Re: Road experiences with imports.

Most are slow but a few will suprise you.. By me imports are pretty big. I know of 3 different 10 second "street car" imports in my area. They are track verified 10 second cars, but, I use the term "street car" loosely. The 3 of them are pretty close friends with each other and all help each other with their combos ect. All 3 of these cars if pulled over would be forced to go straight to the state ref with out a get out of jail free card. They rarely are on the street.

I also know of 1 import that is DOT legal (went to the state ref), smogs every 2 years (by just swaping out the headers and exhaust) and it's been 9.90 on the bottle and is a consistant mid/high 10 second car on motor. But this is also a 3rd gen FC Rx7 with LS1 swap in it. Car weighs 2,850 with my buddy Aram in it and goes pretty darned good.
