A kid that goes to my school has a big IMPORTED POWER sticker across his front winshield. It is a 95GSX, his car is a domestic, right?
Thanks

i agree with Mike i considered it an import because the most important part of the car the 4G63 motor is straight from japan.

I thought I read some where that the 7 bolts were made in america. Or mabey I'm just on crack
Perhaps this portion of my price sheet will be of assistance in answering this simple question. The car is American, the engine and transmission is Japanese. 70% vs 30%.Originally posted by Eclipsed
Is it mitsubishi? Yes. Is mitsubishi Japanese? Yes. If the car is mitsubishi it is also Janpanese. Therefore, import. Where do you people keep getting this wrong? It is import. PARTS are from JAPAN, which means they are imported.

It's domestic.
No Jaap would ever hide the tape deck behind the shifter, nor the controls for the fogs, mirrors, dash dimmer and cruise behind the steering wheel.

I agree. Even though my car has Mitsubishi written on, it's THE SAME EXACT car as the lasers and talons(mechanically of course). It's wierd how some would consider the PLYMOUTH(American brand) Laser and EAGLE(American brand) Talon domesticated vehicles even though they are the same exact thing as the Mitsubishi Eclipse.Originally posted by MyRidzPhucked
You cant really say that Mitsubishi would automatically make it an import, what about the lasers and talons? Eagle doesnt sound imported to me

Hell I race my car at the domestic race events and race in the Mopar class and the V8 guys get pissed at first. Eventually when they realize my car is fast enough to be in the class and I'm not walking around with the holier then thou attitude most honda kids have there isn't much problem after that.
It's funny to watch them though when you come back from a pass. Some guys are giving you thumbs up and shit cause they didn't know an "import" could go that fast .. I'm like, "HEY! IT'S DOMESTIC. MOPAR POWER BABY!"
I shit you not, I was sitting in the lane before my first pass and a guy with a 70 Chevelle comes up and asks if my car runs 16's with 3 of his buddies as they laugh. I ask him what car he's driving he points over to his chevelle with 13.8 writtin on the car and says it's the one thats 3 seconds faster then your car. I'm like oh yeah, thats cool. I ran 12.5 here yesterday and I'm hoping for a 12.4 or 12.3 (couldn't get it but oh well) and they kinda stop laughin and look at me funny. I was way ahead in the line and that pass I pull a 12.6 I believe and they are all watching of course. Then after my pass they pull back around and don't walk upto me then. Hmm. Wonder why? Generally most guys there are pretty cool tho.
