If we were talking about circuit racing you would of had a point.

You are right about going fast in a straight line though. The only thing is, to make a stock NSX faster, it will cost you alot of money. A "cheap" header is $1,200, a decent exhaust will be about the same. Most supercharger kits are $6,000+.

So maybe it's not so "easy" to go fast in a straight line. :)

And a cheap turbo-kit on a VR6 Jetta will murder an NSX. NSX's are over-rated. :lol:



Who wouldn't? :D

I just got to this.. well um so ur soing a few mods to a 1.8T jetta will beat a NSX and a VR6 with a cheap turbo kit will murda the NSX? You said your friend jetta beat a NSX so would you say ur friends jetta run high 12s? That is very impressive... saying NSX is overrated is definately wrong. They are underrated as far as i know. Alot of people think since it has a 290hp V6 that it cant touch a Z06 in the 1/4... that is quite wrong. The NSX is capable of 12.8 JDM verison but the USDM verison NSX still runs 13.0s which is very impressive with a 290hp V6... the Z06 is a 405hp V8 and it runs 12.5-12.7 thats pretty impressive and the Z06 has more then 100hp more then the JDM or USDM verison. Why do you consider the NSX overrated?

also back to ur friends jetta.. ur saying it would run high 12s with minor modifications? Thats fast... what do you consider minor modifications?
 
With minor mods you can make one of these cars...

You need to read the post's nice and slow. I didn't say my friend, someone else did.

And yes, I would say a VR6 Jetta with a relatively cheap turbo kit, a competent driver, and appropriate tires would run a 12.

Comparing the NSX to a Z06 is pointless. Your looking at a roughly 30 - $40,000 difference. And the Z06 beats it in almost every performance aspect there is. It even gets better gas mileage. :lol:

I should of been more clear. The NSX is overrated in straight line acceleration. :)

Here's a new line for your sig:
Getting tailgated by a car that costs half the price of your NSX, PRICELESS! :lol:
 
I never said the NSX is cheap... well in Japan i guess you can get NSX for cheaper. NSX is better quality then the Z06 you should know that. a 405 hp vs a 290hp comparison in a straight line is pointless by the look but they are closer then you think. the Z06 is an incredible fast car but you know what the NSX-R ran the same time at nurburinging curcuit which is long germany curcuit if you didnt know. The NSX-R ran a 7:56 the Z06 2004 one ran 7:56 and the GT3 Porcshe ran 7:56 so when you said it almost beat it in every aspect maybe the base model NSX but if you think of it.. the NSX-R the more race tuned NSX lighter by around 300-400 pounds and a better suspention then the Z06 and its stripped but no power mod to the engine and run the same time as a 2004 Z06.. dont tell me that isnt amazing. Everyone disses on the NSX because it cost alot and i know it does i agree you can get better cars for cheaper it is no where near overrated everyone i talk to have a car cheaper in mind that they would take over the NSX. Overrated at straight line aceleration.. well if a NSX with 290hp at crank and 250hp at wheel the NSX get to 60mph in 4.5second which is pretty amazing. Even though the GT-R is 4WD it cant launch off the line better then the Midengine RWD pure sportcar NSX.

How about with that sig joke... thats not funny at least i dont find it funny but oh well just stating my opioin and your just stating yours but anyways.

VR6 with turbo and good driver can beat a stock NSX but you said a 1.8T Jettat with MINOR MODS can beat a NSX thats plain BS. What mods where on it?
 
The NSX-R isn't sold in North America, therefore it's not worth mentioning.

A 1.8T with a larger turbo/intercooler/clutch/injectors-f.pump/ecu/sticky tires would be a threat. Some will argue the mods are not "minor" but considering they're all bolt-on's, that can be installed within' a matter of minutes/hours, their "minor" to me.

There is no debate when it comes to a road course who will win. (As pointed out earlier.)

I love the NSX, and I've defended it for years. But facts are facts, the Z06 is an obscenely better deal than the new(er) NSX. Especially when it comes to the cost/benefit in performance gains of aftermarket parts.

I know the NSX-R isnt sold in North America but if you want a NSX to compete with the top of the line corvette.. at least get the top of the line NSX.. right?

Those you consider "minor" mods.. well even though they are bolt ons i dont really consider them minor.. but anyways i guess they could be classified as minor modifcations.

I heard somewhere NSX was like hand made or something, Im not sure but anyways NSX is more luxuries then the Z06 i think and it look better IMO :lol: but yeah Z06 is cheap for its price but if i could choose which means i dont have to pay i rather have my NSX :D
 
Oh yeah Z06 arent sold in japan so there is noway to really compare Z06 vs NSX-R in japan so when they took it to the Ring track i though the Z06 would have won but to my surprise the NSX-R ran the EXACT same time as the new 2004 Z06.. which to me is very amazing.. less power but better balance.
 
I agree.. I see tons of Corvette Z06 models or not they look the same IMO. I only seen 1 NSX in my life thats not alot.. its because they cost alot and low on the performance side as power or striaght line goes..

Their straight line performance/"low hp" has nothing to do with them having low sales figures in America. Most people here can't justify spending $90,000 on a car that "competes"
(I use this word loosely) with cars half it's cost.

You either buy an NSX for it's looks. Or you buy one for what it is, a race-bred car for the track. It's too bad the only place an NSX can show what it's made of, is the track.

I also doubt you see "tons of Z06's".
 
Well i do see about at least 5 Z06 in a month here in TN, im not sure about where you live but i see some Z06 often. There is one local Z06 here at my high school, belongs to a old man..

I guess if there were 1,000 Z06's in your city, it still wouldn't matter.

heck yeah C5s are everywhere Z06s too.

however the NSX does need more HP. you can get a 350z and it has just as much hp. the STI has more too and they both cost less. time for honda to crank up the powa to 400
 
oh yeah.. i was kinda exaggerating when i said i seen a ton of z06.. a ton is 2000 so.. :lol: I do see about 2 -3 Z06 in a week but there are two local Z06 in my area... thats only in my area so yeah i do see z06 commonly..
 
Ok... I know why the GT3 was slow. In the Drag Racing video The 911 GT3 was a road verison of some sort it said 360ps/7200rpm that isnt the one your thinking of. The NSX and GT-R both rip it up. Im very sure its the same GT3 in the video 360ps. Its not the new GT3 so now that i found that out, the GT3 didnt do too bad.

Guess that is the reason why the GT3 is so slow for those who didnt know. I was just searching for BM videos and i found out why GT3 was slower.
