looks pretty, and i'm somewhat impresed by a 300rwhp 6 banger.
for tose looks though, i'd expect some bigger numbers?

thoughts?

I wouldn't be caught dead in that thing.

Oh wow, it has a playstation 2 inside it. I wonder if that is to help you escape from the fact you are driving a jap failure of a sports car.

I absolutely wasted one of those at a stoplight in my 98 Z28 a few years ago. the guy revved at me, so I thought he had somethin. I think it was stock. Not much torque on those. That modded one in the link looks a little more substantial tho.

I've never been a big fan of the NSX. I've read that they are super-smooth and a lot more reliable than say a Ferrari or Lambo, if you're into the supercar exotic kind of thing.

People will still suck it's dick though since it's a honda.

If I had 55k to spend a car, I'd get a new vette, that's what I'd do. Those NSX's are gutless.

They look kinda cool, but they're ball-less

I ran a yellow one once in my 2000SS, which I'm sure was stock. His engine revved up, and I thought "wow, this could be close", and then I just pulled him and kept pulling away. I sure wasn't impressed.

**Bigrus** · 03-13-2006, 07:06 PM

I thought those things were close to 80k new? am i wrong?

**anewconvert** · 03-13-2006, 08:49 PM

They arent straight line cars. They are designed to be turned....

From everything i have read, and first person accounts, it is a very neutral responsive car with a lot of revs to play with. Lets you know when you are taking it too far, but doesnt punish you too severely (for a mid-engine car) when you do.

Its NOT an f-body, so to compare it is comparing apples to oranges.

yea bigrus about $80k. As far as supercars go there not in the top shelf. They say the car makes up for it in the handleing. But for that amount of money I would get something else..Hell 2 something elses..

80k for a 4 cyclinder? I could careless what it handled like. From what ive seen with the interior, and just how the car looks i cannot see paying 80k

**snaggeltooth** · 03-14-2006, 11:42 AM

failure of a jap sports car? it was nearly unchanged for a decade..if it was a failure...i'm sure they would have changed it more.
