I know they have that tech.[/b] JR, you just hit the nail on the head IMO. US cars went "off-track" when the emissions laws began going into effect. i felt like they did what they did as punishment. their fixes were just plain strange. i used to build ford small blocks for dirt track and street, and there was never a better year for American hardware than 1969. I used to hunt hru all the junk yards buying all the "right parts" unitl they finally disappeared entirely the only differnces between Japanese engineering and US auto engineering were that the Japanese had stricter controls on parts tolerances.. a well-balanced engine/drive train will last more than twice as long. the Japanese balanced thier factory engines much better than the US manuf. look at the japanese bikes that can turn 18,000 rpms or so i'm told, i have never opened one up like that... Nissan isn't known for quality, and i have owned a 300ZX and opened it up all the way many times... but that car had all kinds mechanical issues all the time. i liked working on it. it was better in it's time than comparable American cars, but that is ancient history now. there is no real difference between US and Japanese car quality anymore [/QB][/QUOTE]
