set up an even playing field with HP/weight and see who gets mashed. Imports or Domestics
if all else is equal (mainly TQ and HP), leaving suspension and driver as the 2 key factors on a course, your domestics get smoked.

Read the two stories on this page:
http://www.seanhylandmotorsport.com/
The number 52 Mustang Daytona win in the Grand Sport Two series (by almost a full lap.......can't tell me power and torque doesn't matter on the high banks)..........here is the series webpage. PLEASE NOTE THE 2002 championship was won by a MUSTANG vs BMW's 350Z's etc.

Here is the Targa Competition page:
Please read the rules carefully for Touring class and Targa class as in the touring it specificaly states that competition isn't about how POWERFUL the car is but precision driving. The targa class is all about POWER and TORQUE...........notice the Mustang finished 2nd EVEN WITH AN ILL DRIVER AND A BAD TANK OF GAS. This is as close to the streeet as it gets.....and should scar you if have no clue about how domestics handle....especially the Mustang.
