Pretty cool for Toliver, at least he'll have (at least a shell of) a real car, not a flippin' toyota.
But this raises one q: I heard on multiple boards that the Rockstar deal was nothing more than their name on the side. I can assume because it went to DSR with Toliver it's a "real" deal, right?

That's a very positive thing that Rockstar is wanting to expand their presence in Drag Racing

I would think that based on Toliver's past sponsor experiences he would not be running their name on the side of the car if it was not a legit deal of some sort, and I'm sure the Don wouldn't either.

what vehicle mite you like that you would not deem an 'import'?
congratulations to DSR for partnering with 'mr. charisma'.
for all the negative sponsor news as of late, DSR has signed
for 2008......NAPA, Rockstar, Valvoline + renewals of MTS, Oakley, Mopar,
Army, + numerouse assoc. sponsors + Schumacher Elec. for PSB
(and i'm sure i'm missing a few)......impressive.
what's the word with cory mac?

Gee, my Mustang qualifies as an import I think... and the cobalts in p/s, the gto in p/s... my wife's HHR, my son's chevy mid size pick'em up truck, and toys and hondas are built here in the states... I'm corn-fussed... just what is an import???
Great to hear Jerry's at DSR now... heard they took the DENVER body and graphed a new front end and roof to it...

For the record, the Solara is built in Kentucky by real, live Americans. It was designed in California too.
Congrats to Jerry. Best of luck in '08.

I know a lot of supposed "import" cars are made in the US while a lot of domestic cars are made in Canada or Mexico. However, a lot of people don't realize one thing: they may be assembled here, but the money goes back to Japan.
I just refuse to buy any car that has an import nameplate.

Doesn't hold water Sam, how much GM stock does Issui own, Ford stock held by Mazda, and MoPar is now owned by Germans?
just thought I'd ask

when parts on your USA brand car are mfg.'red by lets say, mitsubishi; where do you think USA brand sends the check for those parts?
when toyota pays wages to a USA employee for assembling their vehicle.
where do you think toyota sends that check for those wages?
also, i think toyota in USA is non-union......know what that means?
it means they treat their employees very well.
mfg. is global sam. it's not about us or them; it's about all of us.

So you would prefer a Ford made in Mexico over a Toyota made in the USA??

The story I got from a pretty credible source had a funny twist on it.
I say kudos to RockStar for there support in Jerry.

At least in Mexico the money goes back to America.
But it's not just about build location. At least American cars have character, Toyotas and Hondas are boring as h*ll.
