No worries, its an image that will never go away. There are far more ricers out there, than nice correctly done imports.
But I defiantly get more muscle pulling up next to me while im just cruising trying to get me to go than anything else.
I have an 06' M3 HPF Stage 2, and a boosted 06' s2k
Nice rides, mine is in my sig. Needs some work right now though. About to swap it to a stalled auto though due to cost. I just can't keep replacing parts on this T56 set-up.
When I used to drive a import before I moved to muscle, my 3 top choices were: Skyline, Supra & 240. I'm partial to the rear wheel drive cars that can look like an adults car & give muscle a run for it's money. I have ran into too many Honda's running 14's that thought they were 11 second cars, LOL.
