I guess I'm one of the weird ones who just likes cars from all over the place. I've had American, Japanese, German, Italian and Canadian.

My S2000 is still my favorite though. Even thought the wifey thought I should sell it after getting the C2S - I can't just part with it.

 

Woo hoo!

Whats considered a Japanese Supercar though? Are we talking anything down to the S2ks/350Z/G35 or are we just staying in the NSX/GTR level?

 

lol... The S2000 is no supercar. Even a 500+RWHP S2000 because they become undriveable.

A stock NSX or Supra IMO isn't a supercar either. I'm sure I'll get flamed for that but what they hey...

Part of what I love so much about the S2000 is going faster than other much faster cars at the track though. Something very delicious about that.

Right now the only somewhat mass produced Japanese supercar is the GT-R.

 

The S2000 is one of my favorite cars of all time because of its track performance and weight. I am just curious because I have two Japanese cars that could beat up on most any "supercar" but they didn't come stock as "supercars." I would like to start threads on them, but not if thats not what this forum is going after.

 

If this particular forum is limited to just supercars - it will be pretty dull until the next generation NSX, Supra etc... come out.

IS-F is cool - but no supercar.

Post away! 400-500awhp Evos and STi's can be really fast in a straight line and at the track.

 

Under the forum it descibes an RX-7 as one of the examples so if that is ok then my cars are ok lol.

 

I'm in agreement there aren't many Japanese supercars but this is a Porsche site. Only the Carerra is a supercar. The others are sport cars.
This means the Heading of this section shouldn't have been labeled "supercar" in the first place.
My Lexus cars are definitely not supercars but it would seem appropriate to discuss them in this section occasionally. Even better, NSX's and Supra's would definitely seem appropriate imo. But we can't talk about them eclusively cause things would become boring. Those cars have other sites for exclusive posting. So let's not get into a pissing contest over whats good or not good to post. The S2000 is definitely a sports car. Sounds okay to me to discuss. If it's modded, I wanna see lot's of pics.

 

The Japanese never really had what could quantifiably defined as a "supercar" (the Nissan R390 potentially being an honorable exception), for no other reason than their gentleman agreement of not making a vehicle with more than 280hp which was in place till recently.

The NSX, Supra, RX-7, R32-R34 GTR et.al. however were built with supercar humbling foundations... they all just need a few (cheap) modifications thrown at them to get (well) beyond the 280hp limit that restrained them.

 

Thanks for the Japanese section!

gone


the new

 

I also agree that there aren't many japanese "supercars" per say. The new GTR can probably be put in that category. However, I definitely enjoy S2Ks, Evos, STi's, and the likes as they are just fun cars and can be deceptively quick. Someone wanted pics, so here's a pic of mine: By far, no supercar, but I still enjoy it.

 

here's my s2000



i think s2000's should be added to the list here (or rx7's taken down)

 

Thank you very much admins / mods!!

 

Nice garage :P
