I was outrunning mach 1's and GTs since my first Z.

Eh. You hear this in every circle. Muscle car guys constantly go on about how terrible imports are. Import guys talk about how unreliable/poorly designed/etc. American cars are.

It is completely irrelevant.

Pretty much. Having owned both, though, I prefer the interior in an import, the drive-line in a domestic, and think the mechanical quality is very similar with the nod going to American cars for drive-line durability and Import cars for accessory/interior/fit-finish durability and longevity.

Imports are stepping up their drive-lines, and domestics are stepping up their interiors, though.

Mainly, I prefer the high-revving V8's in domestics (The new mustang redline is what, 7K? as was my Z06, I LOVE! revving out a big V8!), and the "wrap around" type cockpit feel of an Import.

I am waiting to see if Nissan installs a better driveline in the new "370" Z, or if Ford makes a more "cockpit" like cabin for the 2015 mustang.

I really think 2014-2018 will mark the point where import and domestic cars are so similar that brand-preference and style preference are the main deciding factors.
