Domestic here. I drive a Pinto cleverly disguised as a Fox Body Mustang

The01Cav · 11-18-2010, 09:33 PM

I'm back in a domestic again, I am glad to be back home!

DexterZX2 · 11-19-2010, 10:29 AM

I'm here and I support both sides. I have my 2000 Ford Escort ZX2 for the domestic side, and my 2003 Lexus IS300 for the import side. I love both of them. I never really got into the whole domestic vs. import thing. My point is if it runs good, get's me where I need to go, and looks good at the same time, I'm happy.

Domestic here, I have a 98 Camaro Z28 with a LQ9 slp crate motor.

nice...bet that baby moves

There are still plenty of us around. Just this place isn't appealing to us. Hundreds of the kids that do all the things that get us kicked out of places hang on this site.

Burnt2Death · 12-03-2010, 09:25 PM

Chevy here... Ive only owned domestic.

Hence the name "tuners". I still like it here though

1000whpTSi · 12-04-2010, 02:50 PM

I agree with a lot of you guys. I've been a GM guy for 3/4 of my life. Raced super stock for years. I just started tuning/racing DSM's over the last 10 years. I have a family member that had GM sponsorship for decades. Now that I'm messing with imports he teases me all the time. But you can't argue with the facts. There are some seriously fast 4 and 6 cylinder out there. Some of them are actually domestic. So I think that helps the domestics guys except them a little easier. I mean one of the fastest N/A 4 cylinders in the world is a 400hp Quad 4 car. Not sure what the engine is in,but thats still pretty impressive.
Some of these 2.0 liters are making 1,300-1,400whp. The World Racing Scion TC makes 2,100hp and has less than 3.0 liters of displacement from a 4 cylinder. Granted the entire motor was made from billet aluminum. But thats still impressive. Thats would be like making 4,200hp out of a 5 liter V8. Or even the 2.0 liters. There are not a lot of 2,800whp 4.0 liter V8's running around. They are out there,yes. But they are not just gasoline powered streetable drag cars. Most 2,000-3,000 hp drag cars are running some sort of alcohol or NM. All I'm trying to say is that for their size todays forced induction 4 cylinders are making very impressive numbers. Some without even filling the block. Some of these guys are running factory cast iron blocks and aluminum heads without re-enforcing the cylinders with hard block at all.
I do have to say though. The aluminum modular 4.6 Ford motor has great capability. Just a few years back someone made well over 2,000whp with a factory 4.6 modular Ford bottom end. Now thats friggin' impressive. My point is that all kinds of vehicles can be fun and fast. Import,domestic,from another planet. Whatever.

Quite a few domestics showed up to the Toys for Tots meet yesterday. A few Mustangs, Cobalts, a few trucks, and a pair of Taurus's.

HickRocket1258 · 12-09-2010, 04:20 PM

I showed up with my mustang. Hopefully next year I'll be able to get my camaro out for it.

Burnt2Death · 12-09-2010, 04:23 PM
