the new brakes are awesome-but that is just because Dodge got together with Brembo to design them. They should have gotten together earlier though.

When you can have a Z06, new viper, carrera, all of which are faster and more bang for your buck

Now that I think about it,
I've never had the opportunity to sit in an NSX. But I KNOW I can't deal with the SRT-10 Viper, and it's bigger than the last gen 
We're talking about 90k price tags? Just give me a used Ferrari 355 Spyder

Personally, hints of 300+ HP, despite coming from a V6, was just not going to cut it. I'm glad it's not going to get produced.

Viper by far. The NSX is way too outdated these days and even 10 years ago I wasn't crazy about it to begin with. I've always been attached to the Viper for some reason, and I love the SRT-10 with a passion. The Viper isn't a Viper without the racing stripes though.

I love the NSX. I dont care how old or played out it is. everytime i see one on the road i drool over it. the Viper doesnt appeal to me at all. I give 2 more headturns to the NSX over the viper. Just like you said, something about it makes me like it alot. Just so low to the ground and smooth driving down the road.

At the time, the NSX engine was nice, but it's far outclassed these days. The reason why the NSX still performs well is it's mid-engine design and light aluminum construction. The engine is nothing special any longer though.
Let's see a SC'ed Viper to make it apples to apples... Definitely put out well more than 450whp

Ayrton senna helped make the NSX
if NSX is good enough for SENNA it is good enough for rest of us...
and if u think the things havent much changed in 12 years since this car was launched it can pretty well leave 90% of the cars on the road today...
u can drive the nsx to a track and drive it back home... without any problem.
viper cannot simply compete with nsx....
and if u buy viper half the time u would be either refuelling it or it will be sitting in garage getting repaired...
but nsx is meant to be driven.... meant for everyday use... so it means it is reliable...
but if u want a car that looks good sitting in the garage NSX does that pretty well too...

It's funny cause my dad works at a dodge dealership and I see Vipers there all the time. My dad was egging my on to get a used one the had with 37k miles on it for 35K out the door. (family discount included)
I told him I think I'll keep the CL. He couldn't understand it.

My buddies and I we're discussing the NSX vs VIPER, my friend who owns a viper (ill post pics later) doesn't understand why anyone would by the NSX!
I have two other buddies with NSX's (maybe three, but I don't really like him enuf to call him a buddy) claim they like theirs for the track.

or That said, I like the Viper's performance and know it would tear an NSX apart in a race. However, I'd take the NSX over the Viper any day.

Look how freakin menacing that Viper looks!! Damn; only if it was as refined as an NSX; I would take it. I would take neither! My choice will go towards a Porsche GT3; fast as a Viper and as refined/balanced as an NSX!
