nice... 12.8sec nsxr very nasty

but if straight is all u wanna talk about.. then the r34 isnt the fastest gtr anyhow.. that "new" nsx would get eaten up by the old r32 gtr... theres a guy here who has run 12.4 with his STOCK gtr

i forgot his nick, but i could find it

that was the 1st clip i found...

there are many more of the nsx handing it to the gtr on the round tracks

[Bumblebee]

and vise versa

but like i said to the other dude..

the gtr when it raced against production cars, won every single time

and thus killed production car racing

the nsx didnt win a single race

[scathing]

Honda's philosophy since the early 80's was that they will never use turbo charging in their road cars, because back then turbo charged cars were unreliable. I wonder if this philosophy of theirs is going to come back and bite them.

I doubt it. Compared to its Japanese brethren, it differentiates them.

Most of the fast Euro supercars are NA (Enzo, Carrera GT, Zonda, etc) and they're still quick. The Nurburgring "production car" (and I use the term very loosely) record holder is a NA track day special.

It works for them. I'm more disappointed with the new NSX's front/mid engined AWDness than its lack of turbos.

[GTR-32U]

They say that racing improves the breed but one thing i could never understand about Honda was that they spent so much time and money on Development on Turbos for F1 but didnt touch it with a 10 ft pole for the road cars......very odd

[ev0luti0nzer0]

look at their line up today and you won't find a single Honda that is rear wheel drive

Not true. The R34 N1 will destroy the NSX in the quarter. It makes something like 420Hp stock from the factory. And i haven't even mentioned the Z-tune R34 yet (which is stock from the factory as well).

Yes the S2000 and the NSX is RWD, but they are not in production anymore. I am talking about current production Honda's.

you fail the n1 did not have 420hp from stock

the z-tune is a limited edition made by nismo, comparing two different cars there

again the video i posted was purely to make a point.

Wtf? Double fail on the S2000!

The S2000 is still in production.

The Ztune R34 is NOT STOCK. Its a heavily modified factory special. "Stock" is a car that was built to original factory specs on the original platform and like Michael said, stock for stock the NSX has the GTR covered.

GTR is not God, my friend.

Im not talking about when the cars are modified and that has never been my point.

Oh and your double post on not knowing about the S2000 calls for a hot steamy little serving of

[m3gtr]

Oh and the N1, forget it - Sif that's even relevant in this discussion...and the Z-tune even less so.

Courtesy of teh Wiki:

"Only 45 R34 N1 models were produced from the factory, 12 of which were used by Nismo for Super Taikyu racing. The rest were sold to various customers, mostly racing teams, and tuning garages."

Yes, yes Honda realised their beautiful NSX was a total commercial flop and to make the new one practical have freed up cabin space by front/mid-mounting the motor and giving it plenty of grip with AWD, to cater for wealthy buyers that curl into a ball and cry when the tyres chirp.

Honda tried to be exotic and stand out with the old NSX, but they've given up. Nissan have never hidden the GTR was an all-rounder. They only hid its performance figures

The new NSX smacks of dirty, dirty daily driver to me
