To me, the 1990 300zx twin turbo changed the Japanese sports car for the 90s. It brought out the Supra, the 3000GT VR-4, & RX8.


If I had the scratch, I'd love to have a Toyota 2000 GT.

Yeah, eBay is listing the mid 80s 300zx in legit condition for on average $4500-$6000.

Was thinking about getting one, at 16 it was a car I really wanted.

Honorable mention I'd say 1991 Acura nsx



And the Pantera

I loved those Panteras back then. A friend who was in a band had one.

Talk about a car that has jumped in price since the 90s..loved the body style too. Wish some more cars today would take inspiration from it.

I was cruisin' in my Stingray late one night
When an XKE pulled up on the right
He rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag
And challenged me then and there to a drag
I said, "You're on, buddy, my mill's runnin' fine
Let's come off the line now, at Sunset and Vine
But I'll throw you one better if you've got the nerve
Let's race all the way
To Dead Man's Curve"


In northern Bossier Parish, a sharp curve on Louisiana 157 (Hickory Drive), just inside the city limits of Plain Dealing, south of the town cemetery.

I´ve looked at a few. Beat up/run ragged, and outrageous prices.

Saw one the other day that had the old LeMans type teardrop shape behind the driver. Car looked in much less than pristine shape, but the driver had a shite eating grin on his face.

I have a 92 3000gt has held up pretty well and looks good. Fun to drive. Most people don't know what they are looking at but when someone knows it's a cool moment

That is a sweet ride. I've never heard of those. I wonder if Datsun's 240Z was in direct response to this car? I honestly thought it was an old Jag at first glance.

I´d venture to guess it´s quite more expensive, as it´s surely quite rare.

What do you know about them? Do they have the famous Japanese clutch (no feel, you get to a point, and it shifts), how do they handle, power?, aspiration?, is that top hidden light the long light?, what´s the seating made of, how is it shaped, comfort, noise level, dashboard, legibility of dashboard...

1970 Lada from the Soviet Union



It can go from 0 to 60 kilometers per hour in 27.4 seconds, and gets 13.4 kilometers per pound of communist manure.

Wasn´t the Lada Yugoslavian?
