I have to agree. Anyone who underestimates the performance of late model ricer cars is nieve. Fact is, a whole lot of them are a lot faster in a straight line than most of our Porsches ( unless you're driving a serious turbo ). Two years ago I daily drove a Nissan R34 GTR with minor mods that was making 390whp, and would run an 11.9 quarter on street tyres every day. I've had friends with 10 second WRX's that are daily driven.
Fact is though, I love my Porsches. The GTR was fast, but frankly too fast for the street, and not that fun on the track. I like how everytime I get in my RS replica it's an event, and it puts a smile on my face, and I love it on the track.
Maybe guys get the same feeling from their 500hp imports, and I guess all power to them.
