under 150K supercar comparo

[burntrice087]

1)Ford GT(MSRP price)
2)Lamborghini Gallardo
3)Dodge Viper
4)Ferrari 360 Modena
5)Acura NSX


I prefer the Acura NSX because its the best bang for the buck and it has wayyyy better handling than any of the other cars...It's light weight and it looks incredably sexy....Plus it has VTEC which can beat anything

lmfao at the vtec comment, Ford GT over all those.

[Neutrino]

the tread title sais under 150k but the poll claims under 200k so which is it?


Oh and I hope you were joking with the NSX comment.

I'm gonna have to go with the Ford GT. Not that you can really get it for under 150K...but if you could, it'd wipe the floor with all of these cars.

In all fairness to Ferrari, I think a more appropriate car would have been the 360 CS and not the Modena. That has been proven to be a very close race. (Ford GT and the 360 CS)

With that in mind I would have to say GT because I'm a Ford fanboy and it's a little less likely to be seen on the road. Even in the Detroit area, 360s aren't horribly uncommon. (For 100k+ cars) Now I'd venture to say that very few if any are the CS, but still a normal person can't tell the difference. So GT for the the rarity factor.

Same here.

As for the poll, give me the 360 Modena hands down.

[mason_RsX]

I picked a Ford???? I picked a Ford!!!! yes a really like the GT its a fantastic car that easily keeps up with the big boys, is functional, and keeps to the heritage (minus the 40)...hey V-tec just kicked in! to bad the race ended 10 mins ago...

[burntrice087]

give me one good reason why 0-60 in 5.0 seconds flat is not fast!!...NSX has 280-290 and can run circles and waffles and pancakes around all those cars lets review thier specs

NSX-0-60 5.0s
Gallardo-0-60 3.9s
GT-3.9s
360 Modena-4.4s
Viper SRT10-4.1s

Yes because 0-60 is what these care are know for. And where did you pull those numbers anyway. The "We publish the slowest car numbers" magazine? Or the "I'm pulling the numbers convenient to my argument" magazine?


The modena is a flat-low 4 sec car, the srt-10 is high 3 sec car etc....

And you are severily deluded if you think the NSX "can run circles and waffles" around those cars.


And you still haven't answered my question is it the under 200k comparo or under 150k?

[FordJunky]

the gt is the best by far, no competition. and the nsx is not the best bang for the buck, that cars a friggin rip if ive ever seen one, the only thing that car has going for it is light weight. if acura would pump out AT LEAST 400 hp it would be worth buying.


and also, has anyone seen topgear where the nsx beat the vette in the quarter mile? wtf was that all about, i know for a fact an nsx wouldnt touch a vette, them britts need to learn how to drive (no offense but it had to be bad driving)

[YogsVR4]

I'd rather have the Ferrari.

[burntrice087]

for some reason i dont know to change poll names..but its 150K

Back on topic....I believe those 0-60 times are fairly accurate...The SRT-10's 0-60 was recorded by Car&driver as 4.1s and R&T recorded it as 3.9s

[DinanM3_S2]

I'd probably go for the Ford GT as well. Pretty much every comparo ever that included the GT vs. 360 vs. GT3 or 911 Turbo has resulted with a win for ford. I like the styling of the 360 more, but theres no argueing against the times the Ford puts down. However, it appears the Ferrari is quickly pulling together the car that should beat the Ford GT, the F430. One of the biggest reasons the 360 cant match the GT is the massive power difference, however the F430 has about 490hp, which will put it under 4.0s for 0-60. If the F430 were in this comparo I'd take that otherwise...

1) Ford GT
2) 360 Modena
3) Gallardo
4) NSX
5) Viper (I just don't like this car)

[aznxthuggie]

well i heard the ford gt has a lack of traction control and alot of that stability related things.. but its still good for the price, the gallardo and the modena are nice.. the viper.. i duno i dont like vipers the nsx is good.. but are you that ignorant? or are u being sarcastic?

[burntrice087]

The NSX has the most refined VTEC system in any Honda/Acura model......simply put it Valve timing is the replacement for displacement and thats why the NSX's 280HP give it a distinct advantage over the non-VTEC cars. whats it lacks in accerlation,it dominates over the other cars in handling and reliability
