The only true difference is we've seen are highlights of what lies in the GT's engine bay. Other than that, both cars have rumored performance/engine specs, both have been seen being driven, both are slated for next year.

What are you on about besides getting proven wrong by all the pictures posted?

I'll take my comments back once they actually show what's under the hood of that car. Until then, it might as well be the motor from the Civic DX.
The NSX has been slated for "next year" since 2009, still waiting...
nope.
But it must exist because it's been seen.
Negative.

You gonna hate regardless of facts & being proven wrong, aren't you?

They unveiled mockups of the powertrain layout back in November 2013 when they announced the shift to a longitudinal layout and the mockups include the engine:

And you are flat out wrong about the NSX being slated for "next year" since 2009. The GT-5000 was on the drawing board...but it was a FR V10 Coupe...it was cancelled in '09. We have only been waiting for the current NSX since NAIAS 2012 and they said, at the time, that it would be released in about 3 years! 3 years is not very much time in the automotive world - Alfa is getting congratulated for only taking 2.5 years to make the Giulia...and the NSX we saw in 2012 had a transverse engine - all they've done since 2012 is completely overhaul the powertrain layout, redesign the car completely, build an entirely new factory in Ohio, create a brand new way of putting the car together and test it against the best in the world.
Now go away because you are being ridiculous and you don't know what you're talking about. The NSX is real, there will be test drives soon, and it's going to be fucking fantastic.

Difference is that the Ford GT has specs and has a production body and has a real interior and is actually functional.
The NSX is still vaporware. Were those cars driven into the service bay or towed in?

Did they tow it to a gas station as well?
https://twitter.com/mikeaccavitti/st...28549676355584
Did they stage this entire sequence on the highway?
The car is real and it really works and is being driven by real people around the country.
And did you not see the NSX debut at Detroit? Or read the SAE presentation? We know a lot about the NSX: $150K+, 550+ hp total system output with a twin-turbo 3.5L 75 degree dry sump V6 mated to a 9 Speed DCT/electric motor transmission and the front TMU, multi-material body with Aluminum, Ultra High Strength Steel and CF.

Oh, And just because its driving doesnt make it real, give me the body and i could drop in a 1.6l civic engine in it and say hey look, its driving.

10-12 times that he placed the engine inside the engine bay to see if everything fits and clears and etc.
sorry, iutodd.....a mock up doesnt mean it's real and breathing fire
p.s. the Pikes Peak climb was a promotional stunt and not a production NSX, so you cant claim that's real either.

You wanna see what's under the hood?

Cool, so they completely changed the supposedly teased engine again because what was there before didn't work/fit/whatever. Gosh darn it, maybe they should have thought of that before doing a revolutionary change to the drivetrain on a production car!
A mockup means nothing. That's the actual definition of mockup.

This is all I can reply with to this babble:
Keep talking though, I think it's pretty clear who knows what they're talking about and who doesn't.

And a Dodge is still just a Dodge (with an outdated OHV engine).
We have to wait and see how the new NSX performs, but Acura isn't going after 458 Specialles or 488's or Aventadors, it's going after cars more like the Audi R8, a more rounded / civilized sports car, not a track focused sports car.

No he wasn't. I agree with the second point though.

HP numbers is just one main factor. Weight and gearing are 2 others, look at an Ariel Atom. A Ferrari 458 has ~560hp so "more than 550hp" is fine even today. The 458 starts at over $200k.

Welp, it's not going to compete with either since the 458 is no longer in production and the R8 just got a lot faster.
Also, I was being half sarcastic. Glad I can stir up the pot some.

I'm sorry I hurt your feelings meatball, please don't cry on the playground. Welcome to the internet where not everyone agrees with you.
