Its all about the muscle. 99% of tuner cars out there are slower than an off the shelf camaro or mustang. Its pretty sad when you gotta dump 10 grand into a car just to run a 15 in the quarter mile. Most of the imports are owned and driven by posers, they've got rims, exhaust, and a body kit for a car with a mighty 90hp 4 cylinder. They know very little about they're car outside of the words cold air intake and jdm. I've owned both types of cars and I much prefer a rwd V8.. That being said I've recently made the jump to the diesel performance world. Nothing beats having almost 500hp, 800 ft/lbs of torque while getting 17 mpg in the city and 20 on the highway, not bad for a 6000lbs vehicle carrying 5 people and my dirtbike.
