yeah. i know they ship cars everywhere. thats my point. go to a foreign dealer ship in and asian country. the prices are jacked up. just as japanese cars are jacked up here.
As for the sk2 "flaw" compairison. thats not the same. this is a intke port NOT OPENING no air = no power. i dunno what that whole 5k miles deal is. Did the v-tec not start coming on till then? Maybe for break in? Well Mazda is aware of this problem and quickly snatched the cars away. So i'm sure its not the same
When you say "drag limited" you make it sound liek no matter what you do it wont go faster. its just it wont go faster factory preped. it needs more power.
As for your whole thing about fwd vs rwd. Take a look at the ITR as i said. It will pull over 1 G on the skid pad and out handle most RWD cars. FAct. its done everyday.

thats bull shit man 80k-100k wont have an effect on the stock form but when u get into hte stage 3 form then youll see drop in reiablablity but any one here running after market turbo setup that didnt come factory turboed isnt goign ot last long like a turboed car from factory... turboed cars sare built to more perciace tolerance specs... thats why rotary's are so good they are blue printed and shit from factory and more... my car jsut had very low tolerence for fuck up's.. u show me a honda from 1990 with a 130k with the cross hatching still there from factory on the cylinder walls and ill be impressed.... so dont say dodges engines wont last that long look at the v8's almost indestrutable... also alot of these american company's would have never messed with a inline 4 unless the fuel concervation problem in 70's..... Im not puttin hondas down or any thing but alot of people here thing american engien wont last long like a import...NOT TRUE TO THESES DAYS ANYMORE...........

Sorry.. the last couple post I have been has been to Domo, he has been contradicting almost everything I say... and most of it sounds like he is a hot head and thinks he knows everything in the world..
