I still don't know what you mean by "who am I".
I am a college student from Louisiana. I enjoy sports cars in general. I can't own them all obviously.

I get tired of domestic owners calling the imports slow. Hell, there is an NA S2K rolling around these forums running mid 13's@105 on a babied 60'. NA with minor mods.
I also get tired of import owners calling domestics "unreliable". I have seen on just PAGE ONE! of this forums "under the hood" section all about blown trannies, engine fires, tapping valves, ect. Where as my friend's 98 A4 tranny Z28 just ripped off a 13.3@105 with 113K miles on it and no tune-up and ran great until he killed it on the spray...running low 10's. PLENTY! of LS1 owners JUST DID! a cam swap at 120K miles...how did it turn out? One guy has 140K on his cam-swap now and is just fine.
I think both groups are full of crap sometimes.
me? I just like most tasteful sports cars that have something unique to offer.

THX. I just like sports cars and am pretty honest about their strong and weak points. The S2K? It doesnt have enough tq to do shit. My WS6? The solid rear axle isnt worth a damn on uneven pavement. I just call it like I see it. HOWEVER!

5.0's take a lot to actually make them as mean as people make them out to be. AFR heads, cam, FULL bolt-ons RARELY! net over 320ish rwhp in a daily driveable platform. I.e. the same whp you would get if you added a lid and cat-back to an otherwise stock 98 camaro.
