It's mostly the Mustang owners and a lot of Camaro owners. Pretty much any domestic V8 owner, in general. I'm a yankee transplanted down to Mississippi, and i work at a muffler shop in Canton, MS, home of the Nissan plant in MS, and the guy i work with is a little ignorant about that stuff, as well. He's always giving me shit about my imports. He recently had his vortec motor out of his 98 Chevy truck rebuilt by his instructor buddy at the local college, and he could barely keep ahead of me in my tired, worn out 88 Honda Prelude, which is an automatic and lightly modified. I've never touched the internals, save a head job from a broken timing belt, and it's clocked almost 200,000 miles on the odometer. His buddy is the shit at rebuilding engines, but i think there's a little to be said about a worn out little "jap trap" as he calls it, that can hold it's own against his redneckmobile.
