In Japan you had cars like the 300ZX, R32/33/34 GT-Rs and twin turbo Supras fighting Porsches and Ferraris for performance honors. The 90s also ushered in a plethora of fun and fast hot hatches and AWD rally bred cars built on entry level cars anybody could afford. Dynamically they were much better too that anything from the 1980s. The Honda NSX and Porsche 911s of the era made true sports cars much faster, more usable and significantly more reliable.
