Dusted a NSX
 

Dude and his chick messed with me and my chick in a NSX. I messed with them back. Dude tried to keep up, but, was an easy kill. For the money, those things aren't very quick. :cry:

Nice Kill! They are not quick and for the $$$$$$ spent, not worth it.

They're all suspension. Now put in a built LS1 into it... :devil:


...but yeah, not worth their cost. :nono:

are they about as fast or faster than stock ls1's on the highway???

Not anywhere near. More like very high 13's.

i believe the newer NSXs trap 105-107mph, and are good for low 13s.

don't be so stupid. If people are willing to pay then they ARE worth it.

Some of the earlier ones where not so quick (There where at least 2 different specs of engine). Also they need to be driven HARD to get the power from them, which many people will not do.

Take a look at this article, it has a NSX pulling a 1/4 mile: 13.17 sec. @ 107.65 mph beating an SS and only slightly behind a Formula. Click here

The newer models are quicker still, and have been clocked at 0-100mpg in 10.6 seconds. Thats not far off a new Z51 C6 Corvette.

... pretty harsh reply there, mate ... sound like an angry American (Toby Keith) ... LOL!

... anyway, enjoyed beating the pants off the NSX ... it was a new one and slow as shit.

Cheerio :chug:

I'd love to get 100 mpg especially with gas prices as they are :D

IMO, they are overpriced and need to be refreshed, I know they have made a few changes over the years but nothing major, I think even the new ones look old school. I have seen a few run hard and for the price I can name a few cars that would be way ahead of them. Anyways its just my 02 cents, I used to love them but, now its just another car to me.

soz didn't mean to sound harsh. And nice kill.

But all in all you should be quicker having a modified 5.7 litre V8 compared to a stock 3.2 n/a V6?

All I was trying to say is, different cars are designed for different things. I know of many cars that are much faster than a NSX or your car which don't cost the Earth. But there are also plenty of cars that cost mre than a NSX and are slower.

Different cars, different goals. Remember round a track it would probably have been a different story (drivers permitted of course).

hehe, every article I have read, said that they should have a v8 under the hood for that price. I think they said 2007 was going to be a v8. I will see if I can find the article.

Nice kill BTW!

let me guess where all these articles from American mags? lol.

you bet! ;)

Can't blame them, it's not like honda doesn't have a V8. Of course, nothing in their current lineups, but they have been racing with them for years. I bet you will see them respond. Imagine a 400hp nsx. :devil:

Why are you here? :confused:

Although I thinnk it would be cool to see another V8 out there, I doubt it would be as successful outside the US.

America the land of the V8, where they are even have food mixers powered by a flat head.

Which I personally think is GREAT!

why are you???

I like American muscle/performance cars. Esp the fbody's so why not.

If V8's are such a burden in your eyes, then what's your view on Ferraris, BMW's, Benz, and many other fancy, high-dollar, all-around performance cars with V8's?

Or is it just AMERICAN V8's that drive you import lovers crazy?

... agreed .... and it's a compliment that you like the American muscle cars ... thanks for posting.

There slow, you just found that out now?

Ehhh, I meant what are you doing in this forum. The guy posts a STREET RACING KILL, and you bust on him cause "different cars are meant to do different things blablabla" .... please.
:eyes:

This is the STREET RACING / KILLS section ... there is indeed an entire AUTOX section, where you can go whine about how one car handles better the another car. In this section, however, that discussion is worthless. This section is mearly about who gets from point A to point B faster … period.

P.S. What's with the implication that an "american racing magazine" would be inferior to any other magazine?? The last I checked that "popular mechanics" magazine which performed the test you referenced in your previous post, is an "american magazine" (it's actually written right here in New York).
