So who's the KF noob with the nsx?

[collins]

Since you backed down from thacker, I say you give mine a try. We can do either a dig or a 40 kick... Or both I don't care. I smacked down one nsx, I don't see what the problem would be doing of again :cheers:

[03RCode]

He will decline this callout... Just making a prediction.

[yeaiwonder88]

haha you know something the only thing i can do is just sit here...and think how funny this is as i drive off in my nsx...hahahahaha...

[Humphrizzle]

chant's nsx is a little faster than a GTO with black painted OEM wheels.

[Maniacc]

I've raced an NSX before.

I was on stock turbo and only had a turboback at the time... they're slow as fuck. I beat him by a few cars.

[03RCode]

haha you know something the only thing i can do is just sit here...and think how funny this is as i drive off in my nsx...hahahahaha...


I'm glad your so proud of that thing, as I have never been a fan.

NSX=Honda=:(

Looks nice though :lmfao::lmfao::lmfao::lmfao:

[Vteckidd]

they are track cars, not race cars lol

its like an S2000, my CRX with 180whp walked all over them, but they arent made for straight line performance

[Lankhoss]

Very first car I ever raced in my Z was an NSX. Beat him up pretty good in the corners, too....it was total ownage.

[Vteckidd]

it makes 200fucking wheel horespower, wtf do you expect lol

NSX Makes 250whp ish

its like a Type-R, they are bred for specific race classes. The NSX is NOT a fast car at all, just like a 355 spyder is not a FAST CAR. WHat they are is very WELL BALANCED cars in terms of performance and handling

a honda is a honda is a honda, sir... wasnt downing your car. but as you're driving off, i bet you'll still be trying to see my tail lights as they fade farther and farther....


seriously dude, call me in 3 months ;)

NXS is around 80k too, new. And mine was well below 80k after buying every single option possible, sales taxes, and extended warranty.

[Vteckidd]

you cant possibly compare a NSX to a Vette.

v6 versus v8

No TQ versus TQ

3.0l versus 5.7l

The NSX has not been changed since 1990, think about that. It has had MINOR changes like front headlights, some body mods, but the powerplant has been relatively untouched for over 12 years. It was $80,000 when it came out, and it was $80,000 the last year it was sold.

How many other supercars can claim that?

The NSX was a supercar that never had the balls the other cars in its price range had. But it was super sexy and even to this day, its a sick looking car that has stood the test of time. How many 90s Vettes still look like they have "style".

Bragging about beating an NSX is like bragging about your 500whp civic beating a ferrari.

its pretty pointless.

anyone got cliffsnotes on what the noob nsx did?!?!?!? :???: musta missed it somewhere :goodjob:

[blake06gto]

apparently thacker called him out... nsx refused... collins now wants nsx

[Jason..]

cause i cant join in on the fun.No fun here..

[fade2blk500]

I've drove 4-5 nsx's, very fun cars to drive but they definitely don't have much balls to them power wise from the factory. Unless he has quite a few things done, he definitely doesn't need to try to run a gto..

[collins]

i was just lookin for a friendly run lol... if he runs 12 flat, he should only be a couple carlengths ahead of me..... IF he runs 12 flat... ;)

[MS3ZZ]

quick research through google shows that they run 13.7-9 ish 1/4 and trap 103ish

[blake06gto]

its not so much the fun in this thread im talkin about... im talkin in general cause i just want the car running. collins u goin to sdr this weekend.. im goin in a 06 stang gt lol...

[claybird]

GO NSX GO!!!!

They pretty much didn't change but they did change the motor once from a 3.0 to a 3.2 i believe or maybe it was opposite. Stock NSX runs about a 13.3 or so

[Capt._Ron]

Newer ones

[collins]

its not so much the fun in this thread im talkin about... im talkin in general cause i just want the car running. collins u goin to sdr this weekend.. im goin in a 06 stang gt lol... honestly man, gotta see how money is... i got the motor mounts in, so that part's fine. now its just makin some cheddar and getting someone to cover my shift saturday. hopefully all goes well, because i really wanna get down there.

Are you kidding me? This post makes no sense whatsoever.

My car was stock, a 500whp Civic isn't stock.

The NSX is 80k, my car is less than 80k, even with every option you can get on it.

The NSX is a small, mid engine car, that weighs well under 3000lbs...it's not that hard to make it brake and handle well.

The NSX is a cool car, but it's grossly over-priced.

[2.3 Evo 8]

Vteckidd put "5.7" down for the vette. Maybe in 1990.

New Z06 is 7.0 isn't it? :ninja:

[collins]

Making callouts with motors out of cars FTL.:2cents:

. whos car are you talking about?

