    I watched some episodes today, and watched the red GTR school the domestics. It's kinda not fair the domestics are ALL (from the ones I've seen) several hundred horsepower, full on track cars with built suspension and mega high dollar sponsors going up against the average lightly to mildly modded import for the most part. It's funny watching them talk shit to the imports, until they get up against a REAL one that waxes them, such as that GTR.

    that's one way of looking at i guess.......

    or...... you could say that the rednecks are usually driving cars from the 60s with far outdated platforms when they could be driving one of these and beating the piss out of every import that showed up. The layout of the show is very favorable to the imports..... they made it pretty fair.

    From what I saw, the domestics didn't weigh much more than most of the imports, were slammed so they obviously had lots of money in suspension, wheels, tires, and aero...all great for track. Most of the imports had about 1/2 of the horsepower but nearly all the same weight. There were a couple imports I saw on there that'd give them a run for their money but most were weak compared to the competition.
