fallacy fallacy..

I mean, so what? You don't think they ever perform well enough to be considered pretty solid cars?

True the NSX, Supra and Skyline are overrated due to HS kids and the youtube crowd. The reality of the situation is that they are fantastic cars. Not that I'd own one or anything.

I agree with JK59GT2000 that a lot of people think that those cars are faster than they really are.. such as the regular, non-turbo supra.. people see it and think Wow! that thing is fast because it's a supra! And they tell people they dont race others because they dont want to waste their time or whatever other excuse when reality is they have the slow version.. they've probably even deluded themselves into thinking it's faster than it is. Not me though.. I know a zr1 is faster than me.. not much else is though

Maybe the NSX and Skylines are "over rated",(don't really know a whole lot about them) but I think the 2jz supra deserves the props it gets. It's one hell of a solid platform to mod. Any run of the mill production sports car (especially a 6 cylinder) that has been known to be able to handle 800+ rwhp on a stock bottom end deserves some credit.

Sure, there maybe a few others. Which ones under 50K? I can't think of any off the top of my head. What's this bad name you speak of that us import drivers need to clear?
