Aside from that brief flirt with retardedness in the 90s and early 2000s, most import enthusiasts realized that where their high rpm/low weight really shines is when the road is no longer straight. For example, the last car I owned was a 2001 MR2 Spyder. Absolutely a pig in a straight line...but give it some corners and watch it disappear. My newly acquired stang may have it beat in the power department by more than 200%, but it's going to need a LOT more suspension work than the Spyder did if it wants to keep up with it on a trip to Tortilla Flat or around an Autox course. And yes, I plan to do that suspension work. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />About the only fast NA imports are the more expensive ones...M3 (just because it doesn't come from Japan doesn't mean it's not an import), NSX, etc. And those have a minimum of 6 bangers.</blockquote>
