The majority of imports are going to get owned. I would say they are all going to get owned, but that innovative turbo 3rdgen did get beat by a supra heads up ::hangs head in shame::

Last one I read about (not at RP) the imports one. They sway the rules ro make it fair, but in turn it basically hands the fast imports the win. This one had a class for NA American cars, but the same class allowed the imports any power adder. Needless to say the imports won!

Oh well, I might go if I got nothing else to do, but I wont let it get to me, build your car for yourself, not to be the fastest... that never works!

even if we lose, still kinda like spying on the enemy. Just see what they do to make their cars faster, then take note and do it better.

I doubt it'll happen it's still kind of early yet but it's been raining on and off all night. I had my camcorder all charged and ready to go too.

Last one (one I mentioned before) Bob Cosby was running 11.6s in his bolt on 1999 Cobra, and I believe the fastest NA car in that class was a Pure Street Mustang pulling mid 10s.If you dont think those are fast, not much I can do, but there were plenty of 10-11 second cars in that class, just a few 9-10 second power adder imports!

Bob Cosby is the MAN! He can drive like you wouldn't believe. I've met him a couple times at MIR and he's a great guy also. Even if he did get rid of his TA for another Mustang

Well at the RP Streetwars it's all bracket racing and as of this year it's radial tires only so it doesnt matter how many fast cars show up. I could go down there and lay down some mid 10 second passes then still get beat by an 18 second Honda.

The classes they set up are a joke too IMHO, here's the 4 bracket classes:
Street Stock - 15.00 and slower
Street Tuner - 14.00-14.99
Street Modified - 13.00-13.99
Street Outlaw - 12.99 and quicker

There will be magazine coverage by about 4 or 5 import mags(Turbo, Sport Compact Car, ect), sorry no real magazines to speak of will be there.
