| 92_WhItE_H23 |
| im inclined to vote supra because of their power and i love how aggressive they look. but, because of the awsome all around design of the NSX i had to vote NSX. i just wish they came with a little more power. |

Everyone will vote supra because of the power potential.
The rx7 is by far the sexiest and timeless designed car ever to come out of Japan.
The 300zx is probably the most underrated car on the list. Huge power potential, looks good and is very comfortable. The only thing is its kind of classifed as a old mans fast car because of the money it cost brand new. Still one of my personal favorites.
The skyline is fast and again huge power potential but the weight kills it everytime. They are definitely the ugliest out of the list of cars (just my opinion just like I think my bulldog is cute). They can be made to handle if one spent enough money on the suspension.
The NSX is probably the most overrated japanese super car there was. For the price one could of picked up a 911 tt and smoked its ass. The car does look the most exotic out of the bunch but it being so underpowered doesn't even compare to the others on the list. Modifications are very expensive.
Again these are my opinions and I don't give a shit if anyone flames me.

| i agree somewhat with what crazy said, however, the NSX is a far superior track car then the RX-7. its lightweight, and its handling outperforms the RX-7. the rx-7 has it beat in the power potential however and i will heavily weigh in the rx-7's favor for that category. the looks is merely a matter of opinion so no point in stating my opinion on that. i like the look of the nsx i also love the look of the rx-7 =D |

FD (obviously).
Mainly because for me, it's the sexiest, lightest, most 'unique' of them. They've been super reliable for me, and they are still super rare. (People still come up to me and say, uhhh, what's that?).
And of course, rounded doors. I don't know of any sub $100K car that has rounded doors (and the door latches). Actually, too much cool little stuff on them :)
(Trust me, if you own one, you will become an addict, that's why you see so many fanboys for FD's...)
Also, touge (sp?), nothing touches a FD (especially the RE one..). You never see Supra's/3000GT's/MR2/300ZX do well because it's 'true' world supercar driving. And the FD is the king of the Touge! :) Skylines are competitive.
(My opinions of course...) |

If it was any of the 90s cars. Well quite honestly it would be a bit of a tossup between an NSX-R and R34 GT-R for me. Supras and RX7s are great and all, but I'm not sure I would put them in the same area stock for stock. A Spirit R maybe, but that's not 90s.
Even still though, would we be factoring in details of actually owning the vehicles? Because I sure as hell wouldn't want to work on an NSX. hehe |

the 300zx seems to be the most underrated car in the group.

I am just talking about bank for your buck. The NSX was and is so expensive compared to other cars that its unattainable for most. Think about how much better a car like the fd, supra and 300zx tt would be if one bought one and modded it to the same price as a stock NSX (I'm talking new for new prices not used). Thats what I meant for it being over rated. I have nothing against the NSX; its a beautiful car but it needs a supercharger. If I had that kind of money I would of picked up that silver NSX on the westend that was supercharged.

It's not what any of the track #'s say. And of all the vids from Japan I've seen, it's been the FD winning 75% of the time over the NSX and the NSX have never 'eaten' a FD on the track.
Also, if you look at Touges, FD's EAT NSX's alive. And if you count the RE Amenya (sp) FD, it destroys all comers (NSX's don't even compete). But those are highly modified cars.
No offense to NSX's, but for the money, they're not 'worth' it. I'd rather get a Supra, or 3 FD's :) |

Skylines are cool. But there's an even 'better' car for our market, the Pulsar GTiR. Basically it's a Skyline GTR, but it's less hideous and it's RHD drawback is almost nil.
(You can't really call a hunchback for being ugly, it's their nature...)
Also, Skylines are not fair. :) (Too much power, too cheap, AWD, reliable, boosted, jeez, give me a break). For the money, it's hands down the champ. |

As far as I'm concerned these cars from Japan are considered super cars. They were the cream of the crop when they came out and were always compared to Ferraris of their time. A lot of the time the Japanese cars came out on top.
So in your argument the Ford GT is a supercar? I don't; its just a ford to me just like you don't think that any Honda, Mazda, Toyota, Nissan etc from japan should be called that. What makes a certain car a "supercar"? Back in those days those "japanese supercars" dominated a lot of the records.

Some cars were built to be supercars....... others have a potential.
All of those Japanese platforms were built with a purpose. It was not to compete with supercars.
The only one built with the intention to compete with the supercars was the NSX.
The rest could be compared but were not supercars. :blink:
A ford gt is a supercar. I am amazed that is even questioned? |

I dunno... made mostly of aluminum (some wow factor there), mid-engine, exotic stlying.
And in '91 its performance was considered pretty good. For example, it probably gave a Ferrari 348 a run for its money. (I'm talking on a track, not just a straight-line 0-60, 1/4 mile adolescent pissing match, although it probably held its own there too).
Honda's only fault was not significantly updating the car throughout its run. But for the first few years at least, the NSX had few true peers. |