[blake06gto]

ya the new ones are 7.0.. and ive seen quite a few older c4's of that time that still look like they are nice.. its all in how the owner takes care of them. ive seen some riced out nsx's too. of course your gonna see more crappy looking vettes of that time.. they sold alot more of those than nsx's did.

[Vteckidd]

Vteckidd put "5.7" down for the vette. Maybe in 1990.

New Z06 is 7.0 isn't it? :ninja:
ehh most of the C5s were 5.7l or something, im pretty sure the Base model wasnt 7.0l

Did he have a Z06 C6?

Ehh you guys just dont get it, you cant compare the car to what you are comparing to.

You cant put a price on timeless design and styling

haha you missed the context.

Im saying bragging about beating and NSX with a car that makes DOUBLE the HP and TQ, is pointless.

Sure they are the same MSRP, im not saying an NSX is BETTER than a vette, id buy a vette any day, but the NSX has that supercar styling and appeal, thats who it caters too.

you see C5s and C6s everywhere, you dont see NSXs everywhere. They appeal to a different crowd.

You know how easy it is to beat a Ferrari? i beat a 360 in my 240whp Silvia, so what, its a FERRARI, i drove an S13.

The vette is just raw power, and i like the way it looks. but its nowhere near the styling the NSX has IMO of course

[Humphrizzle]

used NSX doesnt cost 80k..

more like >30,000

[blake06gto]

i wasnt too much a fan of the original nsx's. when they ditched the pop up headlights i guess gave it a little somethin else.... it looked ALOT better. the front end definitly made the difference.

[Vteckidd]

the 2002 NSX was *$8x,000
the 2002 C5 z06 was $55,000 ish

the 2008 Z06 was $8x,000

Both the vettes were vastly bigger motors, hp, tq, tires, etc. They were MUCH faster no one is denying that.

What im simply saying is the NSX Hovered around the same price range for 12 years, and never changed. Its still using technology that was debuted in 1990. Now the same can be said about the vette with "pushrods" but dont tell me the newer vettes share ANYTHING in common with the older 90s vettes.

The NSX was a supercar , it lacked balls, but it wasnt about being brutally fast, i mean what honda is? It was meant to be a fun, BALANCED car. ANd thats exactly what it was. If you bought one thinking it was going to be crazy fast, you bought it for the wrong reasons

Look, C5s are under $12000 now, ZO6s are under $20,000, Base model C6s are under $28000 now.

you cant BUY a used NSX for less than $20,000 and thats gonna be a 91-95 model.

Wonder why they hold their value :cheers:

[blake06gto]

You are WAY off in a lot of points you make.

For one, the ZR-1 from 1990 had a lot more awesome technology for the time, than the NSX did. And I believe the MSRP was between 60 - 70k.

New Z06s are not, and never were 80+k. Just because people got price gouged, doesn't mean that's what they cost The '07's and newer went up quite a bit in price, but even then the MSRP was 68k, and you could get roughly 9k in options. So after taxes and such it's POSSIBLE to get the Z06 around 80k brand new, but you can't say that's the price of the car...especially the MSRP.

Also, Z06s are not 20k now. The C5's still cost well over 20k. They were still in the mid - high 30's (some low 40's) until the C6 came out, then they dropped in price. The NSX holds its value better, because there were hardly any made. The Corvette is mass produced, and even the limited Z06 has far more made than most rare or exotic cars.

The NSX had amazing styling in 1990, I'm not arguing that. I personally never thought they were THAT amazing looking, but I did think they looked pretty cool. Nowadays, I think they are pretty bland. Even the Gen1 Vipers looked tons better than any NSX ever has. I think a C6 Z06 blows the NSX out of the water as far as styling goes. Just because you see them more often, doesn't mean their styling isn't incredible.

Personally, I just don't think the NSX is "all that," even in how it looks. Like I said before, it's a cool car....it really is. But it's styling isn't anything that really "does it" for me, and it's extremely expensive, and doesn't have very good performance.

[MrBoostedCRX]

Since you backed down from thacker, I say you give mine a try. We can do either a dig or a 40 kick... Or both I don't care. I smacked down one nsx, I don't see what the problem would be doing of again :cheers:

u go to gwinnett tech?

ill yield to you on the pricing of the C6 as i never bought one.

But ive seen C5 Z06s in low low 20s left an right. Some are still expensive, but the early z06 is relatively cheap.

Ive been looking at base model C6s, and they are just now breaking sub 30Ks. you are right some are still 30+, but some are trickling down in price

As far as the 90 ZR1, no idea, so i cant comment, well before my time. All i know is the NSX when it came out was like a ferrari for under $130,000 in terms of looks and interior.

