sounds like BAIeR is formulating, or at least reinforcing his opinion off some schoolboy in an 80's honda with a hackjob engine swap........
find some imports built right and driven by people that know what they are doing and see how much better you 6 cylinder is
i'll even point you in the right direction:
SCCA
find your region, then look up Solo II if you are just getting started.......you'll meet guys worth talking to that drive both imports and domestics
