    the greatest spoerts car ever made by japan, boy thats a toughy..... I'd probably have to go for the Honda NSX though. it beat the ferraris of it's day hands down, and you can take nan to the shops in it, then go for a huge blast up the twisties. i dunno what it is about me and dual personality cars.....

    i think it is the RX-7, it's quick, it's fast, it handles, and it has a rotary. i also think the NSX comes in second or ties for first.

    Anyway, I can't really make up my mind right now. Actually, yes, I can. The Acura NSX.

    Well peronally i would think it would have to be the Datsun 240Z the best selling sports car of the 70s it could top 140mph and it was a fine handeler and still is a great car. The 96 bathurst Rx-7 would have to be one of the best cars they made.
    And the datsun 1000 S coupe while not ground breaking it is a fine handeler and won its class in our country in many races and is just plain cool

    id have to say the NSX would be the best, with a 3 way tie in second between the R32 GTR, original Z car (as falcon500 said) and series 6 RX-7

    I'm torn between modern technology and dewy eyed nostalgia....

    Older cars I would say the 2000 GT or 240 z. For something a little more modern the ZZ is very good, and so is the NSX-R. The GTR has also become an institution, and can't be left off the list either.

    i hope the r35 gtr will be ground breaking enough to beat the nsx-r or that hsc/hbc which is going to replace the nsx