Power wise its always lacked, but again, what honda doesnt. Its a track car, its made to drive in the mountains as gay as that sounds or some windy back road.

Im not arguing with you that the vette may be better in every aspect, i believe it is. I just think the NSX has a special market, and appealed to a different crowd than the vette has, along with other cars in its price range.

[Humphrizzle]

i dont think they were talkin used nsx... but even then i dont think any newer nsx used is gonna be 30k. maybe a 1991 or somethin.


why would they be talking about a newer NSX?

Yeah, I see what you are saying now. And I agree, the NSX is definitely a more "special" car than a Corvette. I also agree that when it came out, it was more "exotic" than the Corvette. How awesome its styling is is in the eye of the beholder though, and I don't think most people think it's really all that awesome. It was certainly more appealing when it came out than it is today, as well.

My comments weren't so directly aimed at the NSX itself, but more this dipshit that owns one and his comment about "at the end of the day I drive home in an NSX" As if being stupid enough to blow all of that money on such an underwhelming car is something to brag about. Hell, having that kind of snooty attitude with ANY car you drive is full douchebaggery anyway, but to think the NSX is something everyone is jealous of is laughable.

They're awesome collector cars, but truely a waste of money if you are wanting to buy a car for performance. A Lotus Exige is a much better purchase (and looks better too, in my opinion).

i think we actually agree HAHA

In terms of a performance car it is low on the totem pole considering what is out there. Especially with its price.

All through the 90s you had cars that were MUCH better, the Supra, FD, some will argue the 300zx, the Viper,late 90s Camaro SS, late 90s Cobra etc. Early 2000 Chevy hit the nail on the head with the Vette. Most of those cars with the exception of the Viper were well below the NSXs msrp.

Hell IIRC the Aston Martin was not that much more expensive (DB7??)

Honda always knew the NSX was way underpowered. But they never did anything about it.

But i think you are right, the vettes/camaros were always targeted more towards "affordable" than the NSX ever was. Honda makes money selling commuter cars, they rarely offer anything of REAL performance compared to its american counterparts.

The s2000 is a great car but its underpowered, the Civic SI was not fast , GSR was not fast, Type-R was a "track car" but certainly not fast. They were SPORTY cars , but not fast. The nSX was their "flagship" exotic that if they sold 100 a year, awesome.

I will admit riding in one is cool, you definetly get the OOO and AHHH factor cause it just looks exotic. I still look at Vettes when i see one, but i see 20 a day, you see 1 NSX a month MAYBE.

i just think in terms of performance they are totally different cars, price they may be close.

Is the NSX overpriced, yeah, ill agree with that, id never buy one. Why pay 30K for a 10 year old car? id rather pay 30K for a C6 thats 3 years old and has way more power.

But yes the kid shouldnt act snooty, its a NSX, its a nice car, and its cool to own one, but its by no means a "fast" car

[Lankhoss]

I think it's sad, in the automotive world, that by time a company comes out with something really cool, no one can buy it. Ford and Honda are two of the worst companies, in my opinion. Even the Supra was twice the value of the NSX.

Look at the Ford GT. In my opinion, one of the most awesome looking cars ever put on the road. Great performance....similar to a Z06 and Viper. But almost TWICE the cost of both!!! The Cobra R that came out in 2000 was a wicked car, but fell behind the C5 Z06 in every category....yet cost about 2k more MSRP. And the GT 500 Mustang. Pretty cool styling, big ass supercharged motor (much better engine than the Cobra), but terrible braking and handling and weighs a ton. Yet it's the same cost of a base C6 Coupe that beats it in every single performance category.

I think the NSX would have been more of a "legend" had it been around 40 in the early 90's, and around 60 now. That seems to be a reasonable price. It really was (is) a very stylish car, and has very good all round performance. But at 80k, it will never be respectable nor will you see people driving them. It really sucks.

[Humphrizzle]

if i had money for a car like that, i'd probably pick the NSX.. i've driven a couple and the entire time it made me happy.

i'd shell out 25k for a 91-95 model.

i find the car worth the price.

WHAT!!?? LMFAO, a C5Z being better than a 00' R :lmfao:... First off, the there was only 300 of them in 2000 at 54K a piece they are still worth that today, 9 years later. They also pull 1.01 g on the skid pad while the C5Z pulls .98 g. They brake from 60-0 in 109ft, same a a gallardo. Guess what you C6Z does it in... almost 120ft. And a Ford GT is a low production Supercar, msrp around 150K. Pretty decent price in my book for being in the top 10 fastest production cars. If they had produced 8000 of them in one year like they did your C6Z the price would have been greatly reduced. As for the GT 500, I don't care for them. 03-04 Cobras own them :D

Wow, are you serious?? I'd always heard the Cobra R was slower and didn't perform as well as the C5 Z. Even saw a video comparison once where the Z beat it around a road course.

