Nsx R vs Viper Srt 10

Nsx vs Viper Srt 10? Which would you say is the better track car??

[DinanM3_S2]

Im having a kinda tough time with this one. I dont like the Viper and at all. It just doesnt handle well enough. Dodge put too much money under the hood and not enough on the rest of the car. The NSX is getting old, and has been outclassed by its competition since its debut over 10 years ago. It handles great and is really light, but theres just not enough power there. Therefore I think I might just have to go with the Dodge because it would destroy the NSX on the straights. The SRT10 is about 10 years newer then most of the NSX.

However... Honda is in the process of developing a new NSX that should be much better competition.

Yea I heard its supposed to compete with the new 430 modena. btw do u kno when the 430 is supposed to be realeased???

rumors fellas, just rumors. now there's rumors that honda has axed the HSC concept (and the NSX completely after 2004) and instead will be coming out with a roadster/coupe to compete with the mercedes SL series and bmw Z8. which in my opinion is a better idea than a new NSX or a replacement. love the car but with the success the mercerdes SL is seeing, maybe honda/acura would see some money doing tha tinstead. i've learned not to believe any rumor about what honda's future plans are. i'll believe what i see when i see.

so that i won't hijack the thread, i voted for the NSX-r. since the question asked which is a better track car, i have to go with the nsx-r. but if the question were to ask which is the better drag strip car, well then you all know which would win that comparo

[kman10587]

Honda needs to axe the supercar idea all together. No one outside of Japan is willing to pay over $50,000 for a Honda.

[vette_7t9]

an NSX is not a proper supercar, and will never be a proper supercar. A good sports car, yes. But not a supercar. The design is awesome, but it should've never been put to compete in the super car arena. And this comparison is stupid. Of course the SRT10 would own it. Shouldve pitted an NSX vs. Porsche or something.

Well I believe the only thing the NSX really is lacking in comparison to other supercars, is power. Honestly making power really isn't all that difficult, just ask Mercedes about that. If Honda decided to go ahead with a new NSX and it had around 450HP, I think it would seriously cause Ferrari, Porsche, and the Viper some trouble. I know about the HP agreement in Japan, but it's time to move on from that, and start getting the true potential out of these cars.

Then why did it scare the fuck out of Ferrari and Porsche back in the late '80's?

Car and driver clocked it @ 4.2 sec. The noble wooped its ass hehehe.
I'd still take the nsx more upgrades . Signal nsx = woosh

[Layla's Keeper]

Little company in Texas called Hennesey, another in Indiana called Lingenfelter, and another down (I believe) Georgia way called SVSi would disagree with you that there's more mods for the NSX available.


Facts are facts. The Viper wades around on the NSX. Hell, look at Speed World Challenge! The lone NSX in the field, campaigned by Honda powerhouse Realtime, needed a Vortech supercharger to make the power needed to keep up with the more or less stock ACR Viper Bobby Archer ran.

They shelved the car not to long after the Champion Audi RS4's showed up. Petey Cunningham flat out said "We cannot develop the car any further. It's no longer competitive."

Do we even need to mention the factory Viper Competition Coupe that slams the door shut on 360GTC Modenas and 911GT3 RSR's for about 100k LESS?

[vette_7t9]

exactly from those specs the vip handles better too.

[ac427cpe]

i agree with octagon, z06 all the way!

or SC LT1

but, the problem is that the viper has been revamped, and the nsx is still more or less the same car it was in the late 80's.

i'd take a NSX RACE CAR, not streetcar, over a viper RACE CAR. but, base for base (or racing editions) the viper should be faster.



but this is the car though

1985/93/04 mr2 mk1.5
0-60 mph: ~4.5
0-100 mph: ?
1/4 mile: 11.6
skidpad: hang on!
top speed: dunno, bangs rev limiter in 5th
braking: eyes out the front of your head
slalom speed: tell u next week ;-)

base price: 650hrs of work at $60 an hour if you can find a shop to make you one

eh, sorry, work in progress... it'll be filled out as they get done

[nbw]

thank you Layla's Keeper.
The vipers handling seems to be really underrated by quite a few people(much like quite a few US sports cars these days).
I voted Viper!
