I was wondering if anyone knows what the general feeling of the 2005 Mustang is in Japan? Are the people aware of it? How sweet it would be to magically pull up in Tokyo this Fall in a Black supercharged '05...

TrueBlueCajun said:I think Japan has a hp cap on all stock cars there. I remember someone saying the '93.5 on up Supras were only 287hp coming off the factory line there. The export cars didn't have that hp cap.

The ones that are 'made' in North America are 'assembled' over here from Japanese made components. Whole engines and trannys are transported. Engines are installed into body that are assembled here, but the parts are made over there.Wylde said:They used to and the imports were complaining very loud. To fix the problem the AutoWorkers unions opted to have the cars build here instead to make jobs for US/Canadian people. So keep that in mind, most cars sonsidered imports are actually not imports at all. At least I know this to be true for most of the Asian based autos, maybe not so for European based ones.