I haven't dug up the facts, but this is honestly the first time I've heard the Cobra R outperformed the C5 Z. And I thought the MSRP on a Cobra R was 57?

The Ford GT has about the same production numbers as the Viper, and the Viper is still under 100k. Hell, even the ACR is 50 grand cheaper than a Ford GT.

Not saying all the cars listed are crap cars.........quite the opposite, actually. I think it's sad that when a nice car comes out, it's just too damned expensive. Not worth the extra money.

Yes the Corvette is wicked fast and fun to drive but it's nothing but that and inexpensive. It's Cheap, classless, plasticy speed. I'd much rather pay more money for something more exotic and exclusive then a fiberglass rental car. You'd be crazy to pick a C5 Z06 over something as exclusive and rare as a Cobra R. The NSX, DB7, Carrera and what not have a sort of class and less mullet-like appeal that a Vette will never have and that's why people buy them

Yes the Corvette is wicked fast and fun to drive but it's nothing but that. Cheap, classless, plasticy speed. I'd much rather pay more money for something more exotic and exclusive then a fiberglass rental car. You'd be crazy to pick a C5 Z06 over something as exclusive and rare as a Cobra R. The NSX, DB7, Carrera and what not have a sort of class that a Vette will never have and that's why people buy them.

Uh, well...in the real world....where people have to use real money to buy these things, the Z06 matches (sometimes excels) the performance of all those cars you listed, at a MUCH cheaper price. That's why you see them everywhere, and not the other exotics.

However,you don't always get what you pay for, and I believe the NSX falls into that category.

Yes and what it doesn't make up for in any form of quality and class it makes up in performance.
Also, having been in and all around the track in both cars, the NSX is the more rewarding car to drive on a road course. From it's very direct steering and lack of power steering, mid engine layout, lightweightness and high revving engine it actually has a sence of connection and soul that one won't find in a brutal and somewhat more disconnected vette. Something amazing, which people will pay for.

[Lankhoss]

WHAT!!?? LMFAO, a C5Z being better than a 00' R :lmfao:... First off, the there was only 300 of them in 2000 at 54K a piece they are still worth that today, 9 years later. They also pull 1.01 g on the skid pad while the C5Z pulls .98 g. They brake from 60-0 in 109ft, same a a gallardo. Guess what you C6Z does it in... almost 120ft. And a Ford GT is a low production Supercar, msrp around 150K. Pretty decent price in my book for being in the top 10 fastest production cars. If they had produced 8000 of them in one year like they did your C6Z the price would have been greatly reduced. As for the GT 500, I don't care for them. 03-04 Cobras own them :D

Just did a quick search, feel free to post a link to a site with better numbers or direct same day comparisons with a C5 Z....I'm actually interested in this now. I found a site that had the spec listed as 109ft 60 - 0, and 160ft 70 - 0. The C6 Z is listed as 104ft 60 - 0....but in several magazine tests the numbers were anywhere between 100 - 118 ft. Most being around 108 - 110. Skid pad for the Cobra R is listed as 1.02g. They are impressive numbers, but skid pad and braking numbers don't tell the whole story of how a car handles, nor how fast it is around a track. It still weighed 400lbs more than a C5 Z06, and had 15 less HP (same HP as the 2001 model). The MSRP is listed as 55.8k.

Edit: Ok, found this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvdUhCvtlsE

Doesn't have a whole lot of info other than it beat the Cobra R by a second around the track (and the ACR by 2 seconds). The quarter mile speed for the Cobra R really surprised me, 116mph..same as the Z. I didn't post this video because the Corvette won, it's honestly the only one I've found so far lol

[Humphrizzle]

agreed..

i loved how the NSX could accelerate through turns while when i drove a z06 vette i would slide all over the place trying to power through or out of a turn.

[Lankhoss]

agreed..

Yup.....lighter car + less horsepower = easier to accelerate out of turns. Don't think it's gonna be that easy to stomp the gas in any 500hp car out of a turn, save possibly an AWD car.

[Humphrizzle]

i love the corvette.. it's a great car.. just like the styling and the performance of the NSX more.

[Lankhoss]

i love the corvette.. it's a great car.. just like the styling and the performance of the NSX more.

Yeah, to each their own. And with the NSX, I can honestly say that I completely understand someone liking it better than a Corvette. I like it better than a C4 or C5 Vette, but not a C6. My problem is it costing 80 grand. That was especially ridiculous in 1990. I don't want you to think I'm saying the NSX is a bad or unstylish car, I'm not. It's an awesome car. It's just not an 80k+ car is all....I wish it was more reasonably priced.

