> [@Rocket 442](#): > > 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 The Honda was using outdated technology, that is their fault, you cannot use that as an excuse. Ferrari 348, 355, and 360 were all DIRECT competitors to the NSX…NOT the NSX-R (that was directed to the Challange cars) FYI, the 360 (the fastest of the ferraris on that list) is a 12.6 1/4 mile car…the 98+ NSX is a 12.8…so…there you have it Honda was using outdated technology? WTF are you talking about? > [@Rocket 442](#): > > 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? Umm…even the C6 has dog shit build quality…yes, I’ve been in one, extensively… Do you really think I give a fuck about people who are stoplight racing? > [@Rocket 442](#): > > 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. No, they were never over-priced. I don’t even know what you’re getting at here…the only corvette that was ever even close to being a competitor with the NSX was the C5 Z06…and that car’s fit and finish was about on par with a fisher price car. I don’t know what it’s going to take to get you to understand that UP UNTIL THE 360 MODENA THE NSX WAS FASTER OR AS FAST AS IT’S FERRARI COUNTERPART. WITH THE RELEASE OF THE 360 IT WAS SLIGHTLY SLOWER IN INITIAL ACCELERATION BUT STILL AS FAST AROUND A TRACK. **If you wouldn’t compare a 348, 355 or 360 to the vette of the same year you shouldn’t compare an NSX to it either.** **NEWS FLASH - THE NSX WASN’T MADE IN 2006…THUS YOU CANNOT COMPARE THE C6 Z06 TO IT** Until you realize WHAT the NSX was made for, you won’t be able to appreciate it…once you do…it’s impossible not to love it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/f-ck-dumbestics-turbo-honda-4l/16099)._
