    I think they should NOT blow up the Skyline this time. Seriously guys, give it the spotlight. Enough with Mitsubishi sponsorship!

    Besides the Supra, what Japanese car is worth a shit for racing? I can build a Chevy that will smoke any import on the road for 1/10th the price it would cost to build an import that has the same 1/4 time.

    Shut up! they're bringing back Walker and Diesel, that's awesome. I loved the 1st one, the 2nd in my opinion was abysmal and the 3rd not great but did have a decent story line. I will definitely keep this movie in my radar.

    eh, i don't know about that. I mean the handling on the imports is what sells me a lot. I like taking jughandles doing 50 - 60 and being able to grip the road. Autocross is where it is with these vehicles, but because of the speed, they get moved to the streets.

    I have to give the american muscle car their props, but that doesn't mean we can over look worthy imports like the Supra and Skyline.

    Personally, I have a 1990 GSX doing high 12's on the 1/4 mile. Believe me this is as fast as I want to go, mainly due to reliability issues. The faster you go the more wear and tear on your vehicle. The day I broke a rear axle at the track was the end of my racing days - its too costly to keep up with the repairs.

    For Japanese cars, yes racing is too costly. I had a 1972 Nova which did 11.2's in the 1/4 mile and it cost me a whopping 8k to build in 1994, including the cost of purchasing the vehicle, paint and body work. It was my daily driver, it got about 8-10 miles per gallon, but gas was $1 a gallon back then. I had about 70,000 miles on the engine when I sold itand it still ran strong. I raced the car at least 4 times a month. That was with full interior and a $2,000 stereo system in the car. Damn I miss that car.
