the new pontiac g6. 400 hp from the factory sounds like a runner.

Buford- that is a pretty quick GN ya got there. Im sure the Turbo's have nothing to do with the "little V6" running so fast.

I am a die hard American muscle fan but, these little imports are quick no getting around it, you are just lying to yourself if you if you deny this fact or you have never run into a modded Supra before.

To be correct it only has one turbo (they came from the factory with a turbo, for those that do not know), it is still a stock block and it is under 250 c.i. and it weighs 3600 pounds. Imagine if it was as light as a Honda.

Anyway, most imports are sloooooooow. When I am at the track, it is hard to find an import that runs faster than 15 seconds unless it is a WRX. I myself am a fan of the RX7, like the Supra they were fast from the factory and can be readily modified. Try getting a Civic in the 10's, that will cost you $40k. I can put a Buick in the 10's for less than $5k.

ok once again i did not clarify my thoughts quite as clearly as i should have. i was talking about the mustangs i most commonly see the v 6 stangs that the city slickers cruise in. and all boast that they are the best. i think im going to shup up from now on and wait till someone wants to talk trucks then i will be more up to date on horespower and crap. maybe the bashfest on me on how stupid i word things will end

Buford-Pardon my ignorance on the number of turbo's, I could have sworn that they were twin, I know I have seen some that were but they were anything but factory. I dont know if you have seen that video of the 1000 hp Grand National or not, freekin awesome, I guess I will have look for it and post it.
