this is a straight up import vs muscle fight in here........ both good in my opinion but i KNOW v8s are way cheaper to make fast. ive invested about 5000$ into a buick 455 and its pushing well into the 600 hp range ( not at the wheels..... havnt gotten to the point were i could find out yet) and my freinds celica..... hes spent over 10$ in engine mods alone! and only has a 13 second car and in my opinont thats not very good for how much has been spent! its quick dont get me wrong but its damned costly. i also have a 88 trans am that is completly stock exept for headers and a differnt rear end its running 13.9s its not that fast but the whole car and parts only cost about 6000$ and i could cam it and see some much lower numbers. not sure what the buicks gunna run yet due to lack of time to finish up some loose ends ( like a new 4 speed...... minor detial) but i know this thing will move, i really plan on making it more of a show car though and take it to the strip about once or twice a year.
i also have a freind whos got a supra that just eats almost anything up out there that he has spent over 40,000$ on, its fast and looks cool and he always has a differnt hot girlfreind in the passenger seat but i cant see my self spening that much money on it, still would kill for that car though!
