HSC looks great over the aging skyline, what are the most recent "rumored" specs for it?

HSC looks beautiful. I doubt honda will ever make the mistakes that they made when they built the NSX.

Other than that though it's a nice car.

when the NSX was first released, it did have 25ish less bhp than the then current ferrari 348 but was lighter, cheaper, just as fast and better handling.

I'm sorry but if I'm getting ready to drop almost 100 grand on a car I want it to be a little quicker than in the low 13s. I know when it was first introduced it was around 60 grand but I've heard of dealers being able to jack it up to well over 100 grand.

Now around this time why should I spend that much on a car I'll never take to a track? Why not buy a ZR-1 Corvette? How about a Supra that's just as fast for half the price?

I'm now downing the car, I think it's nice and like the style but I like my speed too.

Re: new honda hsc or the new nissan skyline gtr?

i very highly doubt honda ever intended for the NSX to shatter any speed records. it was a display case for japanese innovation and technology and in that, it succeeded. it was ahead of its time when it came out and 10+ years later, it's still reasonably competitive against more expensive, newer and more powerful cars. scratch that, it's not reasonably competitive, it IS competitive. not the fastest, and won't get you around a track the fastest but it's never last place either. give credit where credit is due,. the nsx is a supercar you can drive to work every day like an accord or civic.

back to the original topic. hard to say seeing as neither cars are on the road yet. and last time i read, the HSC was a dead project. i'm a honda guy and have some bias but i very much look forwad to tthe new gtr.
