some people call NSX a "japanese ferrari"
the top 3 from japan: GTR, NSX, SUPRA
they are the top end sport cars
but just for the past, the productions have ended already

High end sports cars? Please. Not even close to "high-end". Mid to bottom end more like.

uhhh somebody let me trade in my Z for an NSX puh puh please?

are you serious? the 350 is NOT a supercar by any definition of the word. this thread doesnt even make sense.


one reason those cars were so highly regarded back then is because they were expensive at the time for one and they were fast and good looking. The resurgence of HP wars since even 2000 have just been astounding its like the late 60's all over again but it's lasting even longer since we have no gas crisis(yet) and people are willing to spend the $$. Performance has become very mainstream.

I think for a car to be considered a "supercar" it has to atleast be the makers flagship. The Z isnt Nissan's premier car.

It's a super car. Just not a supercar!

1000 lbs too heavy and 100 hp/torque too little.

Looks-wise it's up there

why did you leave out the honda s2000 man. that's definatley a supercar to boot. all that vtec power in a drop top with a nimble chassis and suspension. and with a turbo......could smoke any ME four twelve 7 days a week and still have great gas mileage.

dang man....i never think a Z is a supercar, I'm talking about back then and the term "Japanese Supercar" is not as high as "Supercar". What i think is more like....since those car are the highest performance model and cost the more $$ than average car (brand new price) so shouldn't it be like some what supercar for Japan?

Don't compared Euro car here, i'm only talking about Jap car.....

just something fun for me to think about....
