    DONK

    I can't really see that taking off anywhere else. Not too many other countries have piles of old American sedans laying around...

    i didnt put donks because the others have atleast a 50 year history and are not a danger on the roads.

    To JITB.....modern times

    American are known for cheap HP, look at how much it cost to make 500hp from a ls1/ls2 or a 4.6/5.0 compared to an import powerplant.

    With the Z06 and old viper (i dont like the new one) we proved to the world we know howto make a sports car.

    There reallyisnt anything new coming out because of the way roads arebuilt in this country and there arnt wide open spaces like you can find in the south of France so its all about doing everything on the track, look at how all of GM current lineup is proving itself on the ring, we havnt anything like that anymore.

    Here's one: Owning a pickup truck and never using it as such. See also, 4x4 SUVs that have never even seen a dirt road.

    1. Americans had always been the ones to produce, huge cars. Just look at the post war G.M.s, Ford, and Packards. This continued to the mid 80's. The term Yank Tank is used in Cuba now for the ones that survived.



    In 1966, Shelby let you "rent a racer" on a mass produced car in the 60's.
