you drove em ??

well yeah dats true the nsx r was never built for the track, as shown by the 600lb/in springs ... on the track it dominates tho, it takes the curbs fine

there's no doubt that the skyline would be faster in most "everyday" situations due to it's power advantage and it's awd but the extra weight would really kill the tyres whereas the lightweight nsx would last longer
dats my 2cents

no amount of electronics and shit can make up for a 330 kilogram deficit and inferior weight distribution/location

as for the over bumps comment, both cars have spring rates so high that neither would be "comfortable" going over a bump, the nsx-r would probably be unbearable as an everyday car ... but when you buy an nsx-r ... are you really going to use it AS an everyday car ?? ... my point exactly