[Humphrizzle]

no, it is not worth 80k.. but you can find almost all of them for 20-70k

80k is from a dealer.. which i wouldnt buy a used car from a dealer.. ever.

[Lankhoss]

Talking about MSRP, not used car price.

[Humphrizzle]

MSRP doesnt really apply to a car [NSX] that's discontinued until the new model NSX is released.

[Lankhoss]

Good God man. We're comparing the NSX's price for the time, for other vehicles of the time. The last year it was produced was 2005. My car was built and purchased in 2005, although it's actually a 2006 model year. Car prices go up each year........and even newer cars that cost much less than the NSX did back when it WAS produced, outperform it by quite a margin.

It's over-priced, period. And if they are extremely affordable now as used cars, that means they don't hold retail worth a crap. So it's either over-priced, or has terrible resale.......pick your poison.

[Humphrizzle]

truth.

touche sir.

[Lankhoss]

lol

I actually kinda like the direction this thread has gone. It's made me look up some information and learn a bit more about these cars :D

[ueyedgr8tness]

I would take alex's nsx over any vette anytime of the yr, the exotic feel and the class that comes with the car is far more than any vette could ever offer.also onlike the guy where talking about'' alex's is fast and exotic....

Who is this Alex feller, and why doesn't he bring the NSX out more often?

Here you go this is my :2cents: .

NSX's are pieces of shit. Even at the track there getting past left and right. (i have seen them first hand get drilled by a stock m3 at Road A.) They are a poor mans Ferrari. They want to look cool for cheaper. Most of the NsX's used you can pick them up for around 25-30k. When you talk about comparing apples to apples there is no car like the NSX why b/c its grossly underpowered for the price tag paid. And the fact that you cant even start to get decent power with them until you slap on a jackson charger or some custom turbo setup and that will run you in the neighborhood of 10k.

And someone brought up the fact that the nsx really hasnt changed since the 90's and it was so much better then the vette. They need to do a little history check vettes have been around since the 60's and they have been basically using the same engine platform since then. NOW thats standing the test of time. :goodjob:

Yeah the NSX as sweet styling. But compared to what? You cant compare it to anything even as we have read from this thread comparing it to a vette isnt even in the same ballpark. There is nothing like it. I like the look of the nsx but for 30k i would rather buy a vette... Its 10 times better of a car. It handles better at a track or in the mountains, and it just out preforms it all around.

[collins]

u go to gwinnett tech?
Why yes... Yes I do :cheers:

[Brick]

Where the hell is all this talk of class and exotic coming from when talking about the NSX? Give me a break. It's a freaking Acura...extremely overpriced with poor performance and early 90's styling.

Let's take a look at a 2005, shall we?

Seriously, that's the amazing quality, exotic, classy interior?
Honestly, I'm more impressed with an '05 Corolla's interior.

...and I'll be damned if that doesn't look like a stretched and sleeked down 90's two door Accord with a mid-engine.

As far as power goes...a freaking Nissan Maxima in 2005 was only 25hp short of the 2005 NSX and beat it on torque by 31ft/lbs.

I'll give it handling and exclusiveness of some sort simply for the low production numbers. However, I refuse to say it's an exotic or display of class in any way. If this was the early nineties I'd be a lot nicer about it, but an '05 NSX is like Honda's overpriced polished turd.

Who is this Alex feller, and why doesn't he bring the NSX out more often?


I am Alex and I bring my car out quite a bit... Ask Marshall or Collins, I am sure they'll both verify.

This has been an interesting conversation back and forth about the NSX vs. LS1 LS2 and LS7 engines.

The NSX was a car that was ahead of its time just as the 300ZX was in the early 1990s. The NSX was never designed to be a drag racing car. It was made to be a road course car. Honda's thinking was to design a car that would beat all of the cars Ferrari sold at the time and up until 1997 or so, it did. The NSX beat the 328, 348, 355 and Testarossa 0-60 and on the track; all with Honda reliability! Where Honda dropped the ball was they didnt think more than 5 years into the future on what Ferrari might had in the pipeline which was the F360.

Honda was never aiming for the Corvette or the Mustang...it never wanted to be in the same class (sorry but its true). They wanted to build an exotic car.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/ARFNSX/1-1.jpg

Do not get me wrong, I truly respect the new C6 and C6ZO6. I have driven them and raced them both. The LS2, LS3 are incredible engines but it all depends on why you purchase your cars. Although I like the C6 platform, I do not like to look to my left and see a 50yo lady driving my same car.

