I am too lazy to look up the current conversion but isn't it like 113

Besides, that intake scoop is begging to get ripped off in an automatic car wash.

You saw how well the NSX-R did in that race I posted. Just imagine what this thing can do.

I can't imagine not taking the Enzo. First you can drive the Enzo for 5 years and see it for $1 million or more. They already change hands at 1.25 right now. The NSX will unlikely see that sort of value retention. As for the track, I don't really see many people thrashing a 400K + car at the track even more unlikely anyone reading this thread! Bottom line someone has to be a very big Honda Fanboy to even consider this NSX over a Enzo. The Enzo has proven it is the quickest easiest to drive production supercar ever built. (Though the F1 is definately faster, and is basically as quick depending on which acceleration figures you trust, it is certainly not nearly as easy to drive fast)

This comparison is an insult to the Enzo.

Enzo without a doubt. When I need a car that can drive under water I will consider the NSX.

Actually, I'd even take a Ferrari 430 (490HP and drop dead gorgeous) and keep the change.

Aside from the silly intake snorkel, which could have been better designed, the NSX looks good. NSX or Enzo...I'd take one of each.

if there were only 5 of these made then this will be more than a collectors item, its price will sky rocket, i would take this nsx hands down due to the fact that there is only 5 of them. do you know how rare that is? a lot more rare than any ferrari. and i can only imagine what this thing would do on a road track. nsx-r suspension, bye bye ferrari, the hood scoop is kinda ghey tho

Ya but the Enzo is just as rare , if not more rare if you consider real supply and demand. The Ferrari will always be worth more.

And why do you think that the Enzo would get smoked on a road track

^^^ statement by someone who obviously sees the bigger picture.

This discussion reminds me of a thread in a Camaro forum where a couple of the camaro guys posted that they'd rather have the Camaro SS over the E39 M5, even if cost was no object. ...all kinds to make a world, I guess.

Actually, you might be surprised that the following for the NSX is just as intense and rabid as the following for the Ferraris. The Enzo, while a great performer, is largely a garage queen. And at 399 units, is 394 units more than this NSX. Even if demand for this NSX is half that of the Ferrari's, the fact that there are only 5 units will make it a collectors item with price equal to or exceeding that for the Ferrari's in the future.

Take a look at some other rare cars such as the Brock Daytona Coupe. Those things are worth several millions of dollars these days because only 7 real ones are in existence.

Even if there were only 5 made; this particular NSX looks like any other NSX with a bodykit! Enzo all the way! And who in their right mind would spend a half a mil for a Honda?
