Acura NSX

[neonmike22]

One thing about the NSX is that while it has a lot less horsepower than some of it's contemporaries like the viper, it has a high redline and short gearing which makes it accelerate a whole heck of a lot quicker than just "any" 290hp car.

well the NSX may not pack a lot of hP it still has a fair amount and it looks sick so i love the car, but well RT/10's cost less than a NSX but only by like 5K, but GTS' cost like 90K+

The NSX isn't build for straight line performance, it is built to be an all-around performer. That is why Hp wasn't Acura's focal point while engineering the NSX. They didn't just throw a big engine into an oversized piece of metal and put wide tires on it.

Dont forget it is over 10 years old, so it was a better performer then the more expensive Ferrari's of it inception.

The R/T-10 will run you about $50,000 and a GTS will cost you about $75,000. The NSX is WAY too over priced. I don't really care that, yes, it is a good looking car, it is a pretty good performer. But not for $85,000 grand. Hell, my car has more torque than the NSX does. And just because it a Honda does not make it more reliable than an American made care. Everyone makes their shit, including Honda. A Viper will walk all over an NSX all day long for about $10,000 grand less. For that matter what about the Z06? It costs about $40,000 grand, I think, and it can walk all over an NSX and is still very drivable around town. I just think that paying that much money for so little is a waste of money, sort of like the $90,000 grand Slylines. Thats just my opinion though.

Wow, that does make the NSX look overpriced. I'd still fall for it, though.
