I acknowledged my mistake about the NSX 1/4 mile time when I said it is 10.8, and not the 12 it does. Sorry

Re: Re: Think the current NSX is too expensive? Read this.
The NSX is a cheaply mass produced car for people who can't afford a Ferrari.[/quote]
Very funny.......NSX being Cheap or mass produced. When the NSX first showcased Ferrari didn't have a car that was as fast. The Ferrari is the Cheaper made car, Dispite the price. I'll take my NSX and you drive the Ferrari and we'll go across the country with them. I'm betting the Ferrari spends time in the garage While I just get an oil change ( But that IS the nature of the beast ). NSX owners also own or have owned other cars ( Including the forementioned Ferrari ), In case you didn't know it you do have to have SOME money to own one. A woman I know owns an NSX and her boyfriend just bought a Masarati Spyder. As far as the NSX being mass produced? Whats that you smokin'? (Can I have some? ) One person puts together all the NSX motors, The car is entirely hand built, And every car is Track Tested before it leaves the factory. In order to be among the people on the NSX team you have had to work for Honda for at least 10 years. How many Other cars have Standards like that? (cheap car?????) |

i love the nsx, but for that price, no thanks. the only time i'll think about purchasing a new one will be when im wealthy especially when i t does the 1/4 in the lo 13's. come on now, we're talking a hundred grand here, with that money i can get three awesome cars such as a camaro z28 ss or even better a corvette z06 (which is a 12 sec car for 46 grand) an s2k, a type-r and still have money left over. a used nsx, yes, a new one, im sorry.

two or three years ago motor trend or road and track did a comparison test of the 9 or 10 best and fastest cars made. guess what, on the track (not dragstrip) the nsx i believe got third, and this wasn't just any ordinary nsx but the zanardi edition nsx. can't quite recall who came in 1st and 2nd, but i believe it was one of the ferrari's and a corvette. they said the nsx handles superbly but what it was missing was what all the other cars had, POWER! the viper got like 5th or 6th because it's handling wasn't the best, but it did get first on the acceleration test on i believe. the cars were driven by a professional race car driver so it wasn't biased, i'll try to find the article and put it on here. i would still get the corvette ,s2k, and type-r over an nsx, no question about it. now i can drive change vehicles every day, wouldn't that be nice? instead of just having it sit in the garage because u don't want to add a lot of miles and worried about accidents and crap, i know this because my uncle has an nsx and he pampers her like a queen, the only time i seen him drive it is when he needs to back it out of his garage. if theres any real nsx owners out there, u know what i'm talking about.

Psst! News flash! In case you didn't know it a whole new NSX is comming out. Different motor, Different Trans.....Different CAR! They threw out everything in the current generation car (except the mid-engine) and are re-inventing it. Rumor has it that they are using a 3.5 liter engine but that could change by final production. Still "giving up" on the NSX? SHAME! |

I can show you a track in Wisconsin that a Ferrari, a ZO6, 2 lotus' and an NSX were racing. The 2 lotus' (which where set up for the track) where first around this twisty turny course, The NSX came in next closely followed by the Corvette........The Ferrari was a full lap behind these cars because the brake fluid had gotten so hot that they had to purge it a few laps back. (true story). One other thought. I live in the North so my NSX is out normally about 7 months a year. I don't take it out on Cold or rainy days. lets face it, Its hard to admire a pretty car if it needs a wash. That said, I still managed to put 7,000 miles on it last year. My goal is it still have that car with 200K miles on it. So, Yes......I drive the $hit out of it! |

if speed is what people want, it would just be alot easier and more cost effective to swap motors with a civic or crx with a highly built b18b or c and turbo the crap out of it to get 10's and 11's at half the price, even less if done right. |

I think the new HSC was supposed to cost like $130,000. In 10 years, they'll still cost $50,000 and only have 300hp.

I'm pretty sure there's some kits out there for $8,000. Turbos aren't very popular. Many more people tend to supercharge them for some reason. http://www.factorxengineering.com/ sells their FX500 turbo kit for the c30a for $18,500 (includes shipping of your car) and you get a bulletproof 500rwhp engine (I believe using a t3/t4). That is pricey but they build race engines...
