I like those NSX's.. not bad for a honder

over in japan these hardcore NSX tuners called "wong dongs" race up and down the highway at night screwing with the police

My brother in law in Japan owns a Mitsu Evo with 400bhp modified engine, he took me to one of those races, it was right out of the set of Fast and the Furious, many NSX turbo and Skyline GTR still survive there surprisingly.

Lotus Esprit, 1976 to 2004. Of course there were body changes and mechanical improvements over the life of the car, but it was essentially the same chassis.

Drove behind one on the weekend. It looked really dated, like a Countach does. Very 80s. Especially with the long, upright radio antenna sticking out the back.

Still a cool car though!

The 09/10 NSX -- Honda once again following a design trend.

Not even close to the 911. Think also about the 450-560SL's 72-89

Kinda looks Ferrari-ish...

I like the original flavour

Thank you so much for that. I stopped following formula one after he was killed. Though I did see Schumacher drive at Indy. That guy is incediably strong. But like any good German totally lacked the romance of Senna.

Wow, an 8000rpm weed-eater......

Sweet! Watch him heel-toe. :) A forgotten technique these days.

The 911 has been totally reworked many many times through its lifecycle. A new 911 shares almost nothing with the older ones. It may look similar but it's like comparing a 1957 Corvette to a 2007 C6 Corvette. The 928 was Porsche's longest run on the same chassis.

Back on track. The NSX showed that a sports car can have everyday reliability and really made the other manufacturers step-up the quality and reliability. I still think the NSX is a great looking car. Not to mention, with the addition of a turbo kit, the NSX is one hell of a track car that can run with or beat most cars on the market.

I've always respected the NSX. I feel that people don't appreciate it enough. It wasn't cool what Honda did with the pricing thoughout the years though.

I don't care for their looks and they aren't sick fast, but I can see super's point about it being a great track car with a turbo.

They might not be super fast but they feel great and are fast enough to enjoy for daily driving plus they're cheap to maintain and extremely reliable. Money for brakes and tires and you're all set.

Hatterasguy 07-04-2007 07:46 PM

Well on a track the NSX is probably at least as fast as say a Ferrari 348.

I never liked the name, it sounds like an STD. "that girl gave me NSX":eek::D
