When we ran our Import Killer headline last year, we got a bunch of letters from import guys calling us out for comparing a blown engine to some of the overhead-camshaft techno wonders that make the magic number of 100 hp per liter of displacement naturally aspirated. Well, we don't care how bad-ass some dude's naturally aspirated Honda S2000 motor is; if you go up against 900-plus pushrod ponies and 750 pounds of earth-shaking torque with a wrong-wheel-drive econobox, you're gonna get a fast and furious old-school ass-whipping.
