Tuned by racecar drivers, homologated for racing series, and more capable and powerful than any other version of their respective model - these Japanese autos are purpose built for extracting every ounce that a street allows.

Hood up busting big vapes with some ray bans is how I survive life

[@d33b33]

I love the Goodwood green NSX, but that blue Scooby-Doo looks like an absolute boss. How this video has less than a thousand views is criminal.

[@joelpierce3940]

My wife had a 73 Datsun 510! Wish we would have held onto it!

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

I've always wanted one

[@joelpierce3940]

@@The_R-n-I_Guy I have seen them race at COTA and talked to the drivers and crew. Paul Neuman’s first race car.

[@bigsarge2085]

Cool. We briefly owned a 1979 Corolla hatchback w/ manual transmission. No racer, but a neat little car!

[@IOSALive]

Audrain Museum Network, Wow, this made my day brighter! Thank you!

[@aaroncfriedman]

Bro if i still had my subaru id be vaping out the window like a legend

[@stuffhappens5681]

Nice to see Ben coming into his own on camera. Donald and Ben are a good team!

[@johndavey72]

Hello Ben and greetings to you Donald . Back in 1990 l was repairing Subaru's for a dealer and l drove the first lmpreza's . What a magnificent car . Only 210 bhp but that was huge power in the day and the 4 wheel drive gave the car impeccable manners and astonishing speed . Did you know that Subaru bought the copyrights for that flat four boxer from Jowett of England ? Thankyou gentlemen

[@Kevin6t8]

My 1st car was a brown 1977 Datsun B210 GX hatch.🇺🇸

[@angeloah]

Well said(hehe), some points I could contest, you guys made the point nonetheless. Thanks for highlighting one of my favorite cars, number 2 or 3 in my top 5, the ap1 nsx type r.

[@grahambell4298]

Incorrect to say that all the Type R Hondas were Japanese market only as we got them here in the UK. Not all of them (didn't get the NSX Type R) but we did get Accords and Civics.

[@realbogus]

I always wanted a GTR... thank God I never tried dealing with Motorex... dodged that bullet. The NSX is sexy... love that green!!

[@Kevin6t8]

My last JDR car was the 1989 Isuzu IMark RS sold in 🇺🇸

[@decencywarrior9598]

Japanese vehicles - 50 years of them , enhanced my families life . Not taken away from American mfg.'s - I;'ve owned just as many of American cars and trucks-just designed for different purposes.

[@luiscarrion696]

He forgot, Honda makes lawnmowers, and they are the best!

[@JamesAllmond]

and our Subaru is made in Indiana, the land of Studebaker!

[@realbogus]

I loved the gentlemens agreement limiting HP to 280... talk about lies.

[@realbogus]

Donald, don't fret... the C4 Corvette had a crap chassis, and they didn't reach a reliable standard until 1992 or so.

[@Kevin6t8]

Are there any LHD Subaru 22B? Asking for a friend from 🇺🇸

[@waregraham8335]

I bought a 22B new in 98 living in Tokyo an amazing car

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Well, that sounds ridiculously cool.

[@jimiverson3085]

The real holy grail of JDM would be the 432 version of the Fairlady Z (aka 240Z).

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

We’ve done a video on the 240z as well! Japan Fights Back - The Original Honda Civic, Datsun's Dominant 240Z, and Subaru's First Car! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5iziZ6QiZ2VZrs

[@robertharris7027]

Funny, but I never felt that a Skyline, this Acura or any Subaru would be desirable. Ok, I'm from Germany, maybe that's the reason. Only Japanese cars I would like to have are a Toyota 2000GT and the Datsun 240Z.

[@Kevin6t8]

I'm still looking for a left hand drive NSX Type R ......

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

They exist, but only a few, and they never came LHD from the factory. Spoon made some conversion cars.

[@Kevin6t8]

@@AudrainMuseumNetwork At a certain cost, I'm sure...

[@dallas6847]

😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍

[@user-ss7jl8ze9q]

Honda introduced Acura when Toyota introduced Lexus and Nissan brought out Infiniti.

[@darrynmeadows]

What about Porsche they had the 911 turbo Honda did not invent the high performance 6

[@OYisit]

How ironic when U.S. auto makers were blaming the American autoworkforce as a problem and decided to off shore all they could. Then these transplants arrived and their brands at times had more local content than their domestic rivals. Who abandoned who? 😢

[@jamesonpace726]

And what has become of JDM today? Hmmm....
