Not really true. Just look at the Corvettes. They will kick *** all over the place.

You can say that Japanese and American cars will always edge an American car out on a real track, but that's not really true. Sure, the Japs and Germans have built a number of cars that are great road-track oriented cars, but so have the Americans.

Same goes for drag racing. You say that the Americans have the advantage... but look at what a lot of the Japanese cars are able to do on the strip... and just look at the massive engines that MB stuffs into their performance cars.

There are A LOT of misperceptions out there. Don't let yourself get caught up in all of that madness.
