That's like taking off Pampers and putting on Huggies.

>implying the reverse didn't happen
American muscle became awesome, Jap cars settled with mediocrity. The 90s are long gone.

Jap cars have no more lightweight 4cyl glory. Instead we have 1 ton monsters like the Lexus RC.

No point in getting a pigfat Jap car now when you getting muscle power cheap.

pretty much this.
growing up i dreamed of a 180sx or silvia K. great styling awesome tuning options, etc. Then all the jap shit starting looking disgusting, tougher to tune. The 're-inventing' of the muscle cars peaked my interest, and now i want a r/t or some shit

I grew out of the "you have to only like one kind of car and make retarded bait threads" phase at about 16.

Didn't, Japan's roads and America's roads are nothing alike. We've got big, open spaces to drive through and we built or cars accordingly, four-barrel freaks of automotive nature bred specifically to chew through large stretches of road. The Japanese have winding and sometimes short/small roads, and dense cities with a lot of stop and go traffic, and build their cars likewise accordingly. It's as good as comparing apples to oranges.

The real answer though, don't like just one type of car like an insufferable fucknut, it's alright to like both. I'd drive a new Subaru WRX as easily as I'd drive a new challenger or mustang. You miss out on a lot playing the exclusivity game.

The R/T is the one to get, fuck the people saying 392 or bust

I didn't, I realised non-German euro is the way to go

>>17754576
If I didn't want the v6 camaro I'd definitely consider the i4 gt86 as an alternative.

>>17755066
392 would be a much better investment.

so good they have to put real engines in them after overpaying by 10 grand for the car

>>17754653
This right here.
I love Japanese sports cars but it's the 80s and 90s, modern day JDM is awful. The Japanese lost whatever magic they had back then and they can't get it back. The only thing worthwhile they made was the GTR, but the GTR has turned into a supercar instead of being a car that the average joe could possibly afford at some point. American sports cars have changed from being nothing more than drag cars to a well balanced combination of a track and straight line car. Even the Hellcat has posted a decent burgerking time despite it being a fucking huge ass land barge.

A Viper would be a much better choice.
