The nsx is BS....By the way...how much does that TRV weigh? With only 290lbs ot torque and 350bhp it must be pretty damn light if its truly that fast. It doesnt make any sense to me. The TVR is 0-60 in 4.4 compared to 0-60 in 4.1 secs with the vette. And the TVR is something like 0-100 in 9.5 secs compared to the vettes 0-100 in 9.5 secs. The TVR ATE the vette...Doesnt make sense to me. I think that brit didnt know how to drive.

It's not surprising the TVR won,
The T350 weighs 1060 kg, 350hp, 0.33hp/kg
The C6 weighs 1470 kg, 400hp, 0.27hp/kg
TVRs are really no joke when it comes to all out acceleration and handling. It is still surprisingly the NSX won though. I would have put the C6 as coming in second.

Still doesnt make sense to me...Like I said before...TVR 0-60 in 4.4...vette 0-60 in 4.1
Tvr 0-100 in 9.5...vette 0-100 in 9.5. Even if the TVR starting to pass at top end it wouldnt be like 10 cars shown in the video.

It makes sense when the driver is possibly the biggest
there is. Was anyone else doing a burn out when the green flag dropped? Was anyone else shifting like a 75 year old grandma? How about complaining that the clutch is too tough to disengage/engage?

It's VERY staged. An NSX can't even beat a C5 let alone a ******' C6. And what kind of stupid way is that to determine which car is faster?!?! How about instead of 4 different drivers, 4 different reaction times, 4 different launching techniques, and 4 different shifting techniques (which by the way were pathetic in the C6), they take it to either a 1/4 mile strip where it's time by when you start moving, not your R/T, or only 1 driver tests all cars and determines which is fastest. Good God that drag race "test" was so gay it's mind-boggling. ******' British pansies.
did the nsx ever get the dohc vtec v8...i heard something about this somewhere...and that seems like it would be a fairly nice engine...but yeah that show was ridiculous nonetheless..
