Obviously European engines are also far better overall.



All cars rust sir so your logic is incorrect

unless its fiberglass or carbon fiber


No, fords and most American cars are notorious for rusting at a fast rate. I am aware all cars rust but US made cars are terrible for it. I didn't say that other cars didn't rust.


I will agree about the ford's but the GM cars are more of the better cars on not rusting fast but if you have your car in the sun its full life of course it maybe will get rust, Ive seen plenty of imports that are rust buckets to

I would have to go with a Import, depending on what it was.

American Muscle is still really **** nice as well!

Yeah, as long as you maintain the car well. I love the old American cars but am over to the Euro/Asia side.

We all have our opinions, all cars are nice (Other than some exceptions) lol

I don't see many rusty Fords / Chevys around here, but Ram has and still had a huge paint issue. It seams like any place that gets heat (I.E. hood / fenders) the clear coat peals, and then rusts. Sure the 70's and 80's American cars have rust, but now you are talking about a 30-40 year old vehicle. Most cars that age will have a nominal amount of rust on them weather it is the body, the frame, etc. I see a lot of imports rusty where I am from, but the imports are the beater through away cars such as the 1k Craigslist special Honda civic. Any car with the proper car will not have rust issues if everything was applied properly at the factory.

I hate when people bring the argument "Domestics are better" or "Imports are better"

truth is

Domestics:
Generally naturally aspirated heavy cars with high amounts of horsepower and torque which are mostly used in a straight line for drags

Imports:
Can be naturally aspirated, but many come stock with forged internals making it easier to use a form of forced induction to add that extra power. These ares corner very well and can handle high amounts of HP through modification and tuning. These cars do better in circuit or rally racing do to their amazing handling and cornering. these cars are also significantly lighter then the domestic products.

Really it depends what you use it for

Personally I like imports because i love me some boost <3

.. Wow that was a lot of typing

I'm mainly a Chevy or Pontiac guy when it comes to American Muscle. I know my name completely contradicts that
