How nice for you. Yeah, both cars were about as slow. I think that is the point, and has been beaten into the ground. There was a reason that the two threads related to the one incident were closed, so people would drop the issue.
Personally, I grew up with a father who worked for Nissan, and owned a modified '65 k-code. I've seen good muscle from both sides of the Pacific, and even over in Europe. So don't think that I am being closed minded when I ask what your point is.
This is a Mustang board, and that's what people here are partial to. So a guy starts talking about how is Supra is fast, and he beat a v6 Mustang. The point really is that the Mustang is and has been a benchmark for performance for darn near 40 years, well except the dark days of the Mustang II. When you say Mustang people assume, fast and v8.
The only thing I am sick and tired of is people coming along pulling a Rodney King and waving the PC flag. The, "Can't we all, just get along?" crap got old 10 years ago. I give guys crap that drive 10 sec Nova's because they are GM's. It's for the same reason they make fun of my friends 427sohc Deuce.
Here's a clue. Car guys talk crap about other makes. It's more of a high school rivalry thing than a 'I'm a racist and hate Asia' thing. Get over it already. Fast is fast, and if it ain't Ford, its at least kind backwards.