I wanted to be different which is why I purchased my NSX. It is a bit more exclusive and if you see one a month, that’s a lot. How many Corvettes do you see in a given day? Again don't get me wrong, I have owned a Viper, M5, AMG MBZ and this is my third NSX. I love them and if I get rid of it, I will probably get the DBS or Vanquish. Now do you want to start a discussion on how a civic will beat my future AM? :D

If you want to know the truth, I raced Collins last summer and I got beat pretty good but then I sent my car away for some much needed horsepower and improvements. A few months later re-raced Collins and I probably beat him 3+ car lengths on my lower boost settings and bad shifting.

The price of the NSX in the early 90s was 50-60k new. Over the years the price crept up to about 88k. I paid about 60k for mine (which was about 3 years old at the time) I honestly feel after 5 additional years, I can still get about 50K for the car. Dollar for dollar, yes, it is not the best bang for the buck, the C6 wins that catagory hands down but hey, if you can comfortable afford it and you like it, then why not. BTW the cost for me to beat Collins was about 10k.

[matthewAPM]

I hate the NSX. A friend of mine had one and said it was the worst car ever. It gets lots of attention but he bought the car for performance driving and it didnt do to well.

I'll put it this way, my miata with oh 120hp or so, pulled 2 or 3 seconds at road atlanta on TWO NSX's every lap. Lots of money for something that just looks fast.

[DieselNuts]

The performance of the NSX has never impressed me. I drove one a few years back and I can honestly say that my G35 out performed it in damn near every aspect. I have a friend that has driven the same NSX and my G35 that can vouch for that statement.


All i know is the NSX when it came out was like a ferrari for under $130,000 in terms of looks and interior.
I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you on this one. The interior doesn't look all that different from an integra...

As for beating the NSX on the track, that is very believable depending on the driver. Most of the NSX owners I have come across on both the track on road drive like pu$$ies.

[ejohnson88]

I think it's funny that so many people want to bash the NSX, when if you look up the History on the NSX-R, it truely is an amazing car. And if it wasn't, why would so many companies design cars that can compete with it? Alot of those exotic car companies still today test their new models against the NSX-R which has been out of production for some time now. Here is some videos for you people to watch just to see what a NSX with a GOOD DRIVER can do. Yeah all those NSX's at Road atlanta must have had some bad drivers.... Like alot of people do... they buy the car thinking that the car is going to make them fast around the track... when it really does come down to the driver mod... haha...

I might have to disagree with this one. I would almost put money stock vs. stock, the NSX should outperform the G35 in every catagory. I could bt wrong but my past experences have shown otherwise from your statement.

[ejohnson88]

oh and you guys who want to bash the NSX some more should check out the info on this page.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acura_NSX Supposedly the 2nd gen NSX-R had a hp output of up to 320 bhp.

"The result of Honda's NSX-R effort was a vehicle that could challenge the latest sports car models on the track, despite having a base design that was more than 15 years old. For example, noted Japanese race and test driver Motoharu Kurosawa piloted a 2003 NSX-R around the legendary Nurburgring road course in 7:56, a time equal to a Ferrari F360 Challenge Stradale.[citation needed] The NSX-R accomplished this feat despite being out-powered by the Ferrari by nearly 100 bhp (75 kW) and weighing almost 100 kg (220 lb) more than the track-oriented Ferrari (at 1180kg)."


for that time, that was impressive.

[Lankhoss]

Alex,

Don't get me wrong, I am not bashing the NSX. I really love that car, and the reason I asked about you is I would LIKE to see them more often!! I do believe it was over priced, and that's honestly the only bad thing I can say about it. You have an idea in your head of the value of a vehicle, and that value I think it holds is well below the pricetag.

Other than that, I think it's a good looking, extremely balacned, ALL AROUND performance car. The fact that it's slow in a straight line doesn't mean anything. The easiest mod you can do to a car is acceleration (look at the Civics that beat down exotics, case in point).

My only "problem" I had was the story about this guy with his cocky attitude while driving one, was all. I don't look at that as a slant against the car itself. I also don't want you to think that I was saying you never come out...I've just never seen you. And I'd honestly love to take a look at that car. In fact, I'd love to ride in it...as I've never riden in one. I bet it really is a nice ride.

Let me know next time you are out, I want to check the car out!

[Lankhoss]

See, now THIS is the kind of comparison you want to make when talking about the performance of a car. 100 less hp, and weighed more.....yet beat it around The Ring? Now THAT is impressive!!!

And not to shit on this time or anything, but just for those who don't think a Corvette is "all that," the C5 Z06 did The Ring at 7:56 as well, weighing 300lbs more.

