R35...dope*

civilized_drifter

Anyone else notice his inability to make a thread worth a damn? Ill answer, as technology advances so does everything else around it. It's simple really, even a southern poverty redneck could answer it. The R35 is a bmf, but you wouldnt know it without someone informing you.

There are plenty of modern day sport coupes and sedans that look nice and out perform the 90s imports you listed. Wait two decades and they too will carry the same nostalgia as the vehicles you listed.

Well, this began poorly and will likely end REALLY WELL with lots of useful discussion...

out performs stock yes....same soul...no

rv_zenki

why not...? The FRS/BRZ is very similar to a 240sx. Light, 4 seat coup, underpowered, great handling. Whats not to like?

dizzariot

Don't waste your time. This kid is just trying to hike his post count up by posting bullshit threads. It's apparent he has no fucking logic to back his claims. Have you ever seen The Departed?

"Do you wanna be a cop or do you want to appear to be a cop?"

What do you mean by soul? How did 90s imports have "soul?" I think you're just feeling nostalgic.

The cars of the 90's are the obvious "Cars of the 60's" for the young generations today, this is why the value on many of the popular cars of the 90's are starting to soar in value.

Are there gonna be newer cars, with better technology and equipment? You betcha. Will it be the same? No.

I'll be the first fan boy to admit, I plan to enjoy these cars through my life time, I'm a die hard 90's fanboy. DIE HARD.

Don't feed the scene kids...

hey look everybody...

he made a 450x326 photo compilation of 6 cars - COOOOOOL! :-P

edit: is that an SVX? and whats that 3000GT doing there?!?! YUCK.

OBEEWON

I had my S14 up for sale and a cat offered me an SVX for trade. When I said no thanks he sent me a 4 paragraph PM on how great and rare the SVX was and how dumb I was for dismissing it. Which confused me as to why he wanted to trade it for my S14.

Some nutsack in a 3000GT couldn't wait and decided to make a left turn directly in front of me today, would've T-boned him if I didn't slam on the brakes. Stupid car, stupid owners.

Why are all the pics for the current cars crappy four door sedans? Your argument is invalid.

and their 2-1/2 decades they spend wrecking their economy by throwing good money after bad to recover the "losses" from those assets.

You are the type of person to whom the pinnacle of performance technology are a purple anodized HKS blow-off valve and an old dented ARC induction box.

I was a porter at my Infiniti dealership Pepe Infiniti ( which is the number one Inifinti dealership in the United States for 5 years and counting) for 3 years prior to being a customer care rep I've driven a diverse amount of cars and the 370z nismo was a great z trans shifts good suspension is stiff as hell as far as z's go it was a fun car to drive i doubt you've driven one saying they dont feel like Z's Ive driven Z32s and they are slow as shit even the twin turbo ones they handle like poop mainly because of the worn out 20 pluss year old bushings and tired VG's BRZ are seriously fun in the rain with a legit rear end 4 foor G37s six speeds are dope AF for a sporty sedans R35 well unless you've driven one you cant speak on it because i have and they are fucking amazing just hold the three R's down and hold on. by far the Q50s hybrid was a soulful car as far as newer cars go the thing is just a monster just kills that they dont have manual Infiniti cars as of 2014 just my 2 cents

My only gripe is that the 4-cylinder engine seemingly ran out of steam.

A 90's B-series or 4G would pull all day against a Lt1 or 4.sux.

Muscle cars, V8s and V6s just got good. 440-700hp V8s, +300hp is the norm for Moms V6 Camry...

Makes everything look weak by comparison. Evo is dead. STI is stagnant and the FRS with 200hp is a joke.

I'm tired of the BS Japanese "balance" logic. No one in America gives a shit.

TougeSR20Kid

IMO the main reason why the classic 90s cars are better than the new shit is they are easier to modify. You can typically mess with the motor without throwing a bunch of engine lights. You can physically work on the cars easier, they have more room and less shrouding in the engine bay, but in terms of performance you're just flat out wrong sorry.

The GTR alone invalidates your whole argument. Despite their move from my favorite motor of all time that sounded like pure sex to a v-6 that sounds so-so. That car looks good and performs like a monster.

I'm not gonna lie, 90's are all awesome and stuff, but that doesn't mean they are somehow endemic to "good jap cars". the same could be said of the 70's era of overhead cams being their strong point, and toyota and nissan coming out with their fist performance engines. what about the 80's? you got ae86's and all those ke corollas (albeit much more badass in japan), fc rx7, and all sorts of other cool stuff. for the 90's How often do you see most of the cars on the list? FD rx7's are pretty rare and expensive, and treally no car in the american market besides a few got anything good anyway, How are ka24e 240's the golden age of nissans? how is a d15?(don't know anything about hondas) powered civic the kaido racer of japan awesomeness? That 90's thing may have been moderately true for every other market, but I don't think it really applies to the US very strongly.

seriously though, they really screwed up on the fr-s. they really should have given it an I4, high hp or not. Thats why you see most "built" fr-s series cars being "built" primarily out of exterior and interior trinkets, rather than any kind of performance mod
