First I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to respond. Super_Stang, I didn't mean to say that ALL 17 year olds are going the way of the import, it just seems that MOST of the younger drivers I see are in imports not American cars. As for everyone else, I don't think cost is really the issue. As several of you stated, once these import cars are modified, they end up costing more than a showroom GT and may or may not be able to match the performance. I think its deeper than that. Maybe loss of American pride or maybe its the loss of confidence in American made cars. Out of about 30 guys in my office, only 2 other guys drive American cars. I don't know. I don't mean to drag this on, I would just like to say that someday, I hope I'll be able to take my kids to the Mustang-Camaro showdown at Raceway Park, Englishtown, NJ and not the Integra-Civic showdown!!
