Seriously though, the Brits in most UK car mags flatout HATE driving American cars. So I have no doubt that this sentiment translates to how they drive American cars. I'd like to see how an experienced Vette racer would do out there.

Sidenote: You should have read how bad Car magazine slammed the Ohio built 6G Accord Coupe V6......Gee Wiz!! You'd swear they were talking about a 1978 Ford Maverick.

saved yourself pretty nicely there, a base nsx would own a 350 or g35 whatever, in 0-60, the quarter and top end, even with less hp

This is becoming a typical Acurazine car discussion that degenerates into an anti-G35/anti-Z discussion. To wit, I dont think Nissan was gunning to make an NSX out of their new Skyline 350GT nor Fairlady Z. ( It's getting to the point where we can expect a discussion about the Bentley and Maybach to degenerate into bashing of the G35 sedan.)

The only American car that I've seen praised on Top Gear was the Ford GT.

well i dont like it cause honda thinks its too good for out market, they dont put forth effort for the enthusiast here...

Worst yet is when u try to impress people over the net. I'm never going to meet or ever want to meet you. Why would I care how good your life is? Do u also name call on your little online gaming life too? "I am MATTG, I am a MOD on the net. I can do things"

I totally agree with you. The one thing I love about this forum is, MOST of the discussions are very unbiased and enjoyable, but why does it always come to the NSX being able to "kill" a Z, RX-7, Lancer EVO, STi, M3, Skyline/G35, etc..

The NSX is (granted its age) a mid-engine 100k supercar (I don't care what people say about the badging, it has proven itself to everyone I'm sure). The Z and Skyline/G35 are 30-35k sports coupes. The GT-R isn't even in the NSX's league, let alone the standard Nissan sports cars. Let's compare apples to apples here. Now, if you want to compare Nissan to Honda, clearly Honda wins because of this. Keep in mind, I love both Nissan and Honda equally, so don't think I'm pulling any bias. That being said, Hondas are MUCH better on the track (but certain Nissans will eat up 0-60 ).

And about the Z/G35 bashing, that doesn't happen often. I think he was trying to say that although you could find more power @ a Nissan dealer, the NSX is better than those. No bashing.

Just another point. A Z06 vette will come with 500 HP. Some of the these guys said it'll beat every car in this race. DUH!...if you drop 500 HP into any car, the end result will be that it'll do well. I say if the Z06 is that great, drop the HP down to 275 HP like the NSX-R and see how well it'll do.

And why hasnt one considered the fact that maybe the DRIVER of the nsx was just better than the rest?


If you put the best driver in that CSL, i bet he would have won too.

What’s sad is that you don’t show proof behind your words. Like I said before, you put 500 HP into any car and it’ll do well. I say put the HP on the Z06 to 275 HP as the NSX-R and see how good it runs. It’ll get raped for sure. Stop talking shit.
