[this is not cbring]

disclaimer: i am not referring to anyone on here or anyone in particular.........

a general comment on a personal observation of domestic/import arguments...........

when comparing/benchracing street cars, any "import guy" who refers fuel economy, insurance costs, or any form of practicality at all is invariably ridiculed, mocked, and told that the subject is racing, so none of that matters.........the "import guy" will receive the same type ridicule for presenting theoretical set-ups that they don't have and are countered with a "run what ya brung"

however, when some import is presented that runs a time that is considered respectable/quick/fast/whatever by even a traditional rwd domestic v8 platform..........the import is immediately discredited and the, "it costs twenty gazillion dollars to do" or "i'd put down twice the horses for that money" is countered.........it seems that practically and cost efficiency are all of a sudden the most important issues and theoretical set-ups are not only now acceptable, but the strength of the defense
