Were ahead of our time...are you??? JASSIC is a term coined by Brenda Ayala and Diasiss in June of 2006. The moderators of WWW.JASSICS.COM have originated this term to describe a Japanese classic car and culture. It is combined from two words - Japanese and classic.A JASSIC can refer to many cars considered Japanese and classic, but the word classic as used with the term JASSIC doesnt necessarily mean a Japanese car 25 years or older. It is used with this definition of classic below. CLASSIC Belonging to the highest rank or class; Serving as the established model or standard-a classic. Having lasting significance or worth; enduring. ORIGIN http moderator DIASISS known for being controversial, innovative, and ambitious, was becoming frustrated with most car cultures not recognizing Japanese cars and their controversial urban culture. In an attempt to combat popular culture and solve this problem he thought it would be wise to invent a coined term to which he is quoted saying if you can know a car type and culture by simply saying American Muscle or Tunerwhy not a term for the ghetto and urban old-school Japanese cars and culture!!! Brenda Ayala suggested, why not call them JASSICS??? which caught on very quickly and was very well received once used.The term was also created to make a statement to the car world that Japan CAN make a classic car and can be recognized as a force and rival for American and European classic cars to reckon with.. The terms JASSIC and JASSCAR ...

  9. you missed Mitsubishi Galant VR-4

    thats a true JASSIC

  10. @JASSICSCLUBISACOWARD wow. lots of hate on this vid. i'll agree with one point. i did a facepalm when i saw the new gtr's. IMHO, not my taste. HOWEVER, one cant argue with the fact that the GTR is fast in its own right. faster than the vette? vette: 0-60 in 3.4s 1/4 in 11.3s @ 131mph. (official chevrolet specs) gtr: 0-60 in 3.2s, and 11.6@ 121 in the quarter. (edmunds) both cars are omfgstupidfast on the street. again, give respect where respect is due.

  11. @Machone7O now lets compare that vette to say....r32 gtr? import guys would definatly call that one a ground pounder. 0-60 in 4.7s, 1/4 in 13 flat. 427 is what.... a 7 liter V8, tick under 3100 pounds. r32 is a 2.6 liter, tick over 3200 lbs. both are outstanding cars in their own rights. give respect where respect is due man.

  12. @Machone7O ok. how much do you actually KNOW about cars. lets start from the top. first of all, let's do a comparison. to make it even remotely fair, we'll toss out cars from both sides not built as sports cars. stock for stock, lets compare. speed? let's use some obsence car for a USDM example. how bout a 1969 corvette with the 427. im pretty sure most muscle guys would consider that a ground pounder. 0-60 in 5.3s and a 1/4 time of 13.8s. (car and driver, 1969)

  13. S12 FTW!!!

  14. half of those cars arent even "old school". jassic maby, but not "old school" still very nice cars though. i've owned a good 1/2 of em., and am currently restoring a 72 240z, and a buddy of mine is restoring a 86 (?) rs-x s12.

    Harv.

  27. What kinda stories? I'd be curious to know as well.

  28. wazzupriders: great comment, well said. I agree 100%.

  29. Wow Garage 419. Great reportage, clever people speaking the non biased truth. Ill be watching more of this.

  30. great host- kind of like a jeremy clarkson/seth rogen mix... he made a nice choice with the 2002 also

  31. Creepy

  32. Math and tooninty?

  33. Can you give us an example? I am curious

  34. two parents went out for
    dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was
    calling to ask if she could cover up the clown
    statue in the kids' room, the father
    said,Take the kids and get out of the
    house. We'll call the police, we don't have a
    clown statue. The clown
    statue is really a killer that escaped
    from jail. If you don't post this to
    10 videos today, the clown will be in your
    bed at 3 am with a chainsaw in his hand

  35. you kidding me? this is still a youtube show, and nowhere near as fun as top gear.

  36. LOL classic would be 1987 bmw m3

  37. Sadly I wouldn't trust Hennessey with my GTR. The horror stories I hear from Viper owners tell me to stay away from him.

  38. really thats gona be interesting to see then. but i would prefer a stripped out lightened 2002 version more the a fat heavy m series

  39. my uncle works at the bmw plant in germany i hear different

  40. im bored on cam

    someone smart please help me VU

  41. no there not making an m1 at all cause they dont wont to remake the name after the m1 they made in the late 70s

  42. this is real! top gear, watch out!

  43. 4001st view!!!

  44. Quailty as always. I just wish there was a club like that here in NC. Matt, you need to come down and drive the tail of the dragon. Look into it.

  45. hear there makng M1 only in germany tho, so kinda gay, but im up for just shipping it over

  46. rumor is they are going to make the 2002 tii out of the 135i cause they cant make an m1.

  47. lol yeah but i know that you cant publicly say that

  48. matt top notch as usual.

    fuck i wish i lived in nyc.

  49. they arent gonna do well against the japanese tuners whose prices are so much lower

  50. 570whp is the minimum u should get and most ppl are getting 600plus for 6k not 11.5k from the godzilla 600.

    I cant imagine 2 bigger turbos that hike up the price to 19k for the godzilla 700. Which twin turbos cost 12k for a japanese car??
