Just saw Enzo last night in Tokyo. I think it was red but I'm not so sure since it was dark outside. But it was quite amazing. But still, I'd prolly get NSX-R GT.

exactly. plus the Enzo looks so fighter jet like. the NSX just looks outdated. I'm not saying it's not a capable car but just I'd take the Enzo in a heartbeat over the the Acura.
BTW:red Enzo owns the Black Enzo biooootch

So apparently this NSX is a fake and a poor photochop at that. But I guess it was good enough to fool some people into picking it over an Enzo.

cost wasn't really part of this equasion, which makes the question even more silly.


the NSX is an amazing vehicle, but it's not on the same level as an enzo. not even close.

If cost wasn't really part of this equation, then I'll take one of each... lighten up mattg...

Thanks... my problem with these NSX against * posts is that I'm a bit biased... I've got to go with the X most of the time cause that's where my passion is. But I have to admit, the enzo is a sweet track car. I would imagine though, it wouldn't make a good daily driver like the NSX.

Its now confirmed, 280hp for NSX-RGT:

I don't care if it weights just 800kg. The same C32 just can't make it.

$500,000 for a 280HP NSX suddenly makes the Enzo seem like a bargain...

How can that be? An '05 NSX-T has 290hp.

American NSX produce more power compared to Japanese counterpart. Since early 90's, Japanese car companies placed a voluntary limitation for the engine capability. Up until the New Legend (RL), all of the high-performance cars such as Skyline GT-R, Supra, Impreza, Lancer Evo, NSX, and etc. were limited to 280hps(catalog spec...nudge nudge).

Although NSX-R GT looks like a rip off, I think it's worth the money. All of the carbon parts and etc. were specially designed and made just for five of these NSX-Rs (Honda claims that 500k is barely enough to prevent them from going it to the red). And the aero parts such as underbody diffuser, bumpers, and etc are said to creat enormous downforce.

BTW, I'm not the fan of Enzo...if I were to spend my money on Enzo, I'd prolly buy Muercielago over Enzo. Or spend less money buying F430 or Gallardo or 575M + Audi or somethin'...lol

I wonder if they are going to come back out and maintain they would still take the NSX. Guess we are takling GT300 not GT500!

I am even less convinced those will hold much collector value with a sub 300hp engine.
