right then

for me there are two. two jap cars i would have anyday. they are

the Nissan Skyline R33, and Mazda's (they japanese right?) RX-7 --oh yeah and the NSX!

R33 is the best of the skyline bunch, its the hardest looking car out of them all, looks like its about smash your face in with raw power. and because of japs laws about power output these things are over engineered for the power they make. they are bullet proof, you can tune the crap out of them, and ive read a story about a guy who drove his skyline for a couple of hundred miles with pretty much zero oil.

RX-7, has to be the most beautiful asian car ever. stunning to look at, goes like hot sh!t off a shovel, and rare as rocking horse sh!t. i saw a silver one tonight....my second ever sighting in my entire life. it just makes you gawp while you can still see it. amazing car.

how could i forget the NSX! theres a guy that has one on my street...in red...very pretty

what are yours?

NSX is gorgeous =)

I must be a fanboy and say 3000gt, the 99 style. God, sexy.

I just thought I'd pop into this thread and profess my dislike of Elements. God they suck.

I thought the Silvia was souped up 240sx?

The Silvias in Japan are essentially 240sx's in America. But the Silvias in Japan had the SR20DET engine, a 2.0L turbo engine while we got the KA24DE, a 2.4L truck engine. We got every single Silvia except the S15.

yep... Acura Legend.... COUPE
and Supra

last 4 yrs i dont see any more pristine Legend coupes... the only ones I see are the ones the Asians got rid of, picked up by the 'hiphop' crowd that can't afford a SUV, and put some tacky dubs on them... i don't mind dubs, but why they do not fail to pick the most cheesy loud and tacky ones, chromed of course... instead of something smooth, more classy, more subtle, sophisticated, timeless... or just racey sporty performance oriented... I have no idea...

Otis, there are plenty of RX's around the UK if you know where to look ;)

The List has to be:

NSX
RX7
R34
22B

I've always liked Supra's, but they don't quite make my list.
