First off your spelling of your name. Its
Machiavelli! you must be a TUPAC lover.
Second. you may know somethings about cars, but evidentally your 11th grade auto class just teaches "tire changing 101". seriously, there is ownly about a handful of imports that can beat our muscle cars.
Now i have no problem with imports at all. i like them alot! i have 3 Toyota trucks. i have no problem modding them at all or when people do, but your reality is mostly a dream world. if it wasnt for us(Americans), I truly believe the performance automotive industry wouldnt be as big or as strong today. yeah you have your Porsche and Ferrari's, but the average joe/jane wouldnt be able to afford them anyways.
so just remember this: remember who "brang" the term "muscle" to the car industry. remember who brang, shaving your heads for compression, cam lobe speration, lift and duration. remember who brang "port and polish" and "blending the bowls". remember who brang "posi-traction". remember who brang "headers" and performance mufflers. remember who brang "slicks". not saying all these ideas were all American, but
WE popularized it and researched it the most. one other thing, remember who brang
HORSEPOWER AND TORQUE to the scene! i give you a second to think............................................. ..............no it wasnt Honda!........................no it wasnt Toyota!.......................forget it, you still don't know. let me give you hint:
oh and another thing: "Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer" - Nicolo Machiavelli
thats funny, i don't see any import top fuel dragsters? 
you need to get some "hands on" experience first before you can talk ANY numbers! if you have any, then you must have dumped alot of money to make your Briggs and Straton go fast! huh, it probably is fast! but, at least we dont have to take a second mortgage to go fast. you may want to think about that issue at hand. good luck, cause your gunna need it for these guys, cause they will chew you up......
