Nissan 300ZX vs Toyota Supra MK4 — 90s JDM GT Legends Clash in FH6
Two twin-turbo 90s Japanese GT cars that defined an era. The 300ZX packs a 300hp 3.0L V6 with twin turbos and HICAS four-wheel steering. The Supra MK4 counters with 320hp from the legendary 2JZ-GTE inline-six. In FH6's B class, both are tuner icons with massive power potential. But one is the better car out of the box.
The 90s were the golden age of Japanese performance, and these two sat at the top of the GT pyramid. The 300ZX was Nissan's technology showcase — twin turbo, HICAS four-wheel steering, cockpit like a fighter jet. The Supra was Toyota's overbuilt masterpiece — the 2JZ engine block could handle 800hp on stock internals. In FH6, both start in B class and both can be built into absolute monsters.

Verdict
Stock for stock on a twisty circuit, the 300ZX actually handles better — the HICAS system gives it an agility advantage and the chassis feels more modern. But the Supra wins everywhere else — it's faster, has more tuning headroom, and the 2JZ's legendary strength means you can push harder. For drag racing and high-power builds, the Supra is untouchable. For a unique B-class road racer that not everyone is using, the 300ZX is the more interesting pick. The Supra is the objectively better car overall, but the 300ZX gets more respect from people who know cars.
How to Get Each
Nissan 300ZX: 28,000 CR. Surprising bargain for a twin-turbo GT.
Toyota Supra MK4: 55,000 CR. The 2JZ tax is real, even in FH6.

Which Should You Buy in FH6?
The answer depends on what you're building your garage for. If you're building for Horizon Open competitiveness, check the current meta rankings before spending credits — the meta shifts with each seasonal update and a car that was S-tier last month might be B-tier now. If you're building for driving enjoyment, go with the car that has the more engaging driving character. Check the auction house before buying from the autoshow — many of these cars appear as seasonal rewards and can be 30-50% cheaper on the secondary market. For both cars, budget at least 80,000-120,000 CR for a full upgrade path to their competitive class. A half-built car is worse than a well-tuned car one class lower. The most important factor is how the car fits your driving style — some cars reward aggressive driving, others need smooth inputs. Test drive both in a Rivals event before committing to a build. Five laps in each car will tell you more than any spec sheet can.
