You can see an awd dsm launch on a NSX. I know the NSX isn't that fast for the $$$, but it appeared that the owner wasn't racing. What is your take?

turbo DSMs can get nasty relatively cheap, however it appears that the nsx didn't even give it the gas.

if you notice during the first run, the NSX killed the other car, then on off the line, the NSX didnt even launch. and the guys in the video car sound like a bunch of duech bags

nsx's aren't that slow. i believe they are mid to high 13 sec car. that's decent to me.

[dampachi]

nsxs are slow for the money. but yeah..he didn't even race the second time.

[tsugsr]

^^ they are only "slow for the money" because no one uses them for what they were built, they were not built as a drag racer. They were built as a road course killer, and thats exactly what they do, they kick some serious ass out on a real race track.

^^^ Agreed, same thing with the ITR, not the quickest in a straight line, but one of the best handling FWD cars ever made.

That's all well and good, but I have seen vette's, vipers, EVO's, STi's and the late RX7 spank this car around the track. Just think(let's not include insurance or registering)...

For the price of a new NSX at my two closest dealers, I could buy...
'05 Mustang
'04-'05 WRX STi
'04-'05 300C Hemi.

I know some could get it for cheaper(or atleast claim they can). But that is the price locally. The low $90k range.:/

I also know this is a honda forum and you won't like what I said about the NSX. And I know even though I said the RX7, vette, viper, Evo, ect. could beat it at the track, the NSX could beat all of them depending on track and conditions, also. Just too close a gap for that price. I do admit it is a nice looking car. Just can't justify the price tag.

As for one of the best handling FWD cars ever made, the SRT-4 pulls equal skidpad numbers and has great turning response, and the SVT focus, for whatever reason is a track freak. The Mini could leave them all.

Big thing about the NSX is that it is completely handmade. I don't think that any of the cars you listed are handmade from the ground up.

and that adds what? I dont care if the new pope made it with his bare hands alone that doesnt add $?0,000 to the price.

you seriously don't know...it's called quality. Every piece of the NSX being handmade ensures top notch quality.

DSMs are made with wrenches , not with "hand crafted" chop sitcks that the nsxs is made with.....

[GScivic7]

NSXs are made with chop sticks??? Really...proof please.
