i got a pic of one in the showroom, but for 90 grand?? yeah, it's the most liveable supercar, it's as easy driving as a civic, but for 90 grand for a honda? i don't know about that. i saw a 996 targa drive by, and i was wondering if i'd rather have the 996 than the acura. yeah, i'm positive i would. that thing was hot, and the glass roof was :wub: :wub:

it performs on par with the M3 and Carrera though. it has 290hp. and there are rumors of a hybrid NSX coming.....

yeah but the NSX is like double in price compared to the M3. Is the NSX lightweight? is that why it performs great?
the nsx does nothing for me, i agree with donut that 90 grand for a honda is crazy :wacko: btw donut, how was the TSX test drive?

he didnt get to do it, they were out of stock
drive the car...its awesome - then judge. I still dont think its worth $90k but its a great car. Just because its Honda doesnt mean it drives like a Civic guys. ITs like saying that the Audi RS6 drives like a VW jetta.

yup, I refuse to pay 90k for a car with a tuned up accord V6.
you gotta admit, the styling is very attractive. i like it a lot. i was suprised how narrow the tires were though. up front they were 215, in the rear they were 255. that's pretty small for a car this caliber. and they're 17 inches. i assumed they would be 18's

there must be a reason for those size tires, maybe it's the optimal performace since the car is aluminum or something.

ehh....some of the best exoits/sports car in the world use 18" rims, the M5, the lambo, ferrari, etc....
optimum rim size is really dependant on the width and wheelbase of a car, plus the suspension geometry. I'm sure that 17" is plenty for an NSX. hell, 16" is optimal on my miata.

i was reading in Car magazine, i thnik the british one, that the NSX was one of the favorite cars tested by the drivers because of it's easy as hell to drive
i have an episode on Top Gear about the NSX, yes they said it was great and easy to drive, but expected more power.
yea im not a big fan of nsx's, just cuz they have a sport body style honda/acura thinks they can overcharge for them even though they aren't THAT fast, i would prefer a porsche, i think porsches are my new favorite cars, all of them, except boxters
yea i love porsches..the boxters are unacceptable..but the boxter S i wouldnt mind
yea boxter s is much more acceptable than the boxter, but i still would rather have a 911 turbo or gt2 or somethin like that, this might sound crazy but i think i am startin to like porsches more than ferraris
I still think Lotus is my favorite Marque.
