Import Vs. America Muscle, Kill Story...bye bye bye IROC!

Guest_DJMC_Celica_* Guest_DJMC_Celica_* View Member Profile	So my buddy has a 1987 Chevy Camaro Z28 IROC. And all he does is brag how fast it is, so he has 18"Chrome Rims, which are even heavier than my 19s because his tire base is wider. So he was talking mad **** about how he wanted to race me. We hit the Interstate 90. And stopped and took off, i must admit he had me on the first 5 secs but i punched it into 3rd and smoked him! i was almost a car and half length ahead before i shifted in to 4th. When he was shifting his car sounded like it was going to fall apart. Not to mention i know this kid is a good driver. But was it nice to say..."A Ricer beats A.M."

170bhp in a 5litre LMFAO!! thats 34bhp per litre, thats the most inefficient engine ever!a 1960s vw beetle is better than that!
a 5 litre engine should be putting out 350bhp at least, anything less is a disgrace

Its not particually powerful Uz - but when you consider they can easily last for half a million miles or more you see why they do it. The engines just are not worked at all.

I can't see many 3S-GTE's lasting that long!

Half a million miles with half a million engines in them. Those things arent reliable at all. People are always rebuilding them things. You cant compare NO GM to a Toyota. In fact those camaro's are pieces of crap.

no offence, but i have seen more american cars run longer an harder an more miles than any import, also saying, is that weve owned am in the past an havnt had a chnace, im really only talking about gm, the reast weve had no luck with. and those camaros as long as you chnage oil, and take care of them, they will run a lot longer than any 6gc, i mean most i here are craping out around 160-180k...

Our 89 chevy truck, just died at around, 300k
pops 86 vetter, 206k got totalled, but ran perfect
pontiac transport, 208k perfect, only a new trans

to add one more thing, every car is a peace of ****.........
