only a true 240sx owner would say a 5.0 would beat an nsx around the track.
your 5.0 cant even hang with my z32 in the turns....hell you cant hang with my early 80's 200sx in the turns...

only you NASCAR derps would say a Vette is more of a legend than an NSX.
Your vettes were being taken out by 300zx's since the first production year.....

Half of you fuckers talking shit, have never even driven anything close to a REAL "supercar" yet alone could handle one on or off the track. Fuck you, you cant even spell Supercar.

For how it was made, its looks, and its achievements in its "era" YES dickbags, the NSX is a supercar.......
....fucking benchracers sometimes....

For the people that say a C5 corvette would beat an NSX on the track.



C6 yeah, not a C5. In fact it's embarrassingly slow for the numbers it has.

!Zar!

NSX is about as sports car as a mr2.

The c5 did the Nordschleife in 7:56

The NSX did the Nordschleife in 8:16.15

The NSX-R did the Nordschleife in 7:56:73

Eat a dick

1. A new 5.0 would rape the shit out of any NSX sold here in america. Your Z32 is not faster than a 5.0, nor is your 200sx. Yea a Z32 TT may have been faster than a C4 vette, but they are total pieces of shit. A Z32 does not compare to a C5 at all.

2. No one said a vette was more of a legend than a NSX, they said its faster.

3. It is not a super car, its an exotic. You want some examples of super cars from the 90's? Testarossa, Diablo, McLaren F1, F50, XJ220, CLK GTR, R390...

4. You're a retard.

thats a normal c5, get a Z06 on there.

There is nothing super about a nsx.

It is sporty.

Sport car yes, super car, no.

And neither will an NSX...because it's not a super car. Compared to period correct cars like the ZR1, Viper, 964 turbo, Diablo, Testarossa, etc...it was still slow. If I take a Camry V6, and put in a gold crankshaft and platinum rods...it's still a plebian ass Camry V6.

From road and track's first review of the nsx

"With a 0-60-mph sprint of 5.7 seconds and quarter-mile dash of 14 seconds flat, Honda's exotic has shown that it deserves a place in that stratospheric performance league of sports/GT cars. Stopping distances are among the shortest we've ever recorded, courtesy of the NSX's 11.1-in. vented disc brakes and 4-channel anti-lock braking. But the way its performance can be so easily tapped in real-world conditions is even more impressive."

Lolcats. You can find an E36 m3 that will match that performance for 7 grand.

The NSX might look exotic...but there's no sense of occasion. The people who are driving the price up are penny pinching misers who grew up with Civics and lust after the ultimate Honduh, and the cheap maintenance that is associated with the brand.

Might as well buy a Fiero kit car.

The Murcielago was in production for 9 years, and still looks modern. It could have easily done another 5...but Lamborghini isn't stupid. They don't design a car and produce it well into obsolescence...like Honda (Both S2000, and NSX).

Omarius Maximus

That's real scientific. Lemme get a crew of nationalistic xenophobes together, and give them a bunch of cars. We'll see how well the "foreign" cars perform.

Oh, they gave us a Corvette to test as well? Let's have the quadriplegic with down syndrome drive that one.

BTW, those cars are all borrowed. The Ferraris and other exotics are always slowest, because they are babying those things out of fear.

Omarius Maximus

It's about aura, sound, presence, performance, and emotion. Even if a Ferrari becomes obsolete, it will always be appealing. Because it's bespoke and truly special.

Walperstyle

Fanboy Thread.

Most people here have never driven a Corvette, NSX, or any Ferrari...

Opinions are null and void.

The NSX will never be a performance bargain. It's a dynamic wonder, but certainly not up to the task of lapping race tracks with the current sports cars and the rarity factor will always keep prices high.

C5 Z06 is the supercar bargain, regardless of the stereotypes. On R-compounds and race pads, the car is an absolute beast.

996 C2 is the European high-end sports car bargain.

E39 M5 is European high-end supersaloon bargain.

Evo IX MR has held its value surprisingly well, but is a very good car and capable of very fast lap times with minor mods.

VNG704

Nsx reminds me of an e30 m3. Costs too much for what it is on paper. I'd love to own one though, for its semi rarity and pure coolness.

Darren

whether it's a supercar or not, it obviously invokes quite a debate, and in most cases a dream.

Whether that is a good dream or not is up to the dreamer, but it's obvious that there's no end to the conversation.

Personally, i love the looks of the car, and would say that if you do as well, who cares if everyone else likes it / doesn't like it, or approves of your purchase, go for it!

If we were smart, we'd all be buying Prius' or electric cars with no soul, but amazing financial benefits, and not messing around with sports cars.

Cars, especially enthusiast cars, are about the feeling they invoke, and about the $25k cost, jeez.. i spent more on my Versa... i'd say the NSX is a pretty good buy!... except for the lack of kids' seats lol

driftsucky

I will still stop and stare at a clean NSX if I see one (and occassionally, I do). I will not do that for a Vette unless there is a Z somewhere in its title. That said:
The NSX is not a supercar. Never was. It was exotic and still is, hence it's cost. Both the Mustang 5.0 and the C5 Corvette will walk all over an NSX. The new 6cyl Mustang would give it a run for it's money in cornering AND straight line performance.

Nobody who buys an NSX should buy it for performance. You buy it because it's iconic. It's one of the cars we dreamed about as boys watching Wierd Science or Revenge of the Nerds or something. It's still sexy as hell, but if you're looking for performance, there's a literal sh!tton out there at a better value that stomps mudholes all up and down the ahole of the NSX. Just sayin.

I <3 NSX's. I don't think there's anything else I'd rather own for $25k.

No care about only 300hp. They're incredible to drive and look outlandish.

If everything was a $/hp equation we'd all drive procharged foxbodies.

Agreed, and if everything were about track times I guess we'd own Covettes with sticky tires and race brake pads. But it's clearly not that simple, it's about a lot more than the numbers.

I like the distinction some of you have made about supercar vs. exotic. I think the term exotic is a better term for the NSX and I'm good with that, I want an exotic just as much if it can be had for 25k and is reliable and holds its resale (or goes up).

Please for your own sake, do not post any more dumb ass shit. Unless you think 5.0 only means foxbody mustang then you are truly an idiot. Go look at the skidpad numbers a current stock 5.0 can put down and see why people are laughing at you.

Also I'm no Nascar fan and I'd still venture to say the Vette is much more of a legend than the NSX ever will be, hmm lets see Vette history goes back to what the 50's? While your "Legendary" NSX was made for only a little over 10 years?

Anyways, the NSX is nice and all, but it isn't something I'd really want to go out of my way for. As others have already pointed out, unless you just want it for its rarity, then there are plenty of other cars with far better performance out of the box that aren't 20 years old.

Only $60k? That's relatively cheap since it cost about the same as a brand new M3 or Corvette.

I remember ordering a NSX brochure from Acura back in high school in the early 2000's. i recall the msrp being about $90k

Price relevance, in 1991 a 911 turbo was ~97k. Now in 2011-12 a 911 turbo starts at ~137k and goes all the way up to just about $190k. So that would put an NSX in todays market at like $100-120k. So therefore $60k in 1991 isnt cheap.

Does that pic have anything to do with this thread, can it be had for 20-30k?

Ferraris have to be the farthest from bargain of virtually any exotic car built, and the reliability...nobody's gonna argue they suck for reliability.

Compared to your example, 1991 911 turbo, I'd say it was quite the bargain, 37k less and looked better (I still love me some 911 though!).
