OH no, I wished I had a 2000GT Toyota! They are one of the few Japanese Cars hitting the circuit's like Barrett Jackson and bringing in six figure sales prices.

My old school Japanese is my current 1980 Mazda RX-7. Used to have an old 280Z also.

The "sports cars" I have owned were:
1980 Mazda RX-7 (cool car, fun to drive)
1976 Datsun 280Z (wish I had another!)
1987 Mustang GT (bought this new in 87 POS)
2000 Corvette (nice car, too "cookie cutter"
2004 Honda S-2000 (now this is a REAL sportscar!! Sold it becasue my 160 mile a day commute in LA was killing me in this car!)
2003 Miata (wife's car)

Currently have a 2005 Jaguar XJR. Now this is technically not a sportscar, but with a supercharged 400 HP engine, 20" BBS wheels with Michelin Pilots and 15" Brembo brakes.....it is as close as it gets to being a sportscar!! It has the acceleration of my C-5 Corvette, handles as good, and brakes better!!! This car really answers all of my needs for the ideal car!
