You should have seen the Mustang forums back in the mid/late 90's when I 1st joined them, they have matured much since then. Most Mustang performance enthusiasts are into drag racing because that is what their car's are best at. Starting with the 5.0, "late model" Mustangs have been powerful with only adequate brakes and suspensions, thus it was cheaper to just go fast straight. A Yaris is blesses with no power and no weight, thus it's cheaper to go left/right quickly.

thecorral.net has a pretty large twisty contingent. Not sure about the S197 groups focus, but there is a lot of info out there if you ask.

Very little bashing of other cars, no Nascar booger-eaters, and a much larger overall knowledge base makes for some good websites...

Well Daimler Chrysler is German American or American German. It was the merger of an American company and German so its both as Chrysler infused American and German engineering in its cars mostly with the Chrysler part but I don't know how much content is in the Dodge division that is German per say.

Of course now Diamler has sold off Chrysler so now its just good ol' American. Of course with today's global market its hard to tell what is "import," and what is "domestic" as parts or platforms or whatever is interchanged. Sorry to get off topic.

at the time the SRT-4 was being made Diamler-Chrysler AG was a German company....
Hell, there are more Toyota Camery's or Honda Civic's made in the US than there are Ford F-150's
