The problem enthusiasts have with economy performance cars is that the economy comes first. Most of these import enthusiasts got a Supra because they used to drive a Corolla. That Corolla was a family sedan that they made fast. They were so proud of their build that they stuck with the brand. The very same thing could be done with a Malibu, but they've grown loyal to their Toyota because they have the pride of building it. On the other hand, enthusiasts who start with a car worthy of their enthusiasm have the pride of attainment. We want to get the best car out of the factory, and we saved enough money to get something worthy of that pride. After attaining our ideal car, we build it to make it unique. We have more pride than most economy import buyers because we have both the pride of attainment and the pride of building it. They settled for something acceptable and took their time to find the right parts for it.
No one likes to be wrong. The guys in fast FWD imports know that they drive a fast FWD economy car, but they refuse to admit that trading up is the best option. They say what we say: "There's always someone faster." They don't care that we'll beat their Integras and Civics because they're too focused on beating SRT4s. They don't like to be told that they have an inferior product. That being said, I'm sure that in an experiment, they'd always take a Corvette over their 2.0-L beater for all the right reasons.

who wouldnt take the corvette..
I had a SRT4 before this car and I'll tell I loved it. When you are driving in a fwd drive 4cylinder and smoke a supercharged mustang its good feeling.
I beat a R8s and corvettes and got props. People dont expect it to win so its a good feeling. When I race someone in this Camaro they expect it to win. So not the same feeling..
that why going to hook it up and go after bigger fish..
