The gentlemen's law still apply. That law doens't apply to cars sold to non-Japanese markets. I don't think the FX45 is sold in Japan yet. Newer 3UZ-FE Celsior is still 280hp in Japan. 93~'00 Supra TTs in Japan had only 280 also, whereas US version got 320hp.

Everyones answered about this, and I just wanna try to clarify something, the Germans DO have a gentlemen's agreement also, not from HP/Torque however, it's Top speed,

Porsche and Mercedes I think have it at 155mph top? Or something else, electronically governed.

The Skylines rarity isnt enough to make me want it more than a Supra.. Id say a RSP is almost as rare anyway lol + looks way better imo

I dont want a Nissan either

Both ???

I would take both if I could

But if I had to pick I would prob say a Skyline... At least if we were talking about older ones... I am not sure on the ones coming out in the future because I don't know enough about them yet...
