...don't ask, the original subject was just 2 boring~
The more & more I read about what cars are in what country the more it seems America is slipping as far as the performance aspec of cars. I mean Australia has really surprised me, big V8 powered RWDs - cars we've never even seen & prolly never will. Europe & Japan have also stepped up. It seems all the "muscle cars" are dieing out and we get shafted with the lower "americanized" versions of overseas wonders. I mean the Z06 has its birth place, the mustang is slowly stepping up and the vipers there but cost so much. We got the HO trucks don't get me wrong but then again were the only ones that have trucks this big.
ex:
Civic Si - alright - sooner or later R
RSX-S - again alright - sooner or later R
WRX - totaly BA BUT no STI - sooner or later...
Lancer - oz package, um no.... - EVO 8? why no 7
240sx - nice looker but no altezza
GTI - 337 but no R32, USA:"um 4motion whats that?"
SVT Focus - nice, racey but no Cozzy RS
GTP - alright, no comidor(sp) - soon to be GTO
?????? - um falcon, why wern't we told about this?
ContourRIP - ss220 mondeo , makes no sense
The more I wine & complane it seems really only the Japs are toss'n leftovers - Germans seem to keep the US in mind, we get all the Ms & Zs, all the AMGs , specialty US models like the new SR6(RS6?) and the rest of the audi S's - anyway time to move to Europe, I'll just have to buy my trucks in good ol USofA. :p
