    Small update on the NSX

    Acura boasts NSX will be faster than Nissan GT-R - [2011 Acura NSX] - MotorAuthority - Car news, reviews, spy shots



    Apparently all the rumors are true. AWD Front-Engined Extremely expensive 500hp+ Great looks Only badged as an Acura

    Honda claims that it will kick ass, but then again any GT-R and/or Z06 will cost a fraction of the price... Can't wait for an official release so that we can get all the facts straight!!

    Wasn't that cancelled or something?

    By the way this isn't an NSX nor should be called one.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    Wish I could say the rest of Acura's lineup has great looks. Although this NSX isn't shaping up too badly.

    Well, the way I see it, the ZR-1 would kick the Aston Martin V8 Vantage's ass as well, and the Corvette is probably half as expensive as that as well.

    I see this car to be more of an Aston Martin V8 Vantage competitor than a ZR-1 competitor. Made in small enough numbers, it may work. And the official price isn't out yet anyway. So I'll worry about the price when it gets here.

    it may be faster than the GT-R, but what happens when the GT-R V-Spec is realeased? Closer prices, what happens head to head. It won't do Acura any good to say their car is faster than the base GT-R, when Nissan comes out with a car that may or may not be faster and is still cheaper.

    Senna is rolling in his grave now.


    But with that said, who should Honda get for testing now?
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    That's no NSX. No way. It's more like some sort of civic coupe or hybrid or something.

    if they're making that, don't call it the NSX,because that isn't an NSX.

    I doubt the ZR-1 could touch the AMV8 Vantage. It's a good 10-12 years older. The new ZR1 would probably smoke an AMV8 Vantage though.

    NSX-R baby

    Agreed. Hopefully they'll work on a new name and release it as a brand new car, not a successor.... but as of right now, it is what it is. It wouldn't surprise me if they go as far as making paddle shifts the only option on the car

    Niko_Fx?

    I meant the newer V8 Vantage, not the older ones. It probably would smoke that one. The Corvette is way cheaper. You don't see the Corvette killing it in sales.
