but v8's are just fine
u want the ole C32a back in it?
according to your explanation.....White cars don't require physics?^^
Yeah what the hell is wrong with a V10?
LOL @ the pics of the Skylines the R35 IS HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
lol alot of japanese owners are complaining that its too wide for the regular streets...lol but that has been true with alot of new cars in overcrowded cities..
lolol
Wow, this thread is practically WL material.
C32 is much better than V10
fanboi ¿¿??
Nothing to explain.. Just dislike the idea of a new v10 motor in a production car. Just looks stupid, I like the Mid engine in the former NSX, The car just looked 10000 times better before.
I dont like the new one.. just like i dont like the new GTR. Looks stupid to me.
I hear the new nsx will be faster than the gtr, track wise. that should be interesting.
Yeah, I know.
You see, you say that.....but it's just not quite right to Honda's history. You see Honda has always been about efficiency. And the Honda system was make more with less.
That does not mean more with less cylinders. NO.....More with less displacement. Here's what i'm on about.
60's - the 1.5 liter limit exist in Formula 1.
So what do you do?
You make a 1.5 liter V12.....An engine which many say is what Lamborghini used to make their great V12.
It gets even more extreme in motorcycle racing.
So the 500cc championship for grand prix bikes is set at 500cc....Obviously.
And all the winning bikes are two strokes but you want to stike with a 4 stroke. And there is a limit of only 4 cylinders.
So what do you do?
You make a 4 cylinder with oval pistons, 8 valves per cylinder and 32 vales overall.

I'd rather the classic
Do you have a HUGE photo database organized and all ready for quick photo detailed replies? lolYou see, you say that.....but not it's just not quite right to Honda's history. You see Honda has always been about efficiency. And the Honda system was make more with less.

SHOW ME WHAT THE NEW NSX LOOKS LIKE SON!
look smart the HSC car was cancelled 4 years ago because honda knew it was not to sell.

You need to do your homework before you come in here and talk like you know something. I mean really???? A C32 vs a highly efficient v10 or v8? WEhat's wrong with you?
I do agree with you, Honda has always been great at being efficient, but with a V10 coming as a production model, while never having a production model V8.
What is the displacement for the new NSX, anyway?
Owned
the HDC was in Gran Turismo 3...
now, i definately agree with JITB that the skylines have always been ahead of the curve. i also agree that the new gtr is a very quick car. however, i think the new gtr is overrated. i got the same reaction from the evo guys when i trash talked the evo X. i don't like the fact that car companies are starting to take away the driver connection with the car.
i specifically bought an AP1 because I wanted the stay with the throttle cable system and have good tunability. granted, i want to have a great lap time, i would rather have a slightly slower lap time and enjoy every minute knowing i made the car perform the way it did than to win with computers guiding my way.
all concepts i see are ugly.
so is the supposed powerplant.
Honda has already sworn to never make a production V8. Why? but they blow by it and continue for a production V10.
I do my homework. I research everything I preach.
"Honda is rumored to be testing a new aluminum-block V-8 in the Ridgeline pickup truck. The V-8 is in the 4.2- to 4.4-liter range, with VTEC and cylinder shutoff, and is slated to appear first the next Acura RL, a 2011 model launching in 2010. Honda also is adding the engine to the next-generation Ridgeline, slated for 2011 as a 2012 model. The exact configuration is unknown, but given the displacement, it's not based on the 60-degree 3.5- and 3.8-liter V-6s, so it's probably a 90-degree configuration, typical of eight-cylinder engines. Honda engineers take up the V-8 project as they complete work on a V-6 turbodiesel. It isn't designed just for the European market, which has embraced Honda's 2.2-liter diesel four, but also would provide needed low-end torque for the Ridgeline and Pilot SUV. Low-sulfur fuel required in the U.S. from 2007 will make the engine viable and will launch about the same time as a Mercedes-Benz diesel assault on our market. Honda also is reportedly working on a hybrid-powered Ridgeline for the 2009 model year."

Video of ugly ass NSX.. sounds great, more like an F1 car and doesnt seem like a comfortable 100 thousand dollar car.
WOULD RATHER HAVE 2004 NSX.
^X2
I'll take this Honda V8...
not a production model.
yeah, honda's better than nissan.. definitely.
No datbase needed. Cause it's all in my head. All i do is google image the pics i need.
This is true
You gotta explain this. It's like me saying that the RB26 is better than the VR38
What exactly is the problem you have with a many piston setup. You do realize that it would be better for a VTec system as well for very high rpms. Like above 8-9K rpm. Just look at the new M3.
you obviously dont because your making a terrible case for yourself.
That sounds very plausible coming from you.
next -gen honda legend/ Acura RL will be or is supposed to be V8...along with the ridgeline.
You're looking for a larger argument than there is.
i just hate how all new cars are becoming so unreal and boring. you cannot possibly find any parts for a v10 honda NSX. New cars are becoming very very boring lately.. I wish they'd just quit evolving.
<---- guy who cant cope with change!
yea i know, but its close! minus the mugen craziness..
I thought those plans were scraped due to the rising costs of fuel?
