  Ladies and gentlemen, here you can put down your views on what you feel is the best Japanese racing car around! You must take into account the performance, interior and exterior design, price (value for money), depreciation and resale value! Also other miscellaneous stuff like modification availability etc ... let's kickstart the ball! Popular makes are :
  
  1) Mitsubishi Evolution VIII (latest)
  
  2) Subaru Impreza WRX (or STI version)
  
  3) Honda Integra Type R (DC5)
  
  4) Nissan Silvia (S15)
  
  5) Nissan Skyline
  
  6) Mazda Roadster MX5
  
  7) Honda Roadster S2000
  
  others???
  
  What is your vote??

  Below are my views....
  
  Value for $ = EVO or WRX STI (which car give u 280bhp and cost 150k)
  Performance = 4wd rules in rally...but track should be rightfully belong to the MRs(honda NSX)
  Resale value = The more exotic the more higher the resale
  Modification = every jap car have the same amout of mods available..remember the japs are crazy!
  Depreciation = The more expensive the car the more it depreciate(isn't it?).
  Interior = Japs cars doesn't have a very good interior(maybe S2K?).
  Exterior = S15 and FD3S are the sexiest looking japs cars.
  
  ok...last of all..my best jap racing car is Honda NSX.
