Mitsubishi.... No AWD eclipse. No Evo.

Subaru... CVT WRX instead of auto or DCT option. Outdated STi

Mazda. No mazdaspeed3, no v6 Mazda 6, no mazdaspeed 6, no Rx 9, no mazdaspeed miata.

Nissan outdated underfeatured vehicles. Old Z, aging GTR.

Toyota... so far has made underperforming sports cars for the power level.

Honda. The NSX was a computer game on wheels way more than the GTR will ever be plus overpriced and nothing like the original NSX.

Because of Japan's blatant pussification of cars.... Korea is gonna prove themselves in the sports arena.

has a higher top speed than Z. 167mph.
Why is this even a metric? It has never made any sense to me why manufacturers advertise hilariously useless top speeds, especially with many cars having a speed limiter.

Because, my dear American friend, there are parts of the world outside your borders. Some of those will actually allow you to explore that number. :-p

Kidding. Not many. But it’s like the horsepower wars. Except nobody questions that higher HP is a good thing. Yet really, the two numbers typically mean the same thing give or take coefficients of drag. And since a 125 HP car has no problem breaking the speed limit, so by the same logic nobody really needs 600 HP. So why do they make ‘em??? Rhetorical question, so please don’t pile up on me for it.

If I it makes you Happy? A Z With a tune has an estimated top speed of 168mph. A well modified Z with a tune may get as high as 171mph.
