Import Tuner vs American Muscle - Your Opnion? Pictures

[I'mPoor:(]

So I figured we could have some fun with this.

What is your opinion on Import Tuner cars vs American Muscle?

Post pictures of your ride whether it is an import or made right here in the USA!

I'm going to say I throughly enjoy my 2002 Celica better then my 1990 Corvette. I have only had it for a few days now too. I find it more enjoyable to look at and much much easier and cheaper to upgrade, plan on doing a lot of fiber glassing custom molds new rims etc within the next few months.

Now looks maybe one thing, but we all have to throw in the driving. The corvette is a monster when it comes to driving pleasure. I love driving my corvette the power in your hands is insane. If you have never drove an American muscle V8 DO IT.

SO I am split when it comes to which I like the most because Driving it would definitely be the corvette, but for fun and looks the celica.

Audio wise I have like $1,300 in my corvette and the celica is stock with just a simple aftermarket headunit. So We will see once I swap all of my system to the celica, driving it everyday now because I like the 35 MPG. Its a 6 speed.

Here are my cars below.

Though since I'm going to Japan in about 9 months, I will be getting into the tuning world. Looking at a 92/93 Toyota Mark II and buying a GTR to bring back to sell.

What vett do you have ? I would say american cars have some good ones, but so do import cars. GTR alpha package = game over.

American cars have gotten so cheap and flimsy. I'm a Jap guy tuner or not. I'm starting to like these Korean cars more and more every day

Meh, not like 1990 corvette is really a classic, but I'd take it over any import. Would take pretty much any pre 1980 American muscle car over any far east import every day of the week.

Wasn't calling it a 'classic' but it is American muscle //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I have an 2010 cobalt ss and love it to death. I don't really fit in with either muscle or import and dont give a **** either. I love both worlds but after owning a pocket rocket, I've learned either way rwd is a must
