Aren't Imports supposed to me way more reliable than North American Cars?....

lol, I love that one. Most people don't realize that the performance imports....especially the turbocharged ones arent nearly as reliable as american performance cars. And to top it off theyre worse on gas then most american cars. try getting good mileage out of a turbo eclipse or turbo RX7

I know, fuel only contains so much energy. If you produce more power you need more fuel, no matter if you're a 4 cyl or 8.

Exactly, and when they get their hondas to go 12s, all of that "Honda Reliability" pretty much goes out the window. Plus they compare reliability with almost new imports to "their friends 13 yr old domestic"

The rotary engine has never been known for its reliability or gas mileage. Also, it takes a lot of attention to detail to properly built a rotory engine.

It's a shame that Mazda didnt make a bigger displacement rotary, that thing wouldve cooked. Do you know that originally Chevy was going to buy the rights for it and had plans to put it in the Vette.

Good kill Cam, Im glad to see that your car is coming along well. A properly tuned turbo twin rotor can whoop some serious ***. But stock they really arent much to worry about. Id bet that your car would whoop on a stock 3rd gen turbo. My 95 did with about the same mods and a slipping clutch.
Im still thinking about getting a fox body. I just found out last week that the dealership I work for is shutting down for good so now I have to find a new job Its cool though, Im sure I will be back working somewhere else soon enough.......and I still have left over mustang parts lying around here. By the way I STILL have that damn 94-95 mac intake if you want it. I only used it for a week. 100 bucks and its yours.

SteedaGT, Surprisingly the induction was the LAST thing I ever did to my 95GT. I had everything listed on my signature on that car and was using the stock induction tubing with a drop in K&N filter. When I put on the Mac kit my custom chip didnt agree with the new air flow levels and the car wouldnt idle right. To get my cpu to accept the new induction I was going to have to get my chip re-burnt which is expensive. So I put the stock stuff back on and ended up selling the car a few days later.
I dont even think I used it for a week, probably about 3 days. I really liked it too. The whole car sounded different with it on, the throttle response increased very noticeably and you can really hear the system working. I dont have any pics because I dont have a scanner and really havent been trying to sell it. It looks just like all the pictures in the magazines and its in absolute perfect condition. It really looks like its never been used.
