Actually, I'm usually underwhelmed by JDM tuner cars. Sure they're impressive, and even fast, but they're usually like 60% go and 40% show. A real racecar is faster because it doesn't include shit like unnecessary body kit parts, unnecessarily large wheels with "hellaflush" fitments, stretched tires, etc that a tuner car has because it's just a mobile parts billboard.
I'm not saying they're not cool, but IMO something like a ALMS or Daytona Prototype car is *much* more impressive than a JGTC (or whatever they're calling that series these days) car that's so influenced by the tuner market in Japan.
