Uhm... 300hp versus 500hp? They're not even at the same dance.

those cars are almost as fast and have equal if not better handling?

just because theyre four doors, turbocharged four cylinder, AWD rally inspired cars, doesnt mean they dont stand a chance against detroit muscles.

i know on a track they should be able to outhaul the camaro and challenger. the new mustang.. not too sure.

and no, its not a fan boy thing. im not really into the look of those cars and like those muscle cars myself.


similar price, performance cars from japan are those two.. that i can think of.
