However, the NSX still consider a japanese supercar from then 'till now.
This is because for their time, they were the fastest production Japanese cars. Simple answer.

I would say the age of the Japanese Supercar is dead. They were super when the R32 GTR was smoking Ferrari's, Porsche's and the like around circuits and such, but since Japan limits the horspower output of it's cars, they fell behind as the rest of the world kept piling on the power.

God, people that make these kind of statements are retarded. So, you spend $5k+ on a turbo kit, tac on the install price and supporting mods. Now, take the money you just spent there and put it in the SRT-4... sure it won't get any traction, but it will smoke your *** up top.

This is why those statements suck.

didnt the japanese automakers finally get rid of that "agreement"? i read somewhere.... hmm... not sure maybe car and driver or one of those mags like a year ago. cuz if the new gt-r has 286bhp then its gonna suck! but it is also known that many of the cars had 286 on PAPER, but when people dynoed r34 gtrs they would have much more power stock...

performance:
handling:
srt with big turbo, stage 3, nos, bolt ons etc etc = super car or 350 with fi killer.

To all the fanboys,

The SRT-4 is slightly faster, GET OVER IT.

The 350z is 100 times better anyhow...

Who cares if an econobox is slightly faster than the Z?

The Z looks a ton better, handles better, and best of all, gets more "respect" if that matters to you.

Ask an SRT-4 driver which one of the 2 cars he would choose if he had the money, and I assure you the majority would have chosen the 350z.

Be happy with what you have.

Back to the subject. Here's supercar for you. Probably the cheapest there is: C6 Z06
