Description: It is argued by some that the Japanese were good at copying others, though looking at some of their first cars makes that seem untrue. The 2000GT, however, has a different story to tell. It is hard to...Add Comments0

Cho DanMay 14, 2012 '93 RX-7 Twin Turbo: 1.3L, 255hp.
Matt PiccoloMay 14, 2012 2000-2003 s2k made 240 hpa with a 2.0l... 2004-2009 with a 2.2 but it had better low end torque
Matty MichaelsMay 14, 2012 08-10 cobalt ss turbo, 260 HP and TRQ stock
Vince DeMasiMay 14, 2012 Exactly you say stock but stock means turbos like a well built stock 2.0l can make 240 maybe
Jason LevyMay 14, 2012 Only with the help of turbos do they go that high
Brady JacobyMay 14, 2012 Nowadays they put 300hp in 2.0L motors. Stock.

Chris BridgersMay 18, 2012 gt5 is a simulator that proffessionals use. not just a "game"
David GriegoMay 15, 2012 Thank you Abraham, this ain't wona them there onlyne eenglish clases. So quit being a Nazi about it.
Abraham MendozaMay 14, 2012 CARS. We are here to talk about CARS. Not grammar or politics, just CARS.
Jackson MichaelMay 14, 2012 WELL. Can they not handle WELL. For Christ's sake, learn some damn grammar.
David GriegoMay 14, 2012 It's a simulator, not game, Also, those cars were made for road racing, not drag strips, can they not handle good?
Jackson MichaelMay 14, 2012 When you said "handled as good as this car", I died a little inside
Vincent ButlerMay 14, 2012 It's a video game. So unrealistic.
David GriegoMay 14, 2012 Well the 60's muscle cars on GT5 handled just as good if not better than these little cars. Example: 69 Z28, 71 Mach 1, 67 cougar Xr7, 67 GT350, ever the massive 70 Challenger 426 HEMI handled as good as this car. Chargers were a different story.
Mikey JimenezMay 14, 2012 @Byakka you might want to restate your comment. You mean the cars performed better, cause American V8's were a lot more powerful than this.
Chris PenzaMay 14, 2012 You can get this in forza 4 but it's f class. I haven't driven it yet
Byakka HirakawaMay 14, 2012 Take the fact that japan stuck to making small motors and still got them to perform as well as alot of american v8s
David GriegoMay 14, 2012 You can get it on GT5 and it the best handling japan car of the 60's, next to the Mazda Cosmos which handles good as well.
Kevin RehbockMay 14, 2012 I bet it was light enough to handle well.
Brady JacobyMay 14, 2012 I bet it handled good especially with what we now consider slow.
Jackson MichaelMay 14, 2012 I'm pretty sure Helen Keller could write better than this guy when she was 7
Devin BabynMay 14, 2012 How could being deaf even effect your ability to read and write. Unless you're illiterate cause you couldn't be taught or something
Patrick JosephMay 14, 2012 Some people think he spells funny cause he's deaf. I know a deaf girl and she reads and spells fine. So this is no excuse. I think he does it on purpose. God knows.
Brandon LidyMay 14, 2012 Maybe he has a disability. Or he does it purposely
Henz HerreroMay 14, 2012 That almost made sense...

Patrick JosephMay 14, 2012 So they went from 4 discs to rear drums. Now that's evolution.
Jackson MichaelMay 14, 2012 6,800 was actually a lot back then
Alex ArvanitisMay 14, 2012 *426 hemi hit $6,000,000. 440's have hit $2 & $3,000,000.
Alex ArvanitisMay 14, 2012 A plum crazy with white top cuda 440-6pack auto (1/6 I believe ever produced that way) sold for about 6million. Many sell for over $2m.
Before disagreeing, do a quick google search of "hemi cuda $6,000,000"
Anyways, I derailed, 2000gt ftmfw so sexy
Phil JohnsonMay 14, 2012 Yeah I highly doubt any 6-pack car has hit seven digits. And I'm sure they cost under $5K brand new.
Abraham MendozaMay 14, 2012 Shelby was everywhere back then!!! Wow...
Alex ArvanitisMay 14, 2012 Awesome car none the less. I've always loved everything but the price about these cars. That and maybe some extra power
Alex ArvanitisMay 14, 2012 Ya awesome car but they priced it way too high back then. You could buy a basic home with that kind of money then. A jag or Ferrari wasn't that much unless you bought the top of the line ones.
A 440 6pack cuda was 5,000. Now they're $5,000,000!

Devin BabynMay 15, 2012 Well pretty much the only reason I think it can be better is because the Z's were fairly similar and personally I think they look a lot better
Abraham MendozaMay 14, 2012 Well...any car could be better than it already is, but these are still companies that need to make $$$, so development costs for this car would be even higher than it was then. It was expensive then, imagine if it was "better"?
Devin BabynMay 14, 2012 Oh it's an amazing try. I just know it can be better. So by that I can't say I like it
Abraham MendozaMay 14, 2012 Considering the crap they were making at the time? I'd say it was a good try.
Devin BabynMay 14, 2012 I have to disagree. This does nothing for me. It has tons of potential and could've been amazing but the way it is I'm not a fan
