BTW don't go giving bluelou too much credit. I know the facts.....I have google too :p
If you knew the facts you wouldn't need google. Perhaps you should have used it before spouting off with your nonsense claims then you wouldn't be reeling the way you are. "YOu actually think that I didn't know what babylou has stated", yes I actually think that and so does everyone else in this thread. Another thing you don't know is how silly you're making yourself look. There's no shame in admiting you were wrong, but you keep talking and digging yourself in deeper. That is not mixing things up, that's making yourself look like a foolish fanboi that has far more in common with the billboard you posted than any Vette owner.

Also, you seem to be confused about what people have been saying for years about the NSX, though most of that praise was early in its production. It was said that the NSX is the most realiable and daily driver friendly EXOTIC on the planet. 10 years ago that wasn't saying a whole lot, Ferraris had pretty poor build quality, as did most other exotics, and they also weren't realiable nor comfortable. The NSX is not a Civic, it's also not a Vette and is more finicky and far more expensive to fix than a Vette.

The C5 Z06 also will outhandle the NSX, the C6 with the suspension package probably won't have much problem either. Just because the NSX is mid engined doesn't mean it handles better. I think Porsche has proven over the years that engine placement isn't all that important if a car is set up properly.

More like I'm just a wise *** sometimes and like to mess with ppl.
The only person being messed with in this thread is you man, but keep talking, we're getting a good laugh out of it.

DARKMAZ8...your best bet is to start randomly cussing like a sailor in hopes this thread gets shut down because most everything you've said over the last 2 or 3 pages is complete ******* unsubstantiated and subjective fanboi bullshit. That's a start.

well i'm with darkmaz on this one... i just know on the track the "outdated" nsx will keep up with the c6 corvette, probably beat it. so american cars have finally caught up to japanese engineering.

now wait till next year and the new skyline gtr will put american cars back into place. the new supra if if comes out will be sure to make the corvette look like a prius. oh and they did not AXE the new nsx, they have been releasing concepts of the new nsx for the past 2 years and are finalizing the new engine. maybe a v10!!! check out the nsx boards, theyve been discussing it non stop.

in 2 years... chevys gonna have to play catch up again to the japanese automotive market.

As good as the NSX may be, they simply can't keep up with the more powerful Corvettes. People who uses NSX numbers are really using figures from the NSX-R, the top model version with more power, less weight but also way more expensive (probably over $100k if brought into the US).

Another thing is, the NSX-R isn't even sold in the US so a moot point for comparison.

But if you want to compare Apples to Apples, then try compare it to the Z06 (4.5/12.8 second car).

I like Japanese cars, but anyone who is a true car enthusiast would give the Corvette thumbs up for providing supercar performance at a super good price.

Basically Darkmaz took a Japanese car out of a hat and decided to use it as a basis for his argument which didn't work out because he obviously didn't do his research. Well that's what fanyboys do anyway :D

I honestly thought you were smarter than that IKE!!!! You actually think that I didn't know the facts when I posted that nonsense? I think you and babylou look like gulable newbies. I knew the facts and I knew it would spur up an argument when I made false claims toward the NSX. If you dig up my past posts on this subject you would see that I always bigged up the vette. I just hate these stupid discussions about topics that have no relevence. I am not a fanboi of the nsx, I know very well that ppl complain how slow they are for the price. You actually think that I don't know about vettes and how much more power they have than an NSX My dad has a ZR1 and is part of the vette club. I've been listening to vette stats since I was 10.

Trust me, If you ever do own me, it won't be this easy :p

And you haven't been banned why? You're no better than a 4-year old who argues for the sake of arguing, no matter what your reasoning is.

Oh well I guess I'm a bad boy. I'm not arguing, just making this thread more interesting. Otherwise we'd just have some "good luck with the vette" posts. :D