Aluminium chassis, body and suspension (first ever for a production car)
Mid-engine
Lightweight
Styling
First production car to use variable valve technology
First production car to use 4-channel ABS
The fact that it could keep up with all the "supercars" of the era, save the F1.
Out of the box, none of them are supercars, really. That's where it's defined. No EVO is a supercar, no 300Z is a supercar, no NSX is really a supercar.
Supercars are cars that are far above the average performance benchmark from the factory. Aftermarket tuning doesn't count. |

1st I cant really argue looks as they are subjective. :)
But saying they are "heavy" is not fair to say. Weighing in at 3200 lbs doesnt make it a heavyweight by any stretch of the imagination.
And the handling, IF ANYTHING its the best handling car in the selection!
I dont remember ever seeing a RX7 hold a lap title at the 'Ring. Never heard anything but negative things about them and their weak engines. Hardly a "supercar" but a nice looking Sportscar.
300zx as a "supercar"? Thats silly. Again another Sportscar. Even Nissan didnt think of them in the supercar club. If it was then they wouldnt need to build the GTR.
Supras are very attractive and are capable of the high HP numbers just like the GTR. I would still buy one of the 93+ years. The earlier ones are kinda "un-supra-y" Definately Toyotas entry into the Supercar world.
I just wanted to put my two cents in to stop the kids from reading this and taking it as gospel thinking that GTRs are heavy and cant handle. Because in all honesty, that couldnt be farther from the truth.
Definately the best handling car i have ever driven personally, is my GTR. The car seems to know what i want to do instinctively. I think it, it does it. Unreal.
Realistally the only two Supercars mentioned are the GTR and the Supra. The other cars are not even in the same league.
But its all good and we are all entitled to our opinions. :thumbup: |

The motor is only weak to the unknowledgable and stupid. Just because you hear of tons of douche bags blowing their shit up doesn't mean everyone does. I've had 3 rx7's and im building my 4th right now. I've never blown one up, i've ran them lean as hell 13.5:1, i've driven them like they've been stolen and they've all ran mint without even a hickup. I have also had the motors go past 232,000 kms.
If you want go by what your saying about weak engines, i've actually heard of more skylines needing more rebuilds then anything lately.:rolleyes: |

Thats truly fantastic for you. Seriously! Im not being a dick! Hard to sound genuine through text.
Honestly, you are the first person i have "talked" to that has had a positive experience with these engines. there wouldnt be the stigma of "boost in = apex seals out" if they were reliable engines now would there. I didnt mean to stir the shit pot with my post, its just my opinion. The RX7 is a nice looking car and my opinion takes nothing away from it.
But to say the RB26DETT engine is "weak" because the high miler imported junk coming into Canada is being run into the ground by children is assinine. Orrr the engines that someone takes for a weekend joyride and kills it. :dunno: |

Thats fair. I agree with you there the R34 GTR is a machine. Probably the closest supercar from Japan in terms of specs.

But saying they are "heavy" is not fair to say. Weighing in at 3200 lbs doesnt make it a heavyweight by any stretch of the imagination.
And the handling, IF ANYTHING its the best handling car in the selection!
I dont remember ever seeing a RX7 hold a lap title at the 'Ring. Never heard anything but negative things about them and their weak engines. Hardly a "supercar" but a nice looking Sportscar.
300zx as a "supercar"? Thats silly. Again another Sportscar. Even Nissan didnt think of them in the supercar club. If it was then they wouldnt need to build the GTR.
Supras are very attractive and are capable of the high HP numbers just like the GTR. I would still buy one of the 93+ years. The earlier ones are kinda "un-supra-y" Definately Toyotas entry into the Supercar world.
I just wanted to put my two cents in to stop the kids from reading this and taking it as gospel thinking that GTRs are heavy and cant handle. Because in all honesty, that couldnt be farther from the truth.
Definately the best handling car i have ever driven personally, is my GTR. The car seems to know what i want to do instinctively. I think it, it does it. Unreal.
Realistally the only two Supercars mentioned are the GTR and the Supra. The other cars are not even in the same league.
But its all good and we are all entitled to our opinions. :thumbup:
The skyline is the only one on this list that is all wheel drive. Run a road course with the all wheel drive and then run the same on with your fuse pulled and running rwd. You will notice the weight. The only saving grace is the awd.
Weak engines on the rotary are due to mechanics not having the proper knowledge on how to work on these cars. My car puts down 402rwhp and weighs 2800lbs; you do the math. There are plenty of 13b motors putting down in excess of 500rwhp and up. There even hitting over 700+rwhp. You will need a supra or gtr with over 1000hp to keep up with that.
If the skylines are so indistuctable then why did you blow your motor? I know I read your thread on how someone else drove your car and blew it up. But if it was indestructable the why did it blow? I also read on the gtr forums that your motors at 100000km are due for rebuilds. That makes the rotary look indestructable.
Again not trying to be a dick just my opinion and info I have read in the past.

It hurts when someone bashes the car you drive doesn't it? The rotary has been shit on for so long that I don't even car what people say about them anymore.
BTW I never said that I voted for the FD in the poll. Maybe I did or maybe I didn't.

Well, at least your car isn't sitting at the very bottom of the poll results. |

I think the reason for that is because there is so much jdm junk out there.
