Oh price wise, NSX is a disaster, not going to argue there :lol

I understand that the double clutch and all the electronics can and do make the car faster, just like the Ferrari 458, however it’s heading in the wrong direction by trying compensate for the weight with electronic gizmos. A light basic car can put down staggering numbers without having to have bazillion HP, ABS, stability and dual clutch SMG tranny just like Atom showed when it first came out.

And no love for E30 M3? Really?

I am disapoint.
