Default What´s your choice, a Japanese Sports or American Muscle??

Japanese cars are each day more popular in USA and Europe. So what´s your choice, and what car is your prefered.

My choice is a Nissan Skyline GTR R34. What a beauty V6 engine, still more with 2 HKS turbos, and more than 1000 horses on the ground. I thinks it´s the better to upgrade and the most beauty and cool.

I'd take an R34 GTR, EVO or NSX-R.

Though I do like the Z06 quite a bit also

preffer a German car. BMW M5.. But choice between Amarican and Japan.. I have to say Japan made cars.. Coz they are more reliable.. and can go up to 1000 HP with lot less money then Amarican cars..
Evo and the Skyline R34 would be my choicess.

if i had enough money i would of course get the Z06. if not i would get the Evo or the STi. japanese or american doesn't matter so much to me as long as i enjoy the car and get my money's worth.

I'll take a japanese sports car without much thinking
not saying that American muscles aren't as good
just that it's my personal preference only 8)

These are very ignorant statements you are making. Cheaper to make 1000 HP? its been proven that American V-8s are the cheapest engines to mod and make power, and more reliable? Did you not see the top most reliable manufactures list? GM was at number 5 i believe, RC-45 can back me up on this. And to the guy that said Lightweight sports car, the Z06 weighs in at a heavy 3125 lbs (RC45 make sure im exact on that for me, we dont wanna have to argue KGs here) and runs a 7.56 at the ring, with stock tires, stock suspension, and a rookie driver.
