I was reading R&T and they said this car is faster than a 991 Turbo. But no, that's not fast enough for Acurazine. It's not good enough for Acurazine. It's too heavy. It's taking too long to come out. The interior isn't good. Bitch and moan bitch and moan bitch and moan bitch and moan. So much hilarity I can't even process. #dropsthemic
991 Turbo is at the edge of 200 mph.. isn't the NSX geared to 191?
You mean quicker?
Because the P-car has a legit 2.6s 0-60.. so that can't be it.
Maybe you mean fastest hot (fire) lap on the ring...
Possibly, but I'm pretty sure the SLS beat it there too.

Ok, now show me stats of how fast either one can regenerate power and how many laps each can run 10/10ths. That is all i was getting at. We dont know how long Acuras battery system will last under those conditions nor do we know how fast it can recapture the power. Does it have the ability to run like that all day long? 1 lap? How does it recapture? how quickly can it recapture? Info like this would be nice to know.
Its pretty clear that the 918 still has a sizeable advantage power wise, especially on the track, Also, Paper racing is pointless. One can do stats and percentages all day long and it doesnt necessarily mean squat in the real world.

Obviously, without any further road tests, no one knows how long it will take before the NSX is out of juice on a track. And for sure, every track will be different. Say if it's an oval speedway, then it will probably take little time for the battery to be out of power, versus the Nurburgring.
As such, there's no point to speculate how long it will take for the batteries to be depleted. With that said, none of the journalists mentioned anything about the loss of power during their 2-day long test drive event. May be that's a good sign.
Of course, the 918 still has a sizable power advantage, given that it's like 5 times more money.
I only went into the stats because right now, those are the only stats available. Note that, I didn't make any claim regarding how fast each car will be based on those stats. All I said is that, the performance difference becomes 50% smaller.
I'm sure you'd know that I like to use actual performance figures and lap times more

so slow and heavy. Acura really missed the ball on this one.

I thought you cancelled your order when you realized that the car won't be released until you're 497 years-old. 
You watch. It will be delayed when 2017 hits. And the again in 2018. 2019. 2020. 2021. 2022. Etc.
Until the end of the world.

My 1992 Civic Si hatchback weighed 2300 pounds. Way better than the NSX

Drive a 2017 NSX with upgraded tires - $170,000
Travel back time to 1992 with 3 battery pack - $0 in gas money
Getting into a 1992 Civic Si and realized it is better than the NSX - $priceless

With the power of compound interest I'll be a multi-billionaire then and I can buy them by the dozens!

I'm the Firestarter
Something I didn't see anything written about: the black NSX in all the reviews has the Michelin sticky tires but also a big lip spoiler. I'm curious about what "package" that comes with or if it's a standalone option and if I missed any other stick-on aero bits. Maybe it's just a dealer-installed cosmetic spoiler like for a TLX.
The blue NSX is always the plain one without the spoiler and the crappy Continental tires.

And remember, $170K is peanuts for the ability to travel in time. You don't even need 1.21 gigawatts!

Well you might need the 1.21 gigawatts.
What if one of the upgraded tires gets a flat? The NSX doesn't come with a spare

Please don't tell me that the NSX comes with some shitty, performance-robbing, run-flat tires.

I wonder how many prospective buyers have tired of waiting, irritated at the potential for nosebleed markups, lack of communication and already moved on?

Itz JDM y0!
The guy who sold me my TSX said his son was first on the list and had a deposit. Last time I checked tho said he expected it to be $120-140k. 170k idk you can get a nice McLaren for that price.

That's odd, because my dealer hasn't accepted a single deposit yet. Just a list of interested buyers because they don't know the anticipated ordering process yet.
Also, if we are to extrapolate on the allocation of annualized global production, your 10th guy in line will probably be waiting a looooooooooong time.
