i think most people in malaysia are into american muscle just for the looks and sound of the cars... i mean. read the local top gear and there's a section where they interview local 'celebs'. most of em don't know much about cars, and they always put american muscle as their dream car.
they are not really car enthusiasts, they just like the whole retro look associated with it.
whereas in this forum, im guessing if you signed up and probably reading this, you probably know a lot more about cars and the pleasures of spirited driving
having said all that, ZR1 ftw!
