If the NSX doesn't qualify as a supercar based solely on its power, rather than its design brief and execution, then no Japanese car does as they're all making the same 280ps.

So what's your point? Yes believe it or not, Japan does not, nor ever has built a 'Super Car'.

But as we all know, Jap sports cars are/were built with so much more potential to unleash.

Japan's closest thing to a Super Car was the Nismo Z-tune without a doubt. But it's still not a Super Car, just like the 911 GT3 isn't either.

There are only a handful of cars in the world that truely qualify. Think Porsche Carrera GT, McClaren F1, Enzo, Ford GT40, Bugatti Veyron, Saleen, Pagani Zonda, Koenigsegg CCX etc etc... these are 'true' Super Cars.

Im glad you didnt include the F430 Ferrari. They are nothing more then golf buggies. My little Rb20 GTSt blew past one at Winton during the recent Dutton :domokun:

I should add the guy was a champion nad his first time ever on the track...so massive props. But, still felt good to gate an F430 around the outside of a slow 2nd gear corner in a lowly GTSt "_

DOES IT MATTER

DOES ANYTHING REALLY MATTER

What matters is people like us just exchanging our thoughts and opinions of why this and how that......

Lets face it gents.....until we can drive these machines....we can never be able to give a true opinion.

And as for my 10 top cars..I have driven 3...GTR,RX7 S8 and Dodge Viper...

BTW...I believe if you are driving a 11 or even 12 second car daily your doing pretty good..especially if your

set up for some mild track work as well.

Who, out of all of us, are not arm chair critics? I doubt any more than a handfull...

Hold on a minute there, can you explain why is it the 911 GT3 not a super car?

-driven by Walter Röhrl himself.

Which is directly related to this

"a capacity of 3.8-litres with two 30.3 millimetre air restrictors. With the mandatory air restrictors, the unit delivers 359kW/485bhp at 8,500rpm. Maximum torque increased to 435Nm. Top engine speed is reached at 9,000rpm."

Roy , drop the act. You give your right teste to have that horse...

Nope. My right ball will stay loyally between my legs. They do nothing for me. They sound like wet farts at idle, and not much better then a 4AGE Rola at noise. Plus they are far too pretentious. I would much rather take a 997 GT3, TT V8 Espirit, ZR1 Vette , TVR Sagaris etc etc

Your opinion, may or may not be my opinion.

So..to discuss this in full we would have all had to drive them..lol

Lock the thread..this is going nowhere fast....and I mean real fast

BTW...I need to see proof you drove all of the ten I mentioned

just saying you did means....whats that word I am looking for....ah...nothing...

aw man, youve just lost my respect... :domokun::w00t: :w00t:

the horse breeds some of the best automotive produce in existence... aside from this little spy scandal in F1 they have now...

no, mate i agree...

threads like this only breed ignorance and indifference.

Im IBTL.

i suppose you could say only those who have driven them need apply??

Hey, they may make great cars, one of my all time favs is the F40. Its jsut that some cars suit personalities etc. I aint kidding myself thinking that i would suit a Ferrari. Mk 1 Escrot Panel Van is probably more my hillbilly style :domokun:

Im glad you didnt include the F430 Ferrari. They are nothing more then golf buggies.

oh dear...sum of the shit that is being said in this thread...

an f430 a 'golf buggy'?? eeermmm, yeh ok... i think 'one of the best supercars/drivers cars' is a better description for the f430.

im sure uve seen this Top Gear review...but maybe u should refresh ur memory...

Kick me all you want. Something that good looking should never be overtaken a an R32 GTSt. Also, the "Prancing Horse". Fark me, name one manly thing that prances. My queer next door neighbour used to prance around his backyeard wearing his sisters underwear, so sorry i dont lend credence to anything describe as prancing :domokun:

...and i will add. An opinion is never wrong. Its an opinion, not a statement of fact :w00t:

:):worship:

ther is no opinion needed. the f430 is classed as a supercar. period.

and i cant belive u actually think that a gtst could take an f430 in a race.....hahahahahahahahahahaha, classic.

so ur gtst overtook some guy goin slow around a corner in his f430...hahahah, oh yeh...the gtst is obviously the better performance car, hahahahahahahahaha!

the fact that u are quite clearly homophobic is another issue.

Roy! wake up dude. Without judging the catchphrase and without being skyline biased, the 430 is ferraris modern day, every situation supercar. The 355 and 360 were superb cars and the 430 is better than both of them! I remember this time in 2004 when the national ferrari meet was on in Adelaide and one driver, a dentist, was kind enough to take me out to mallala and onto the track in his 360 F1. I was stunned by the noise, grip levels, stability under accel and braking as well as the way the car sat through the corners and it re defined for me the definition of the way a car should behave.

I have friends with very high performance cars but that experience was exceptional. The horse is bred for those conditions and for you to compare your car to it is kinda an insult mate...

im not sure if youve ever been in one, ive been in a few, 360, 512 and 348 and they set your hair on end...nothing homosexual about it.

cant say the same for your cross dressing neighbour... :):worship::)

i cant agree more, my friend works a JAG, and ive been lucky enought to sit in alot of ferrari and they werent even on and i still creamed in my pants.

the f430 is awsome car, but it doesnt sound that great on idle but once its on song its f**king awsome! my friend has been lucky enough to drive the f430 and he told me its unlike anything he has driven before (he said the DB9 was nothing compare to it)

Ferrari is what dreams are made of! i swap my left and right balls for one lol!

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
