Haha, The NSX was not up to par with the Ferraris, what Ferrari are you comparing it to? The 360 Modena seems to me like it is MUCH faster. The Honda was using outdated technology, that is their fault, you cannot use that as an excuse.
Hey, that looks alot like the Vette (only the vette is much cheaper). Realistically, most owners of the NSXs, are just like Corvette drivers, older men, who never take it to the track, and on the street, what do you think would win?
The NSX-R could only muster a 4.9 second 0-60 time, and 11.4 0-100. You can say that is a straight line, but Acceleration is very important in road racing.
I have nothing against these cars, but looking at other cars, its just way too overpriced from the late 90s on. Yeah, it was somewhat impressive back in the day, but by 2000, it has been beaten to the ground.
And if someone is to look at a NSX, and not at least Test Drive a Corvette, Viper, Ferrari etc… I’d call them stupid for throwing down almost 100,000 without looking at the competition. Whether Honda wanted the Corvette to be competition, it was.
