Yeah, doesn't it? I wonder if cop cruisers in Japan have the upper hand in the speed factor, as ours do.
Once on the way to Vegas, I was running steady at 85, when this 5.0 Mustang state trooper passed me (crossing over the yellow-dashed oncoming lane) at about 115mph or so. It's days like those that I am proud to have serious law-enforcement agencies in our nation, as opposed to the funky laughable little minicoppers they have in Europe, whining the WHEE-AHH, WHEE-AHH, WHEE-AHH (heh, reminds me of Mr. Bean).
However, one thing to be envious of the japanese is this thing they do about keeping older model cars, even though they design and produce newer ones. I was stunned the first time I heard that Nissan decided to continuously build the 180SX alongside the S14 all the way through 1997. Being a hardened fan of the SR20DET powered machines, it was music to my ears (especially because they gave the 180SX a nice facelift, which I intend to incorporate into an S13 240SX hatch when I purchase one in September).
