Losing to imports
Never lost to an import but haven't raced many, either so probably not a good indicator.
Of course there are 'fast' imports around, mostly 13-second cars, but they're few and far between the thousands of little Hondas and Toyotas with ricer crap plastered all over them and the obligatory fart muffler with a coffee-can pipe.
Most imports want to race Mustangs because the Mustang has long held the reputation of being a fast car - stock. If you want to prove something, you go after the big guns.
Unfortunately for ricers, most have no clue as to what makes a car fast or what the difference is between a high-16-second Civic with a few mods and a high 13-second Mustang with a few mods - until they get to see the tailights of the 'Stang quickly disappearing in the distance as they desperately mash the gas pedal of their screaming little sewing-machine-powered car in futile pursuit.
Then they want to try it again. Proving that they are (a) terminally stupid and (b) masochists.
