Early 90's USDM Japanese Muscle Cars

[ZEDEX32]

I owned 3 Zs (+ 1 I have now) and all I can say is that is the best car ever. Supra is not much different in numbers from Z but far more expensive.

numbers game the supras outweighs it.

300hp/320 tq on the supra. 300hp/286tq on the z. and the z runs 6 tenths faster stock in the quarter.

and as far as making hp supra, FTW. i owned a z32 myself and i do say they are comfortable cars. few problems if maintained properly. but not the most cost effective vehicle. especially if you own a tt.

but the z to me is a sexier looking car.

Mitsubishi 3000 GT or the Toyota Supra. Both are awesome.

[VooDooXII]

I haven't driven any of them...I don't know.

I loved them all...but I probably liked the 3000GT most of all.

Hey...how about the Subaru SVX? Haha

[Mr.MuayThai]

2jz FTW!!!

alot of cars blow way befoe a rotary will

[nreggie454]

Those aren't muscle cars.

Muscle car = V8, lots o' torque, meant to go in a straight line really fast

Those cars are nice, can be made to be really fast, but aren't muscle cars.

[OneSlow5pt0]

everyone of those cars would whoop a muscle car..and its just american muscle cars that are huge engines and heavy

That's what a muscle car is... True, japanese cars can be made to be as fast as most of them, but muscle cars win in the 1/4 overall. I autocross, so straight-line speed doesn't matter as much to me, so the cars in this thread are more favorable to me anyways. They just aren't muscle cars.

agreed,i belive a 69 yenko camaro would be most of these cars in 1/4

[The Green Monster]

Mk3 toyota supra turbo. Not an option but was made until 1992. (bitches)

actually it was stopped in 93


Hence why the mark 4 supra is called a 93.5 because they both came out the same year


Of course I picked the supra being a former supra owner...although I love the FD's look

[MistaCee]

Nsx is more like a supercar.. I would say Supra Twin turbo or the 3000gt

[TehHakingS14]

supra, i loove them 2jz's man

[GaGen2Teg]

THE 300zx because my brother had one and it was the ****

[da1708]

mx83 toyota cressida

[DieselNuts]

your title is flawed. None of these cars create the required amount of torque to be considered muscle...

[hellomynameiscarlos]

i love them all but i think i like the looks of the z the best

[VtakFluid]

NSX ftw.

[redpanda]

although not really considered a supercar, the nsx was and still is an amazing car. The car really does feel like it was designed for the track. People say it's too underpowered to be a supercar, but way it hugs the corners is crazy. My vote: NSX

[wanksta]

all except fd are muscle cars because they weigh more than a camaro lol

[Nissan Sean]

to be a muscle car it has to have torque, do the mazda is out, the supra and 300zx were japanese equivalents to muscle cars. i choose the Z. very sexy looking car, not as hyped up as the supra. very fast when modded. and in came in a vert option-which is awesome.

[HELLRAZOR]

Neither "Early 90's" nor "Japanese" go with the word muscle car....

DITTO on the above. My icon shows one of the ultimate muscle cars.

Sounds a lot like the Eurof@gs that are b*tching about how the GT-R isn't really a supercar because it's Japanese.

[OneSlow5pt0]

dont call the GTR a supercar,or the Z06,ZR1 or SRT-10

and a muscle car is a big car car,with big engine.......i mean just look at old muscle,and no mustangs and camaros are not muscle cars,thier sport coupes or pony cars.

true. Reps to whoever knows what Carroll Shelby called the original mustangs.

[HELLRAZOR]

I have to disagree somewhat....Camaros with big block motors have always been considered muscle cars by most if not all of the general public. Every older car that has only two doors is considered a "sport coupe"...to say that a BBC Camaro is NOT a muscle car would make many a classic bowtie owner get sideways.

I cant really speak for the camaro, but I know the original mustangs were not muscle cars. I think what he is saying is that the original concept of these cars were not to make them muscle cars, but I think they eventually turned into that after just a few years.

[OneSlow5pt0]

i drive a camaro,and i jsut would never consider them a muscle,some are close,just the boss mustang is close....but thier just not big anuff cars for me to say muscle car
