. Brag all you want about you're "100 hp per liter"...but your shit will still be owned. Granted, there are professional drivers who race 4-bangers and push them to the 8 and 9 second mark in the quarter mile...that's impressive. However, these are not the same jackasses who watch "The Fast and the Furious" and realize they can't be fast in their dumbass 4-bangers without pouring thousands of dollars into the engine so instead they choose to merely be "furious" and by "furious" I mean utterly retarded. Bottom line: The fastest 4-cylinder will never beat the fastest 8-cylinder, and 99.9% of the time, any given 8-cylinder will crush any given 4-cylinder to the ground. Yet why do these idiots constantly rev their engines while next to us at stoplights, and why do they take off like a bat out of hell, thinking that I am actually going to humor their stupid asses and race them? Even the remote possibility of me getting pulled over for racing (if I was a cop I'd so go after the import guy before the Trans Am guy, merely because I can catch him far easier...) is not worth my time to show this little bling bling kid what real Detroit combustion sounds like. Besides, 9 times out of 10, even if you do race them, long after you think the race is over and he's so far back you can't see him, they'll come flying by at 100 mph 5 minutes later, and be on their cell phone telling all their friends they just smoked your ass. So quit thinking you're the shit and stick to being "furious"...because you sure as hell aren't fast.
Go back to my page, because Honda's make me want to drop the nuke on Japan again...
