as far as barely getting out of it's own way, you seem to forget that most of the classic american muscle that seems to getting blindly followed so often were 15+ second cars in stock trim, just like an old stock supra. add a bunch of mods and magically fast happens, jsut like with an old supra. i am having trouble seeing the difference here.
american engines are not now and never were the only motor swaps going on. get used to it, it is getting more and more common.

you've got a definite chip on your shoulder. i didn't post the video to prove anything.
as far as the older cars being slow from the factory, this is true. you've still yet to counter my argument of swapping an engine as an UPGRADE. why go through all of the trouble to swap motors for the same timeslip? mod the new motor? mod the old motor - same difference.
obviously american motors are not the be-all-end-all, otherwise that's all that anyone would think to put in their car. sure, he gets points for daring-to-be-different, but that's all he's got. outside of that, the swap is silly, imo.
