This is the internet. You're just supposed to talk up whatever you do know as if you're a salesman for it. i.e. I drive a Supra and a Corolla therefore 2JZ is the greatest and so is the 4A and I don't care about anything else because it's all crap since I don't have it. I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.

kenny basically said that you can build a v8 for cheaper. what im trying to say is that both types of cars can go pretty much equally fast, for the same amount of money, and have the same amount of reliability. i can pick up an old POS fox shell for cheap, throw a cheap motor and cheap No2 kit on it, and it will probably cost the same and last just as long.

Right, what I'm saying is when you start getting into doing things properly imports tend to cost more. The 4g63 may be an exception because you can just shove as much boost as you can make down its throat and it won't break...but I can't think of many others that would hold their own. That means upgrading the trans, fuel system, cooling system...you know, the works...so you can drive the car and it doesn't self-destruct.
i almost completely agree with you, haha. but there are many different examples of properly built v8's costing more than properly built imports, and vise versa.(when both cars run the same time). just to give an example of proper vs proper, same year, everything.
93 hatch shell= $500, k-series motor $3-$5k, 12's n/a on stock motor all day long.
93 camaro shell = $500, LS1 motor $3-$5k, 12's n/a on stock motor all day long.
both these cost the same, go the same speed, have same reliability of stock motor, same year, etc.
