Late on Saturday nights, groups of outlaws gather on deserted back roads to have a little high-speed fun. They are there for one reason only: drag racing. Not too long ago this type of gathering was reserved for the V8 driving speed freaks that felt the need for speed; but now all types of cars gather to get their daily dose of adrenaline, and to possibly make a little money. The cars are usually divided into two groups. The first group features the traditional racecars, their huge and powerful engines, include the Ford Mustangs and Chevrolet Camaros. The second group consists of the underdogs, small import sport cars like Honda Civics and Acura Integra’s, with seemingly puny engines. A couple of years ago import cars would have been laughed off the street by the domestic drivers.

Although domestic cars have more horsepower, import cars create more horsepower per liter from a 1.8-liter engine. A Ford Mustang GT produces much less than 300 horsepower from a 4.6-liter engine. When comparing the horsepower per liter statistics, the imports have a clear advantage.
Although imports cost more from the dealerships, they often save the buyers money in the long run because of the great dissidence in fuel economy. Import cars have much better gas mileage when compared to domestics and this pays off as time progresses. And with the constant changes in gas prices who know how much you can save.
Another large variance between the two groups of cars is the price for the car and aftermarket parts. Since import racing is in its infancy, there is still a lot of new technology and manufacturing proc
