Stout cars that just carry the GM name
    Whats wrong with carring the GM name? GM has some pretty good motors. import snobs just don't want to acknowledge them. you can get a better bang for your buck modding an american car than most imports. JMO

    This is true but more in a sense of your v6's and more so your v8s! The imports feel that they started this and the small american cars came in as wanna-be's and they did poorly at it. Which to some sort I agree, but in rightful respects to GM and Ford, people were cranking 400-600whp out of 4cyl a long time before the import scene for circle mudtrack racing. That's where the W41 Iron Duke and the 2.3HO got their glory days from (which were found in Beretta GTZ's and other small cars).
