Just comparing the wheelbase numbers from those cars is the tip of the iceberg in this discussion. At a minimum you have to look at the suspension pickup points and how the wheel travels, the spindle points in the front and rear, etc, etc, etc.Originally Posted by speedminded
I know where you're getting at but have you driven an NSX hard? I've pushed them enough to step them out in turns and I think it could benefit from a couple extra inches.
1990-2005 NSX wheel base is 99.6 inches:
Carrera GT 107.5
Nissan R390 107.1
Saleen S7 106.3
Ferrari Enzo 104.3
Bugatti EB110 100.5 in
Plus with wider bodywork comes wider wheels and a wider stance, not saying that offsets any added length but will help.
If you are comparing wheelbases then compare the width as well. The relationship between wheelbase and width will tell you a lot. Not the width of the car, the width between the front wheel mounting surfaces and rear wheel mounting surfaces.
