[Mayhem]

Can I bring in an apple for extra credit?

 

[nitro dave]

no, you bribing S.O.B.

The movie was so fake, and now without vin its really going to suck, I was never much into the import scene. I just couldnt understand why I would waste a bunch of money on a rice rocket to still have a slow POS rice rocket that easily gets wooped by some sad v6 chevy corsica. Plus I'm not japanese and like to keep Americans in jobs by buying domestic!:ban: :spam

Ouch he has a point

Well I saw the first one in the theater. I think this one is more of a dvd rental myself.

As to what SXE said I agree all this rice rocket stuff have gone to far. also that have that biker boys coming out. PLEEEAAASSEEEE what a joke.

I miss the days of no replacement for displacement. Big Block Bow Ties thats what I am talking about. Or possibly an orginal hemi cuda if you had the smack or took out a second mortagage on your home. X

I love the whole "buy american" thing. Most all Hondas sold in the States were built in America by American workers. So does that make it more American than an American car built in Mexico? Is it how many Americans built it or which people are getting rich off it. I drive an Isuzu truck with a chevy engine, what is that? I am so confused!!! Bottom line to me is that we now live in an increasingly global economy. Traxxas is an american company, but yet they are manufactured elsewhere. Are Traxxas products american? If they are, why don't they use American manufacturing?

I agree with nitro dave. did you all know that the new Harley V Rod motor was developed over seas by porcshe. Out of all the companies in the US I can't understand why Harley Davidson needed help from Porcshe

 

[SkyMaxx]

Because Porsche had the facilities to develop the kind of engine Harley needed to squeeze into the frame of the V Rod. Awesome bike by the way.

 

[maxxtrac]

I agree but dont you think that a company like Harley Davidson should have the money to make their own facility to develope the motor in. After all Harley should know way more about motor cycles than porcshe. Or so you would think

 

[RaCinJason399]

I can think of several reasons. One, Porsche is a proven racing engine designer and manufacturer. Two, they already have the facilities; so why pay extra money to build a facility. Three, Harley does know way more about motor cycles, but Porsche knows way more about exotic engines.

On top of that, not only can a Harley rider say he owns a Harley; now he can claim he owns both a Porsche and a Harley.

I can understand the buy American and build American thoughts. I am all about America and patriotism...believe me. But in todays world, as previously mentioned, it is harder and harder to tell what is actually an American product. Harley was and still is one of the original all American motor cycle makers, but they are truly American in that they are exploring what capitalism brings...the financial smarts to save money and still put out a great product. In the end it is a win-win situation for both Harley and the riders who buy their bikes.

I agree but If you have the duramx diesel you have a chevy truck with an Isuzu engine

I saw a special on the discovery channel on the harley v-rod and only the general concept was taken from porsche, Harley did most of the designing and what not of the v-rods engine, there were mostly interested in the cooling capabilities of the porsche, I could be wrong though, but thats what this special claimed. As for hondas being made in america and everything, that is only somewhat true, it is only partially assembled in america, My girlfriend has a new civic, it was 74% build in japan than the rest assembled in america! And as for isuzu and companies using chevy motors, thats because chevy owns them, and ford owns mazda and a myriad of other companies. I still cannot fathom why you would want to invest an extra 15 grand in your already 15 thousand dollar import just to get it to keep up with a stock mustang or camaro, Now if you took just a few thousand and invested it in a reasonably priced v8, than you got something to talk about. Personally I own a new mustang with a Kenne bell supercharger, and there hasnt been many cars that can even keep up with me. Especially some weak 4 banginig rice rocket! The cars were never desinged to go fast, they were designed with economy and price in mind, so what would be the point of making a family sedan go fast? To me there is none!!
