350z is a high end sports car for the Japanese market. What is ridiculously better in the Japanese market? I wouldn't call these cars sport compacts.

+1 on the srt4... I live at a place with 3000ft DA regularly and I still pull them easily... not sure what this nonsense is about them being faster...

+1 also on this thread being ridiculous... anyone who is confused about why the 350z isn't considered a super car obviously has NO CLUE what a supercar even is...

I don't know about all of you, but to me the Z LOOKS like a supercar. I mean granted it's not but even after 5 yrs, Z's still get a lot of looks and people who aren't enthusiasts still wonder what kinda car it is. Maybe the front is a little conservative, but all in all to a lot of people it looks like a supercar. Slap on a turbo and body kit and you're good!

However, the NSX still consider a japanese supercar from then 'till now.
What I find funny is why any of those would be considered a supercar in Japan. Japanese people are lighter than us, so their cars go faster?

I think you have to be knocking on the 200mph door and cost over a 1/4 million to even think about being a Supercar.

AAAHahaha the XJ220 was such a ridiculous car.

I'm only driving a Z until my FXX comes from Italy.

Agree, but you DID show an Elise, so technically he's right And I would take an Exige S over many Supercars for fun value.

Not to start a vs. thread here but stock for stock the srt-4 should beat the Z in the 1/4 mile with equal drivers. Better hp to weight ratio and similar gearing. Granted it is fwd but by the end of the 1/4 it should pull ahead.

Btw the Z is not a supercar because it doesn't have the performance, looks, engineering, or quality of a supercar. Simple as that. It is a great bottom-mid end sports car.

A "Supercar" must have a pricetag in the top 5 percentile and Performance in the top 5 Percentile. It must also be a limited production run, making it exclusive to own.

= More Expensive and Higher Performance than 95% of the cars on the market and of a limited run.

That makes cars like the Viper, 911, Ford GT and Z06, "Borderline" Anything below those cares are not.
