Whats wrong with the spec?

Fibonacci

With these wheels and minus the off-body color tacked on lip wing spoiler thingy, would totally hit this if it drives as good as it looks for a buck fifty.

Nothing's wrong with it?

It's hard to say without knowing any spec, but for $150K, I would definitely go for either a 911 GT3 or a Cayman GT4 over NSX.

But will have to see how this car actually is first!

MSZ

So what made you surprised about the spec?

Fibonacci

GT4 run is sold out, sorry son. GT3 is nice but engines need to stop blowing up and dealers need to stop marking up.

But yeah, let's get on with it, enough with the suspense and the slow roll...

It's a bit narrower than what I had expected.

I know it's sold out, dad. My track junkie friend got one on the order list. Porsche will obviously come out with "better" versions every couple years anyway. That's not an issue, my pocket is the issue.

Every car model blows up here and there, and I have two people in my track group who track their GT3 once every month without any problem. If anything happens, Porsche takes care of it. The issue is my $, not the car.

I have a feeling the spec will be released pretty soon. Now that several have been spotted in Socal area and some are popping out at local Honda dealers.

Please be like Super Saiyan version of NSX!

NSX's front tires are actually wider than most if not all of its competitors.

A Mclaren 12C I saw at CIAS few years back actually has a pair of 215s.

Ah, you are right. It's usually 235-245 in the front and 305-315 in the back.

That brake rotor looks HUGE. Like I said, hope this thing drives like the original NSX but MUCH faster. I think it's going to be pretty good. Wonder how it's going to drive with AWD!

oonowindoo

what if it is 245 all around because of the super duper awd?

Nahhh Porsche 918 has a fat staggered set up.

Porsche aint got nothing on SHAWD

What's wrong with Super Hupa AWD?

Edward'TLS

Is the new NSX built on top of a FWD or a RWD platform ?

oonowindoo

Would NSX be the first Rear engine and FWD based car?

fsttyms1

I want atleast 305s on all 4 corners, nothing less

1. Right, I'm sure they know NOTHING about those cars. Just because they rich Asian kids, doesn't mean they're completely oblivious to what they're driving.

2. So what is your point? I'm not the only one who thinks your claim was unsubstantiated.

RPhilMan1

Acura sucks at hyping the NSX up.

You know what would be good marketing? Get Jerry Seinfeld to drive one in a new episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.

thoiboi

He's from Canada, eh. He doesn't know 626 Definitely will have to disagree with that TB... Go anywhere in Beverly Hills or the Newport Beach area and you'll see a bunch of exotics. I doubt most of them are car enthusiasts; they just have way too much money and not sure what to do with it so will buy expensive toys to overcompensate for their small dicks and ugly wives (which they will replace with the 2016 model once theirs hits 40 anyway).

TacoBello

ah, stereotypes...

Mizouse

Some rich spoiled Asian kids really don't know what they drive. All they know are brand names and they know daddy will replace it for them if they break it or don't want it anymore.

One time i saw some Ching Ching douche who looked barley even 20, drove his R8 into the island while trying to park, he just got out of the car laughing and walked away. Fool didn't even look at his messed up bumper.

TacoBello

The key word here is "some". Not "all". Not "majority". In society you'll find people filling every groove along the spectrum when it comes to anything and everything. This is no different.

And what made ching ching douche choose the R8 over anything else? and because he didn't fall to his knees crying because his bumper got smashed automatically means he knows nothing about the car he's driving? I dunno, seems like a stretch. Butt I digress...

You always bring it real MSZ.

Thanks for the refreshing post in a sea of ignorance and haters

<p>Tacobella, i think you're just being canadien....</p><p>Miz was just telling a story. <img alt="" src="https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/shrug.gif" title="Shrug" /></p>

thoiboi

I'll requote you again. Why do you not have those qualifiers "some" "all" "majority" in your talks about nonenthusiasts. So by saying "nonenthusiasts do not buy supercars" are you implying that ONLY enthusiasts buy supercars? That's where we're poking at the fallacy in that statement.

You're contradicting yourself. It's stil early, I forgive you, get

Mizouse

Taco bello clearly isn't from Vancouver

Mizouse

These spoiled Asian kids buy them purely for the brand name and the image associated with it.
They buy it to show off how rich there parents are.

About that nsx

You overestimate SSFTSX

fsttyms1

Get a handful of comedians in this car and it will outsell the Accord.

MSZ

Don't get me wrong srika, while I don't consider myself a hater, and I actually like the styling of this NSX. I don't think it will be that competitive against its rivals.

I guess I'm running out of patience, after all I have already seen 2 concept cars and 1 prototype in person. Like others here said, enough is enough, I want some hard specs.

Dude, don't do that. We need to have some people who are optimistic about the new NSX!

This is real life, brother.

Consider me part of the sea of hate and ignorance.

Do we need a reminder why the LV and Prada stores in any city is um...filled with -ers from China and have staff that can speak Mandarin?

Yumcha

Hey, I'm optimistic! We WILL get specs by the year 3450.

Mizouse

Those people are idiots, most of the "smarter" mainland Chinese won't buy it anymore because it's all made in China now. They're just shipped to Italy for final assembly to qualify for the "made in Italy" tag.

They have knocks offs in China which are "real" just don't have the "made in Italy" tag

Mizouse

Funny too, in Seoul, all the department store workers speak Mandarin because the mainlanders come in droves and buy up everything to resell back in China.

They even do this for food... Happened at Incheon airport. I had an early flight back to Hong Kong, all the restaurants were sold out of breakfast food because they bought everything. Not to eat, but to resell or give to friends/family


Anyways enough of my ranting.

Back to that NSX....

Yumcha

Whut NSX...? The imaginary one?

oonowindoo

1. Trust me when i say these new Generation of Asian kids don't know shit about car and there is a newly developed term just for these kids - The Rich 2nd Gen (in Chinese). While there are always exceptions in everything but this is not something i read and heard. This is what i see on a daily basis and a well known FACT that has been going on for the past several years. Many people from other areas think it is just a few. No, it is A LOT more common now.

2. My point is... THAT WAS NOT MY CLAIM. I understand exactly why it costs so much. But a lot, if not most of the those buyers do not care about what makes LFA so great and expensive.
