RSVDon Posted July 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Meh. NSX's are cool, but not $90,000 cool. Especially when a new Lotus is $70k, and it's the epitome of the "lightness = quickness" design philosophy, making the NSX look like an Accord in comparisonThe HSV (already mentioned) is sex on wheels. Youtube some videos of them testing it at Suzuka and screaming at 10k. I'll wait while you change your pants. I've been following that car for the last few months ever since I read about it on Jalopnik.Considering you can't even buy an NSX new anymore, I don't think you'd have to worry about the $90k pricetag.

Fonzie Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) ...making the NSX look like an Accord in comparisonSpeaking of which.... Wifey's Accord 3.0 makes 240-250hp, which is only 40-50 shy of what it says that NSX makes. The 3.5 makes even more... 270hp Edited July 29, 2010 by Fonzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZIXXER9R Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 yes the new engine make more power why are you comparing 10-18yr old technology to technology of today look at the 95 vette makes 300hp the new impala makes that mark and the new v6 camaro makes 306hp thats like saying my new car makes more power then your 69 camaro and my car is only a v6 well no shit technology has come along way even in a 10 year span Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawi kid Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 if you want to watch a good documentary about the nsx and all the other R cars honda/acura built its called "legend of the type R" i have always dreamt of owning an nsx but stark reality is i never will so i settled for an integra type R and i love it! super fun car!!!

Steve Butters Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 ^ i drove a 300whp turbo teg once...it was a pretty fun little car lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 yeah mines stock except for the msd ignition i wanted to keep it as original as possible. i read a long time ago that one out three have been stolen so that really narrows the field of actual type R's. i have a 2000 and that year they made 2000. whats cool is how everyone is individually numberd right one the center console.

TSB67 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I drove one for a weekend and all I could think of was Winston Wolf from Pulp Fiction."Jules, you ride with me. Vincent, you follow in my Acura... Now I drive real fucking fast, so keep up. I get my car back any differently than when I gave it, Monster Joe's gonna be disposing of two bodies."
