I don't know if it's a repost, but this guy really must have been really confident in his skills, transforming and NSX into something priceless.

that looks pretty fuckin cool... expecially since it was all done custom! but why an NSX... personally i dont like them from the start, its still a honda! and they cost way to fuckin much! but anyways the kit IMO makes it look 100% better!
thats such a disgrace to Ferrari for the moron that put Ferrari's name on a NSX!

You're right they don't have much power to begin with, but the handling sure as fak makes up for it on the race track.
If I was a billionaire, an NSX would be on my top 10 list of cars to buy - but still, no comparison to the F50 of course.

Handling? The latteral acceleration of an NSX is .89 g... Same as my miata.
I'd much rather have a third gen rx-7 that pulls a .98 for half the price. Then with the other $45K I can spend it on a hot pink paint job... :naughty:

Hate on NSX's all you like for performance/price (I agree), but they are sexy cars, and an F50 conversion is a horrible thing to do to one. That video was awsome though, of course it was an NSX you can't buy in the States.

Yeah i wouldn't quite say price vs performance, I'd say price vs hp.
It performs quite well on a race track as you can see, it's not made for drag racing...stock.

The cockpit is too narrow for the body, and the ass end is really boxy. The fronts not to bad but the whole car just looks off.

Over here the NSX doesn't perform as well as a Porsche 911 and costs a helluva lot more. I know what I'd pick.
ThatRoundHeadedKid
08-22-2004, 07:38 PM
The transformation wasn't a bad job at all from the start. Some parts of the body just need to be a little bit more rounded and curved. I also heard someone say the rear was a bit too boxy, and I do agree. But other than that, poor NSX.
Racing Video: The NSX is a hot car and has a great style and look that is classic, nostalgic but never aging in my opinion. The reason for its jacked up price is because of how rare it is, and how little Acura manufactures them. I think the Honda NSX outsells the Acura version, correct me If I am wrong. The driver of the NSX also said that the engine overheated. It's no doubt that Acuras aren't the greatest in performance. But it is one of the most powerful V6s out there in stock, next to the Porsche and Subaru Boxer 6 engines, if they were to compare. But that 3.2L 290HP V6 is enough to make that car go 0-60 in less than 6-seconds, again correct me if I am wrong. That car is more for your weekend scenic drives through the mountains than on the race track like those Lambos.

Yeah, even though the porsche is more powerful, I'd still pick the NSX because it really is so rare. I think I've only seen about 5-10 so far on the street. I just saw two ferrari modenas within the last couple of days.
Plus, the porsche doesn't make heads turn like the NSX does.

A porsche turns more heads than an NSX because most of the general population doesn't know what an NSX is. NSX's are pretty unassuming too, having been beside one and not noticing it untill it was turning off.
damir831
08-23-2004, 12:08 PM
Umm, I'm sorry, I see at least 5-10 Carreras, 5 M3s and a ferrari every day where I work. I'm sure there are more that I don't see.
They're so common now where I live, but then again, I don't know where you live.
So far I've seen more Ferraris than NSXs and every time I saw an NSX it looked like nothing else on the road. Don't even pay attention to Porsches anymore.

Many people can also notice the NSX more than a Porsche, because when they take a look at one, they don't know what it is in the first place (for people who don't know cars well). A Porsche may turn heads because they're more popular and more wanted throughout people today. NSXs can turn more heads than Porsches because not many peopl have seen them, and many people question what they are.

I might also mention, that the NSX I saw was the first ever in person, and it was still unassuming. Most people around here will see it and think it's a corvette.
Don't say that they wont, here in kentucky people are ignorant as all hell about cars.
Ever seen a kitted cavalier confused as a mustang by a group of at least 4 people?

The NSX is a good car, but definetly not worth 90k, I'm sure we can all agree on this. If you had $100k to spend, would you get the NSX? I don't even like domestics, but I'd choose a Corvette z06 over the NSX, 405 hp, a hell of a lot more torque, a full G on the skidpad (1.0-1.1 gs), and you have another 30-40k you can work with on suspension and power.

If I had the access to moulding/shaping machinary I'd be doing stuff like that too.But for 100k i'd be building up a muscle car with a big block with all the trimmings.Kicking lotsa cars. i.e most imports.But thats wat i'd do.BTW i live in aus and if i saw a NSX i'd laugh and think wat a waste of good money.
