Honestly the fast imports are typically very under stated and the owners know as much about cars/trucks as we do.
I have been in alot of good races with imports..Supras,RX7's,Evo's WRX Civics,etc.
I met a guy years and years ago that had a 1992 civic hatch back. I over heard him at a car meet talk about how he gave some kind of muscle car a beat down the night before.
Turns out we had a friend in common so we start talking about cars. He's holding his cards pretty tight and I'm not letting him know much either. I knew he had a hatch and he knew I had a 00 SS Camaro with exhaust
.
We agree to a couple runs and head out to a isolated stretch of road.
First race from a dead stop I got out on him about 1.5 cars and it stayed that way until I let out at 130.
2nd race was from a 30 roll..... Dead even until 165
3rd race from the same roll and I got him by about 2 cars at 160.(bottle pressure was low)
We turn around and head back and start fessing up....lol
My camaro had all the boltons with cam and LT headers/weight reduction. (I was running 11.9 @117 through the traps on ET streets)
His car was a full weight hatch with a built prelude motor and a 150-200 shot.(He said his best time on slicks was 12.2@118)
That little white hatch was fast.... slight drop and some basic but good looking aftermarket wheels. No big exhaust or wing
Mustangs were always more fun to play with...
