Ok it's a nice day in a long time so I take the formula for a drive, on the highway going at about 60 this beautiful NSX pulls next to me...idk about the year since I don't have too much knowledge about them other than that they were in the same class as vettes and such.

so we go for a friendly run at about 60 im auto with just a catback and him no idea but we go to about 115 and I had him for about a car length im not gaining and he's not moving from my rear bumper.

So can anyone with knowledge about these cars tell me was he just messing with me? If he wasn't than the victory was short lived after a gt500 put about a bus length on us after the race. Always bigger fishing there lol.

270ish hp out of the 3.0L V6. Not that impressive in a straight line, but it was designed for the track (the kind with corners).

Still though they're not worth $50,000+

lol ok so it was a legit kill then? I mean he had a exhaust Atleast because it was definitely loud , I just thought he was toying with me since I just read they could have went for $70,000 which is about as much if not a bit more than a zo6 is...looks really nice tho lol

NSX is pretty slow on a roll. Still would rather have one over my T/A though lol.

Black_Beard

Damn seriously? Maybe he had more mods than I thought...I didn't think I'd even win to be honest...I understand it's a road course beast but to cost what it cost and be that slow is kind of a let down than...

Yeah they are for sure lookers with not a lot of go. Nothing on the road looks like them though that's for sure.

Black_Beard

And for the price is rather have a zo6 hahaha

Black_Beard

What I don't understand is how it's in the same class as the z06 and loses on the course and drag and from what I can see even gets worse gas mileage, how the hell is the price justified? Is it for guys that just want something different even tho it gets blown away by cars in its class?

I don't want anyone thinking I'm trashing them because I'm sure they are awesome cars and look cool and exoctic. And I see they are coming out with the new one but I'm sure the vette will eat that too!

It was Japan's first serious mid-engined supercar. In 1990 it was amazing, but they haven't really changed it at all in the 15+ years it was in production so by today's standards it's OK. You're paying more for the nostalgia and looks rather than the performance at this point.

Those cars are mostly circuit cars. But they are geared crazy!

Black_Beard

Good on Honda but dumb as **** for buyers looking for cars that can actually perform with cars in its class.

automach, you just couldnt resist the gt100 thingy could you lol. no way a 07 gt500 can put a bus on anything.

Black_Beard

You have me confused with someone else...and a 2013 gt500 with obvious work done can...please don't troll.

Please sell all your furds....they make you too sad and angry.

NSX came out in 1991, so think about that time frame when judging performance (C4). Not much changed in the later years.

Not worth the price but people are willing to pay obviously.

Like the zr1?

LightningTeg

ZR1 a bit faster but not huge. Prices comparable.
