  1. Speed has about 50% to do with power and 50% to do with weight and gearing. The 300ZX is more of a sporty luxo cruiser, sort of like the Mitsubishi 3000GT or the Toyota Soarer/Lexus SC400. They are very heavy cars, weighing in at over 1500kg! I am most certainly not saying that they are slow, just that you're better off getting something like an Evo, a WRX STi, an RX-7 or even a Starion GSR as they are in the same region as far as power goes (except for the Starion which has 230hp) jut a whole lot lighter.


  2. The 300 ZX TT is probably one of the slower Japanese 'Super Cars' of the 90s. It was right behind the Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR 4 in terms of weight.

    The RX-7 was light...making up for its lack of horsepower and torque, yet still faster than the 300ZX TT.

    The Supra TT was/is still king of the Japanese 'Super Cars' that they brought over Stateside. Some would argue the NSX, since it was considered a Japanese 'Exotic'.

  3. i think the toyota supra is the best Japanese car out there and its also preety fast and faster then the 300zx.

    I got a 300zx and i love that car

    its fast and looks nice

  4. It's the Acura NSX. I have raced Ferraris in that car.

  5. Toyota Soare is always competitor for 300zx,  1991-2000, Called Lexus SC   2500cc twin turbo 280ps

  6. RX-7s only made 255hp in the US - 276 is what they made in Japan in later years after importation was ceased

    300ZX TTs  are extremely fast and to me would be the best bargain for the price

    Acura NSX are one of the more unique cars on the road with a 3 liter naturally aspirated 270hp engine or in later years a 3.2 liter naturally aspirated 290hp engine. The engine is mid-rear mounted and the car is made of the first ever all-aluminum body and chassis. However this car spanked Ferraris so they are still pretty expensive.

    Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4s produced 300-320hp and were all wheel drive which probably makes them the fastest in acceleration and definitely enables better launches when modified. They fall apart easily though.

    The Toyota Supra Turbo (1993+) were also 320hp and are quite rare and collectible so not likely to be found cheap by comparison. They top out at 181mph if they aren't restricted (though they come restricted to 155mph). They also held Car and Driver's record for fastest 70-0 stop until they tested the Porsche Carrera GT in 2004.

    You also could assuming you have the money spring for a 350Z. The 03-05 models have 287hp and the 05-06 models have 300hp.

  7. Available in America, the Acura NSX.

    Then the RX-7, then the 300zx.

    But the Acura NSX is so expensive since it was classified as a super car back then, while the RX-7 and 300zx TT were sports cars.
