How about a little tiny bit of journalism to figure out if the reason for the low numbers is that nobody wants them, of if there are none to buy because the makers aren’t importing/building any? Pretty sure Z4s are not stacked up like cordwood on BMW dealer lots.

Two things:

I’d just point out that the LC500 is on track to be in line with previous years’ sales. With the exception of 2021, it’s never sold more than 2k/year.

Fun for the masses, the first generation Nissan Sentra SE-R. Up until that time 16 valve found cylinder engines made power at the high end. The Sentra made torque down low and pulled well all the way up to its 7500 (!!) rpm redline.

I think we’ve missed one really important one:

I’m honestly surprised that this is the first vote for the NSX that I’ve seen.  Such a brilliant vehicle, balanced rather than overpowered, and it still looks gorgeous today.

Duh, McLaren F1

My attorney says I’m not to answer that one.

I nominate the original Acura NSX

For me it’s the SW20 MR2, particularly the Revision V models built from end of year 1997 to the end of production in 1999. These final models looked the best out of the entire near-decade long run of the generation and benefited from all the suspension and drivetrain revisions made over the years. The Japanese models

Crown Vic... rental.

All you plebians with your Corvettes and your Supras. It’s not enough that you must be wrong, must you also be vulgar?

Now playing

I had a 1990 ZR-1 for a while. That engine was a beautiful thing. Sounded great, loved to rev, and with some minor mods that car handled fantastically. It had a ton of advanced tech for the time, aside from the motor, like electronic adaptive shocks, and it also had a ‘power key’ like a hellcat that activated the

Audi RS2 Avant and Volvo 850R,

The obvious answer is McLaren F1, considering it still holds the fastest NA production car title some 30 years later. But for me personally it would be the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4

I think the McLaren F1 is the apex of 90s sports cars, but the best attainable car would be the Mazda RX-7, 3rd Gen. Not the fastest, but what a beauty.

I think the market and the popular zeitgeist has crowned the MK IV Supra.

(shrug) For me, it would have been a 5.0 Mustang. Simply because those things were SO damn tuneable, you could pull up to one at a light and have no idea if it were stock at 225 HP (keep in mind that back then, that was sufficient; even your JDM example in the article only made 200 HP), or did it have headers,

The 1990-95 Corvette ZR-1:

Man there are so many choices. Like all the choices.
