If it can goto 88mph and comes with that fancy schmancy flux capacitor, I'm down.

O-120 figure I will use for TLX with proper tiresetup. For NSX its more like 0-220mph. remember the magazine usually don't test top speeds for supercars and Honda usually understate the figures by wide margin. O-60 belong to 1950 era.

As we previously discussed, as long as you upgrade your tires, you dont need 88mph or the capacitor.

Again, you're an idiot. Fuel cutoff happens before 200mph. Soory!

220mph? let me guess, you are going to compare NSX with bugatti veyron super sport next?

let me save you some time and post the pictures you wanted to post:

That 57.7 inch tall Civic type r can go over 170mph. I am full confident on NSX high speed ability as its 4 time more expensive and can be built with cfrp components.

Acura has said the car is limited to below 200mph. Soory! This is from there website:


I've even read in a review that it was electronically governed to 191mph. Soory!

Did acura officially said its limited? It's all conservative estimate given by manufacturer. Civic type R is 172mph with rpm at 6500.

Wait, who am I kidding? You'll just come back and say the NSX is capable of 4,362,748,203 MPH, but is held back due to its non-upgraded tires and that it's 573hp is actually closer to 6,743 BMW hp.

That's what I am telling. You can't rely on those numbers for NSX. There is Civic Type R YouTube video going to 290km/hr. relastic is more like 277km/hr. unless Acura put limitor it NSX is more like 400km/hr class vehicle.

So instead of relying on what Acura said about NSX, NSX's performance # should rely on Civic's Performance #?

oh i forgot you also said since 1 car has 20% more HP, it must be 20% faster from 0-130mph...
So If Civic can do 170 mph with 270hp, then NSX must be capable of doing 340mph since it has 2x the Honda's BHP.
since it is lower than the 57.7 inch Civic, that adds another 30mph

what do you have to say about NSX's aero other being lower than 57.7 inches?

That's actually not the full list.

When you look under specs, you will see that there are other options as you scroll through the list. For instance, the list in your picture doesn't show options such as semi-aniline leather and summer tires.

As mentioned though, if they are doing what Porsche's been doing, then ya, that could be $50k of options. Here are some examples of Porsche 911:

Special Paint: $3k
Special Wheels: $3.5k
Special wheel paint: $1.6k
Leather interior/seats: $4k
Natural leather: $6k
14-way power seats: $2.3k
Adaptive 18-way seats: $3.8k
Carbon Ceramic brakes: $8.5k
CF interior: $2k
Audio system upgrade: $1.5k
High end audio system: $5.3k

Like I said, I was able to add $85k of options to a $89k 911....lol....and that's without the options of CF engine cover and CF roof.

Well except Acura is not Porsche... not even close. The cheapest Porsche cost about the same as the most expensive Acura model ( minus NSX).

So good thing that Acura is not producing a lot of the NSX, or it will just sink.

NSX has lowest center of gravity and total airflow management. It's designed from ground up for highest performance.

Yup, just like every other Super/Hypercar available today.

Acura/Honda didn't recently write the book on making a modern supercar. They did back in 1990. They've stayed stagnant since then until they release this new NSX, but even then, they aren't rewriting anything.

Acura did offer the Baby 918 because it uses similar tech and provide a great value... because you know... Supercar buyers care about value buys and bang for your buck.

Which other car claimed lowest centre of gravity and total airflow management ?. This car is ground breaking from design and material perspective.

What a disappointment. 3800 lbs is a joke. 3 electric motors plus turbo v6 should make more power. Numb steering. Who cares about 0-60 times, defiantly not people who track their cars. Caring about 0-60 is a sign of no driving experience.

Developed car to understeer for amateur drivers, haha. This is not a drivers car, it is a car for ppl who can't drive. Acura buyers typically are bad drivers with no track experience though, so maybe it was right choice for most.

Reviewers are complaining about all season tires, but the bad drivers that buy these would complain if they came with Michelin cup tires. "You mean I spend over 150,000 and still need another set of tires".

All the tools who bought the Camaro Z28 for drag racing complained about their tires not being good in wet.

no one else claims it because it's just part of building a super car. How many SUV height super/hyper cars do you know of? How many super/hyper cars can break the 200mph limit, where Acura limits their aerodynamic superiority to 191mph. Give me a break. The NSX needs 10 radiators to keep itself from burning to the ground. Sounds like it needs all the airflow it can get.

No one has the money and technical resources like Honda.
Toyota has alot of money but it is spread over alot of models and markets.

It is top class aerodynamic and lowest center of gravity in class.

Everything is ground breaking and totally designed for supercar every piece of material. there is no ifs and butts.

Honda Worldwide | April 23, 2015 "New Technical Details of the Next Generation Acura NSX Revealed at SAE 2015 World Congress and Exhibition"
The NSX achieves top-in-class aerodynamics targets without the use of active aerodynamic elements, while its three-motor Sport Hybrid power unit is cooled through 10 heat exchangers all thanks to a total airflow management strategy that maximizes the flow of air around and through NSX.
Most rigid body in class. on rail handling. you need rigid body for highest handling and performance.
Drivers will experience all of the on-the-rails handling provided by the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD power unit because it is communicated in high-fidelity through the most rigid body in its class

Has anyone really been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like? You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that?

You really have no clue!!! Do you know how much hp it takes to go that fast? It takes A LOT more than the NSX is making, Just look at all the other super/hyper cars out there making WAY more (350+ more) power and far better everything than the NSX and are unable to achieve 400kmh. And dont even say the NSX has superior best in class aerodynamics, center of gravity, lowest cd, or superior mirrors which will allow it to because you will only look a bigger fool!

Right, I'm sure Honda has more money than the VAG group. You know, I'm sure Lamborghini is struggling for money and technical resources and I'm sure Honda puts all of its resources towards ONE car, the NSX. I mean, it would make sense. Everything else they produce these days is a sad fucking disappointment.

Oh, and I'm sure Honda has more racing pedigree and technical resources than Ferrari does these days. 25 years ago? Sure. Today? No chance in hell. The NSX is being benchmarked against the 458, which has already been replaced

Honda can't even figure out what badge to put on the front of the car...

Not anyone would drive that fast but since it is a supercar, it is not what you need, it is all about what you can brag about.
Meh, Ferrari Club of America's track weekend at Summit Point last year there were dozens of Ferrari's (including two F40's and a Enzo) and other exotics were out there doing 150+ on the front straight.

far better? what is far better in them?
aerodynamics, center of gravity and real bhp matter all that matter.


look at 0-290km/hr of 57.7 inch tall Civic type R from 306 bhp.
