Much as I like them, I wouldn't class the RX-7, Supra etc as supercars...

I just said that IF you include the NSX and GTR then they are hard to exclude.

IE I wouldn't call either the NSX nor GTR

The GTR is easy to exclude IMO. You're wrong about the NSX though. Aluminium construction, na high revving mid engined, rwd.

I can't see how you can't include the NSXin the list.

I could easily include the NSX and exclude all the Skylines, Supra, GTR, RX7, 3000GT etc...

That just shows how we all have different opinions... or how many of you are wrong.

^^Remind me where did the NSX start the race ?

And where did it end ?

And HOW MUCH more was it than the RX7 ?

First production car with Ti con rods, forged pistons
First production car to feature an all ali monocoque chassis, extruded ali frame and suspension
4 channel independent ABS
Mid engined hand built 8K V6
Developed by Senna

It's always in the supercar list.

As opposed to the RX7 which had that run of the mill, sequential twin turbo, rotary engine - in 1991 !

Remind me... with all that lightweight tech how much did an NSX weigh ?

(more than an RX7)
