The bar is pretty damn high these days. Closest we may come to seeing an actual super car from Japan for the time being will be the upcoming R35 GT-R.

I second that, Toyota already have high performance super cars in development, both lexus, the IS460 (yes not 430) and the LFA super car. expect Japan to be competitive with hp again with the 280ps agreement a thing of the past. just dont expect the supra to be a M3 or vette killer. dont forget the number 1 perogative of a company is to make money. Theres a reason why Nissan hasnt put out a twin turbo 350Z with bulletproof internals. Because they dont sell! I also expect anything that will offer super-car performance will be under the Lexus, Acura, Infiniti badges now. the new NSX, skyline GT-R, and the LFA will begin a new era of japanses performance. Hopefully well see a RX7 this october also.