[matthewAPM]

[Whiteboy572]

you cant possibly compare a NSX to a Vette.

v6 versus v8

No TQ versus TQ

3.0l versus 5.7l

The NSX has not been changed since 1990, think about that. It has had MINOR changes like front headlights, some body mods, but the powerplant has been relatively untouched for over 12 years. It was $80,000 when it came out, and it was $80,000 the last year it was sold.

How many other supercars can claim that?

The NSX was a supercar that never had the balls the other cars in its price range had. But it was super sexy and even to this day, its a sick looking car that has stood the test of time. How many 90s Vettes still look like they have "style".

Bragging about beating an NSX is like bragging about your 500whp civic beating a ferrari.

its pretty pointless.

I think this thread is comparing apples to oranges and i LOVE my C5z and wouldnt trade even for a nsx, cause i like my red apple, c5z. I do admit the handling is a little sloppier than i would like, but like the nsx can get aftermarket horsepower to be up to par with a z06 i can also get aftermarket suspension components to make it handle great! :cheers:

[ueyedgr8tness]

No, thats another guy i know making 500+rwhp na... I still have the oe magnesium gray looking wheels. I know who your talking about cause he is always at great escape theatre when i go, his plate says "say wen"

yeah that whip is real nice,every time i see that thing i get horny:yes:

[DieselNuts]

I might have to disagree with this one. I would almost put money stock vs. stock, the NSX should outperform the G35 in every catagory. I could bt wrong but my past experences have shown otherwise from your statement.
In my case, I think it was this particular NSX. I honestly dont think it was running 100%...at least I hope not... But it was that car that gave me a sour taste about the NSX. It might have just been a bad apple :dunno:

You aren't that stupid.
:
Aaron, don't be ignorant. Alex spent alot of money to get that car where it should be and that damn nsx ROLLS OUT now. He'd surprise the hell out of you, that's for sure. Moral of the story: don't be a retard.

[Frög]

they are track cars, not race cars lol

its like an S2000, my CRX with 180whp walked all over them, but they arent made for straight line performance

Typical ricer excuse..

:D

Ignorant? Thats not ignorance, its confidence. I am confident my car will pull from that NSX, and if it doesn't then oh well. I know for sure he isn't going to go from a dig, so I'm not even worried about that. And I'm not talking shit about Alex's NSX, I'm talking shit to stay_up because that kid is fucking stupid.

[collins]

I'm just saying that little gray nsx would pull you, dig or not. There is a fine line btw confidence and ignorance. Be careful where you step ;)

Only one way to find out. Guess I'll be making a call out next week after the track.

[T.S.]

hey collins did alex beat you on your current setup??

Side bets? I'll take Alex's NSX for $100 with your car at it's current power level.

[Ronsam2006]

I say Alex's NSX would eat that Terminator for lunch, at the track, or highway.

[Lankhoss]

Is the NSX coming to SDR?

[collins]

hey collins did alex beat you on your current setup?? yes. my car hasnt changed in a while. but yeah, he beat me. woulda been worse if he was shifting properly

[collins]

Is the NSX coming to SDR? i doubt it... it would be nice to see tho...

[The BUCKY]

i doubt alex would run at the track since he still hasnt put in his clutch. would be shitty to blow out that stock clutch down there

[ARFNSX]

i doubt it... it would be nice to see tho...


I might be down at SDR, I won't know for sure until Friday but if my schedule is clear, I will be there.

On a side note, I love seeing all of my IA peeps pimpin out my car making side bets and all. I know its all in good fun :lmfao: :lmfao: :lmfao:

[collins]

ALEX GET THAT SHIT ON VID! i wanna see that thing from a dig... who's gonna drive it?

[ARFNSX]

What do you mean who is going to drive it?

Who pays the insurance?

[SmackedInATL]

ALEX GET THAT SHIT ON VID! i wanna see that thing from a dig... who's gonna drive it?
Yeah what kind of question is that?

[_Christian_]

Where the hell is all this talk of class and exotic coming from when talking about the NSX? Give me a break. It's a freaking Acura...extremely overpriced with poor performance and early 90's styling.

Let's take a look at a 2005, shall we?

http://images2.auction123.com/sizequalitypredef/a0e1b3e2-9457-4340-afe5-11b7b6a777f2/JH4NA21695S000008/12.jpg?webimage001l

Seriously, that's the amazing quality, exotic, classy interior?
Honestly, I'm more impressed with an '05 Corolla's interior.

http://images2.auction123.com/sizequalitypredef/a0e1b3e2-9457-4340-afe5-11b7b6a777f2/JH4NA21695S000008/03.jpg?webimage001l
...and I'll be damned if that doesn't look like a stretched and sleeked down 90's two door Accord with a mid-engine.

