By reading Leonidae's Skyline R32 GT-R V-Spec '93 review ( stock ) I really wanted to drive one GTR aroung a little :rolleyes: so I did 2 laps around El Capitan to see how it would handle. I noticed something strange and to be sure I headed to the 'ring, my new "playground". Lately i'm trying to get good at it so I put the GTR against my ghost in an NSX.

Some might ot understand what I mean, this is a feeling expressed in words after all...but I really mean it.
By seeing the GTR against myself in the NSX, it's clear that the limits of the NSX are "higher" than GTR's. By driving 100% the Nissan's might chase the Honda's car, but at full power, the NSX is definitely quicker. The NSX is scary driving 100%, and the GTR isn't. :odd:
I felt safer pushing the R34 around the corners and the car was very easy to correct if I did some mistakes. The brakes were powerful and corner exits were good!
The Honda, on other hand, was "nervous" :boggled: If both did perfect laps, the NSX win easily I think, but it's a lot harder to keep 100% on it. A mistake and you're spinning :nervous:

Could someone drive both cars and make some comments? I hope I'm not getting :dunce: and just had some 💡 ! Also, what times you guys can do at Nurb with those cars? Just for comparsion... :scared:

See ya later!
 
The NSX is a faster car stock for stock as it should be, it's proven that with real life lap times.

I ran a comparison of an R33 GTR and the NSX across all teh GT series and my opinions match yours.

Take a look

WOW!! :dopey: Your conclusions are exactly the same as the one I reached, but I couldn't express very well!! That's a very interesting test there 👍
Do you have any other articles like that?? :cheers:
About real life stuff, in various Best Motoring videos the staff agreed that the NSX is superior (especially the brakes :confused:). But I ran with an R34 and the newest NSX-R... and i'm just starting to get the hang of Nurb too.
As for lap times, I think the NSX is a little faster but the GTR is a more "docile" car... (if anyone could say that about a car :) ).
