NO the truth is Canada exports 90% of the vehicles it makes to the U.S.

Auto production improved slightly in Canada during 2007.

Statistics from industry journal Ward's Automotive Reports show production at Canadian light vehicle assembly plants climbed 1.8 per cent to 2.54 million last year from 2006. The increase is almost 45,000 cars and trucks.

Canada exports about 90 per cent of its auto production to the United States.Last year, output for industry leader GM dipped 1 per cent to 786,098 at its giant complex in Oshawa while volume for Chrysler Canada in Windsor and Brampton slid 11.7 per cent to 534,774.

At the next light I was behind him, the light turned green, he took off and I drove from behind him to around him as he was trying his best LOL.

Attention: No animals were hurt in this production
But an Acura was totally owned!

RSX looks nice, but is slow. Waste of gas.

Exactly my point, and don't think for a minute you TAUGHT me anything. You are contradicting yourself. You say you won't buy an import no matter where they are made BUT Americans cars built in Canada are OK. This would be exactly the same things as a Japanese car being built in the US. US dollars going to Japanese companies or Canadian dollars going to American companies. It's a global economy, about time you learned that.

killing on the streets is as smart as hunting in the zoo. easy pickin's, and illegal.

take it to the track, give us some REAL TIMES...

I am sure you slaughtered the other car...otherwise, why would you tell us about it?

But most races are won by drivers, not cars...and that is done at the track.
I've seen Honda's beat Z-28's...because the Chevy driver had no clue how to launch his car....

drag strips and time slips...everything else is just make believe...

BTW...there are many ricers out there who claim their car is faster than our 69 Roadrunner 440-6pack...but that is because I wouldnt dare race them on the street...

Hell, I have an old pick-up truck that would pwn just about any street car if I bothered...

here's how I would show my first kill...

Me, left lane........Camaro right lane

I agree, though I've found it's impossible to change a street racer's mind when they feel it's their right to endanger themselves and others.

Does anyone know how the HHR SS/TC holds up to the Cobalt SS/SC - I have an 06 Cobalt SS/SC stage 2, I also have an 06 HHR with mods, but it still a slow wagon with a loud pipe. lol. Does the HHR SS/TC satnd a chance against the Cobalt SS/SC.

Has anyone seen 1/4 mile times yet? From a 5-speed, not the downtunned auto's...

street racing is legal and everyone does it include myself but i dont race every night or sat or whatever the day is. more and more people are being caught and busted for street racing and at the end of the day its not worth getting your car destory, getting a big @$$ fine or hurting someone else.
