Same SH-AWD on the new RL. Sounds good to me.

Not quite a new NSX, but an NSX successor. Still cool, but yet another to add to the list of things I wouldn't hold my breathe for.

I'd rather have my 8 because it's rwd and I can get a turbocharger kit for it......plus it's lighter, looks better, handles better and if you don't believe me then ask IKE

BTW this is a repost

Yet another thread destined for the toilet

It's not a true awd system. More like all wheel stability control. It will be in rwd mode most of the time untill it senses loss of traction to the rear wheels.

Lighter? Handles better?

Have you driven an NSX?!?!

If I were allowed to choose any exotic car, I would first choose the NSX. I know, I know, it's a good deal slower than than the high end Lamborghinis or Ferraris, but frankly I think it's a better car. I watched a race involving a Gallardo, Murcielago, 996, M3 CSL, and a few others, and the NSX was annihilating them, with a great deal less power too. I think the NSX lost due to coolant issues in that race, but it outhandled every one of those cars. I also think it looks better than just about any exotic. There is my three cents.

By the way, I am very excited for the AWD V10.

label *****.

it was the NSX R that you're talking about and it was running R compound tires I believe. Kinda cheating in my books.

thanks for your constructive input.

My comment was not directed at the content of your post. If you couldn't see what I was referring I'm sorry.

Eeek, I guess I did kinda forget that. But all in all, power-wise the NSX was nowhere near the top. The power rating is the same, 280 bhp and 225 ft/lbs or torque or thereabouts. Competing with cars that are close to double that power and beating them up is pretty impressive to me. Could you also explain what an R compund tire is? And what were the other cars using tire wise?

I'd buy it.... Make mine dark blue with parchment interior please...... and um excuse the avatar.

Overpriced Euro cars that still isn't as reliable as other cars including American...no thanks! $100,000 on an near exotic that isn't a garage queen and doesn't need constant repairs....sounds good to me.

Of course for that money I'll buy a used Z06 with mods. :D

at least the nsx is reliable . european car are always getting fit , i know i used to work for a ferrari, bmw and lamb dealer.

VikingDJ

Yeah seriously, who would spend over $10000 for a Japense car. Wait a tic, I spent three times that on my RX8. Also on my STI, and twice that on my used S2000. We are all crazy!!!! :p Seriously though, the NSX is durable and reliable. If the buyer decides to really drive car and not have it it sit in garage. It's an exotic you can actually drive and use, so yes I'd pay over 100k for the new one, if my intentions were to actually use the car like I do my Honda S2K. and not have it sitting like my neighbor's Diablo that is 10 years old and has only 1500 miles on it. What a freaking waste.

R compound tires are racing tires, and are stickier than normal ones. The other cars were using street tires if this was some test in a review of the NSX. The NSX-R wasn't too slow in a straight line either, it would beat a Skyline GTR in the quarter mile, but that might have to do with racing tires again as well.

The successor to the NSX is looking rather nice though. It would be nice too if Honda also made sports cars in the price gap between the S2000 and the NSX.

Mikelikes2drive

you're crazy.
i can get the nsx and get a comptech supercharger and leave ferraris in the dust.
you can get a turbo on ur 8 and start keeping up with an STi...

i dont see how you can pick an 8 over a NSX

Shiri

The NSX-R was equivalent to a modified R34, at their price it would have to be.

Magic8

A lesser version of the NSX for 50 to 60K...hell ya!
