The future of hot rodding

[GT40FIED]

So let's hear what you guys have to say. Obviously this is an import site but you're all aware of the auto industry and where it's headed no doubt. Who do you think will have the future of hot rodding locked down...domestics or imports? Please note that this is NOT an import vs. domestic thread save for the respect that I'm speaking of cars that will be factory made. I'm hoping you guys have a different take than me. I see a fairly domesticly dominated high performance market. Of course, most of the cool Japanese cars stay in Japan (like many type R models and cars like the Skylines) but with Ford's 390hp '03 Cobra and the upcoming 500+hp GT40 plus a 400hp Z06 it seems like imports are having a hard time keeping up. I've often been impressed with foreign car's technology (things like VTEC) but it seems like they've rested on their laurels these past few years. Hell, even Ford put out a concept for a 300hp 2.0L turbo'ed Focus. I'll be the first to admit that I'd love to see a factory turbo Accord or Civic but I just don't see it happening. And I'm sure no one wants to bring up the NSX....quite possibly the worst bang-for-the-buck car out there. 290hp for...what was it...close to $90K new? Those new WRX's are cool too but they have incredibly brittle axles that just aren't suited for any hi-po application. So what do you guys foresee? I'm really hoping I eat my words on this cuz I'd love to see some real import competition.