As far as power goes...a freaking Nissan Maxima in 2005 was only 25hp short of the 2005 NSX and beat it on torque by 31ft/lbs.

I'll give it handling and exclusiveness of some sort simply for the low production numbers. However, I refuse to say it's an exotic or display of class in any way. If this was the early nineties I'd be a lot nicer about it, but an '05 NSX is like Honda's overpriced polished turd.
The nsx interior is the same from 91-05. It's a fair argument to say that the interior styling is outdated, but that doesn't mean it's quality is lacking. In the 1st pic see a nice interior wrapped entirely in leather including the dash. In the 2nd pic I see a plastic/cloth, rental car inspired, econobox interior with some super duper brushed aluminum inserts :rolleyes:.

Then you compare the exterior to an accord? I think most people, enthusiast or not, will agree that the nsx has an exotic exterior unlike the humdrum appearance of an accord.

So what if a Maxima designed 14+ years later has similar power output. The Pontiac G8 GT has more power than the C5 Vette. It's cool but it doesn't really mean that much in terms of overall performance. The average car has gotten a lot more power in recent years, while the nsx remained relatively unchanged 1991-2005. Cars that were fast, aren't anymore. The nsx was an awesome car, hence a 15 year production.

It's stupid to knock down a car for the wrong reasons. The nsx was fast in it's day. It beat out many of the supercars of it's era. It was ahead of it's time with new innovations to the chassis and suspension. In addition to the performance it offered honda reliability on a supercar. The car was designed in the 80's, but it's timeless design still drops jaws and panties. Hardly the "polished turd" that you described it to be. I wouldn't consider myself to be a nsx fanboy, but I've driven a few and know a little bit about them. I'm just a little shocked at some of the ignorant comments.

[SilviaK93]

Ignorant? Thats not ignorance, its confidence. I am confident my car will pull from that NSX, and if it doesn't then oh well. I know for sure he isn't going to go from a dig, so I'm not even worried about that.

You sir are a class act. You have one of the slowest cars on this board, obviously need a driver mod, and your showing confidence in beating a boosted NSX? Correct me if I am wrong as I have been just lurking here recently so maybe I am misinformed.

I watched the 2 vidz recently posted that show the horrible spanking you received from two nearly stock cars. Nearly being relative of course. Still, those 2 cars in my opinion are not all that fast and you got walked while being on 315 DR's. Guess your like most that believe you can make up for your lack of driving skill and slap on some tires and hook. Right!

Maybe you did hook I wouldnt actually doubt it. Your car is just that slow to still have gotten beat. I almost venture to say I could give you a run for your money from a dig no problem. But then again I am not the macho guy like you who spouts out on IA all day and gets his thong all up his crack if someone says the wrong thing about his almighty Cobra.

Give it up my friend. Your car looks/sounds great no doubt, but it apparently needs some more boost and a new driver.


Oh, and if your car would have started that one night you would have seen that Alex's car would have drug you for miles. ;)

Did you read that part at all? I said if it was the earlier nineties it would be different. But, they still made the same car in 2005. 2005 is it's day and it wasn't fast in 2005, it wouldn't beat out any super cars in that era, it's behind the times in 2005. Early nineties NSX = awesome. Same car, but new - in 2005...expected to get the same reaction? Worthy of laughs...Polished turd.

x2.. I agree with everything said in this post.. The interior is fully leather wrapped!! Now days, only Porsche's and exotics have that..

[civic95]

Is the NSX coming to SDR?

SDR? That's not a track. Might as well race on an exit ramp, and save the gas.

How about a real track with turns, and some difficulty guys?

Easy there my little ricelette friend, nobody claimed it was a track or anything. But it DOES exist, and we ARE going there Saturday. Was just asking if this car was gonna be there as well...no need to jump to conclusions.

[PSINXS]

[SmackedInATL]

Thanks, I had a blast as usual.

Thank you for allowing my car time to breath. I need to take it out more often and drive it and not just once a month.

[Burnz1one]

I love the NSX, really beautiful cars, its funny how half the people bashing the car drive 240s and civics. If you dont like the NSX, dont buy one haha

[collins]

LOL thanks for the thread resurrection! So since it was brought back up, has anyone heard from the other NSX guy lately?

[yeaiwonder88]

Its been Like a week. My car is nowhere near done...I will let you know when it is.

[Sinfix_15]

I honestly wouldnt care what out ran me if i had an NSX.

[FastFrontier]

i've got a friend with a nsx that wants some... however, hes in Savannah, he said dig or roll he'd stomp all over that goat :)

[Lankhoss]

So it's been over 2 weeks since it was only supposed to be another week this NSX was down....what's the story now?
