Now this is a car.

My dad used to have one, it wasn't turbo if I remember correctly. But it was a manual 2 seater version. The 2 seater is nicer than the 2+2 one.

Youe dad had the wrong car...

Datsun (s30-z) 240Z

THAT is the origin, and the pinnacle of the Z-car

Special and price don't have a lot in common. They look a lot faster than they actually are, and they look like they'd go round corners better than they actually do. So they can charge a premium for it - especially as people continue to pay it.

I wouldn't describe 0-60 in 4.6 seconds and a top speed the far side of 180mph slow, in fact for a 300bhp 1500kg car I think they're very impressive

Quote from e2mustang :

if supras werent anything special they would not cost so much money,and dont tell me a modified supra isnt a supercar these days

You can stick a V8 in an Audi and it's still an Audi

Performance is only one of the criteria for a supercar and no supercar can have a bodykit or massive wheels (which rules out most modified Supras). It needs to be stylish, impractical and sound gorgeous with far more cylinders than it needs.

i think supras and nsx's are in the same league... supercars

Sure it is the closest to a FZ50, but it looks like crap.

Where is the puking smily?

i would like to have a fz50 irl... so much power....

A modified one is certainly not a supercar, but a bloated cruise machine, with a poorly tuned engine (mostly), heavy unaerodynamic bodykit, silly interior upgrades to weigh it down, idiot owner/drivers (generally - they must be to modify it)...

Of course, just my opinion.

sure every1 has its own POV,i think they are still badass cars,even when they came out they were badass,in the 90's,+when u tune it up..man i love it.yes i dont like either ricer cars,but i love when a car is stylish,and looks good+goes good

You just said it.. modified supras sound gorgeous,most of them stylish(and a lot is ricer ) audis do it too,get a regular A4,put a big v8=s4 and they are badass too.
of course im talking about the everyday driven supercars teh streetfighters

Theese guys sell FZ50 lookalikes

How about this? Although the front lights are different the overall shape is not far off.

The price is surprisingly low for such a mileage

Well the engine is probably screwed
