Why get OEM spark plugs ? Get NGK BRP 7's for what $12 each?

I was driving my 450rwtq WS6 around today. I have a built auto with a 3200 stall and have 315/35 555R's out back on 11" rims. Needless to say I wish my MR could come outta the whole like my TA! Then again, I raced my friends stock WS6 in the rain, and whooped his a$$ with my MR. I want to sell my TA since I really don't get much time in it, but then I start it up and hear the cam idling through the headers/borla exhaust and want to keep it. I guess it just is what you are used to. Most of the young guys with the imports never had muscle cars, so they think of the imports as muscle to them. Technically they are Japanese muscle cars, it even says so in project gotham 2!

I just think if there is one car I'd get slightly used next spring over a used V/// it'd be a Charger R/T, I bet the ride is better, def not the handling... it's BIG, not a fan of big cars but what muscle cars are traditionally small, this would be a chance for me to own the muscle car of my own generation, I love both though... very much so the EVO, maybe this is a phase.

I can vouch for both sides. I raced my buddy with w 480hp evo twice last night. from a stop I won by a car length and a 35roll, i got like 2 1/2 cars on him but after we got back, he took me out for a ride. (Im a salesmen for mistu so ive driven plenty of stock evos) lets just say I was VERY impressed that at 160mph.. it was extremely stable and held the road as if we were doing 55. They are def awsome cars. always going to be a hp war.

I come from a V-8 muscle car background my Evo was the first import car I have owned.
At 16 I was rebuilding a small block 327 for my truck. I still love the sound of a cammed/stoked Chevy small block. But have gotten use to the sweet sound of turbo spool now.
Cars have owned
Pro street Nova Built of course
Reg Nova SS with 350
69 C-10 with 327 Vett motor tranny and 4:11 posi
Have many friends with Camaro's/Firebirds and most still have them and they all have given props where it is due to all the things the Evo does well compard to there straight line performance there cars have.
