Anyone think that rx7 sounds good?
Sounds like a bunch of mad bumblebees in a coffee can

Oh
My
God.

That first car what ever the hell it is, is just re-god-dang-diculous!

Don't much care for a car that looks like something my sister would drive
but I got mad respect for a car that would LITERALLY run circles around my Fury 440. I am humbled.

The RX7 sounds that way because the rotary engine, and it blew the STI away. The only downfall with imports and turbos is that it costs big $$$ to make them fast; I wouldn't be surprised if people spent $10-20K+ on modding those cars. The turbos do sound nice, but the only import in there I like is the RX7.

Ya' Know. I'd rather take a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner over that. At least, I know that isn't going to sound like a bunch of Rattle Cans...

I was looking at other videos, and came across this. I never thought I would see a modded LS1 V-8 inside of an Evo. Here is the link:

Now, thats just redonkulous! I've heard of LS-1's on Nissan's, but an EVO?! Thats just far fetched there. Different, nonetheless. Whoever likes it, +1 for them!

I would rather have a V-8 too; turbos sound cool but there is nothing quite like the mean roar of a big V-8 engine. I love the way my Corvette sounds with the glass packs on! You do have to be impressed, however, with how much HP people can get out of small 4 and 6 cylinder engines.

I still just like the omni.He slowed it down from 10.2`s to 10.8`s and it`s super reliable.I like v-8`s too but almost any fAST v-8 doesn`t impress me as much as the 4`s do.Of course I don`t like non-mopar 4`s so I`m a little biased.
There is 4 skylines down the street from me and they`re pretty impressive.Even his 4-door skyline looks pretty good.

Don't get me wrong, There is A LOT of good American cars that are V6's that came out of Detroit. Look at the Omni GLH, and the Buick GNX. You know what would be the ultimate sleeper!? 4WD Dodge Omni, with a Fully Tuned 680H.P Engine. That would just be killer! Or, you can't go wrong with a Buick Regal.

It'd be cool just to make the first 4WD Omni. And, to get it certified by Carroll Shelby himself. That'd be an honor and a half! You could make hundreds of thousands! Anyways, you should look into it. That would be sweet!!!

4 Skylines? Did they import them in and have the cars converted to US specs? You hardly ever see them here.
