well what did you expect against an NSX round a track? TVR's are muscle cars designed to go in a straight line as fast as possible

Holy crap. I wouldn't trust anyone behind the wheel of a car that doesn't have any clue how to use punctuation in a sentence...much less a paragraph/sentence. So...try to work on that before you post again. Thanks!

And as far as I know, there is no Si civic on/before 1996.



Just looked at this thread for the second time and noticed this.

Shob, why do you have to be such an arse to this guy, HE JUST JOINED! Leave him alone you KNOB. At least give him a chance to try before you beat him down. Go off into a corner and re-think about what you just did, come up with a half decent apology, and then come back. Jeesh.

the car in the video has 420 ps, watch it again! even if it's a small track it was absolutely killed! it was a tuscan speed 6! and type-R cost much less. what the hell are we arguing about? you really don't think the NSX type-R is fast? I just don't understand why you keep arguing, and lighter weight means better performance and handling.

First off, the 420 one just like it was stated was not the Tuscan. You sound pretty piss off with the ! and the responses like "watch it again" I was never argueing at least i wasnt. I thought i was just having a conversation with another JDM fan. This is how i conversate. Im sorry if you got the impression i was arguing with you because i never intended to.

HELL YEAH! The NSX-R is fast. If it wasnt then how did it keep up with the 2004 Corvette Z06 and the GT3 Porsche. ITS INCREDIBLE FAST, even faster than my beloved GT-R i will admit. The NSX-R is in my TOP THREE FAVORITE CAR so yeah i love it very much. All im simply saying is that with the Tuscan with 400bhp it would be a closer match. Also the track was small if it was bigger like Frisco it would have been a more entertaining match. Between the 400bhp TVR speed 6 and the 280bhp Honda NSX-R, I would choose the NSX-R even though it cost less, i still love it. Yes I know lighter weight mean better performance thats was what we was talking about. Why the NSX-R is so fast. Its mostly all because its a stripped NSX. meaning NO A/C and power windows (at least i think not sure). I mean if you live in a hot place like texas you would know why you would want a A/C. For regular ride i would probably take the Type S Zero (its not stripped) for weekend trips and track use no doubt the NSX-R will destory the NSX-S Zero there is a big difference in performance there.

I would think with the 400bhp the TVR Speed 6 wouldnt be smoked that badly. So that was all i wanted to state that the TVR and NSX-R is very close in performance. TVR using its massive power pushing 400BHP from an I6 and the NSX-R using its light weight as a big advantage.
 
oh ok I just got the impression you were arguing with me. so you do know the type-R is fast :D
