We gotsta step it up

I am an avid viewer of Youtube for some time and as you know I am also an automotive enthusiast. So through the wonder of YouTube I have been able to satiate my desire for car pron. I have noticed though that on the underground racing scene that imports seem to be dominating domestics granted you can find videos of domestics beating ricers as well, but that's not the point. Anyone who is anyone obviously knows what a Supra is and what it can do. For those of you who have forgotten here's a video.


The problem is that these people build these cars and go out and smoke American cars and then post videos on the internet. Don't get me wrong American cars kick ass there is nothing I like more than the roar of an American V-8, but as owners and drivers of these cars we have to learn to pick the races we can win. Sure stock Mustangs and Camaros are great in fact here's a video of some pretty awesome F-Bodies just to prove the awesome factor.



But as owners of these cars we have to be careful because stock v stock an SS Camaro or a Mustang Gt should and is able to beat a Stock Japanese muscle car like the Supra or the Skyline. However, what happens is that these "tuners" get a pile of bolt ons and go out and beat stock American muscle and think that because they have done so not only are they the most amazing people in the world, but that American cars are shit. However, if you were to line up similarly modified American and Japanese cars the American car would probably win, but at that point its more on the skill of the tuners and not a nationalistic issue so back off.

So here's what needs to happen all of you who own American muscle you need to modify these cars and go smoke a Japanese car of similar build then post videos all over the internet so as to restore the pride of the American Muscle car.
