Nissan is the #2 car in japan, next to toyota... so their aftermarket is HUGE over there... nothing here really, which sux... everything is so expensive.

My bro has a 240sx and he drifts it all the time, his tires are wack now... he eh he...

Well, I'm partial to two makers for the States. Honda/Acura and toyota and VW. If I were overseas, definitely Nissan. But here in the States, these makers have the best aftermarket support, IMO.

i chose porsche...
but i would honestly take a vette... c5.
they are completely insane.
and the vette is distinguishable as a marque, not just a car...
but i would choose porsche after seeing some of their race cars...

i dont know its a tough pick, but id prob pick Benz or Bmw but make them sleepers like a Renntech SL73 (550bhp) or a Hartage 3 series V8 (an M5 engine shoved into a normal 3 series) and then just shave the badges.....this way you still get all the class, but you can kick the crap outta just about anyone.....esp that 3 series

for the US, acura/honda have the best base, and best aftermarket support for upgrading....you prounounce the words b18c, and everyone knows......

outside of US thou, i'd say nissan, they have done miraculous things t their cars, and tey have great aftermarket internationally....i'm speaking mainly of the skyline gt-r, but 300z is good too.....

I voted Honda/Acura, but that response is partial. If you weren't as concerned with aftermarket support, I'd go with Mazda and work with a rotary. ...I wonder who picked Isuzu and why?

i chose honda/acura, cause the aftermarket support is unbelievable :)
plus they're not expensive

actually, I think small block chevy's have the largest aftermarket here in North America...second would be Ford 302, then would come Honda/Acura

I like my Mopar. It came already pretty loaded. If I reallt sunk the money into it, holy crap. But instead I got a another car, my 1996 Dodge Stealth RT Twin Turbo and I have started modding that.

You know, I think you're right. I think that Honda/Acura is just more widespread on the internet, but more performance shops and markets still seem to cater to the domestics when you get out there and look.

hondas have the most and the cheapest parts, and everyone knows how to work on them. next would be nissans.
