Unleash the CAPS LOCK lol...Ok so we're now talking technology and taste
Technology, mmmm...the Americans have been building aftermarket parts for the Japanese longer than the Japanse??? Who builds HKS cranks? Farandon in the U.K. Who makes their pistons?? ...Cosworth, when the Americans wanted to build a 5 speed g'box what did they do??? For those of you that hav'nt read Lee Iococa's story, they got a Jap g'box and pulled it down.
Dont get me wrong here I've owned a couple of American products and one only has to look at the likes of Keith Black, bard Anderson and a hundred other cats to know that Americans develop nice gear but have you ever sat in a Vette with that stupid electronic dash, could you take the Cobolt seriously? My concern really is the aesthetic. The results of American cultural imperialism arnt always the best...F&F anyone? The Japanese produce a specific style of modified street car and my concern is that we will lose that as we become overwelmed by a dominant American taste...or lack there of.
In closing, the hillbilly's, rappers and obese talkshow characters will get their hands on these..its a sure thing. "Chrome 22's and an extra 4 LCD screens for your R35 bro?"
