January 19, 2000, on Acura NSX Review:
What the hell..? The Corvette hardly coppied the NSX. If you look at the history of the Corvette, and you see what it has looked like for the past 40 years, you would know that the Corvette has ALWAYS had an engine outlet on the side of the car. If you look at what the C-5's engine outtake looks like, you can plainly see that it was carried over from the previous generation's design, slightly sculpting it and rounding it off, very different looking from the NSX's. The NSX doesnt have an engine outtake, it has an intake, facing the other direction, and it isnt nearly as (rounded) as the C-5's. The Acura is better than the Corvette in most aspects,I dont doubt that, but the C-5 isnt the typical American slouch that everyone thinks it is, because of the high level of unrefinement of the older generations. But it is just two totally different trains of thought. The NSX uses precision while the Corvette uses raw power, while still being refined. whatever, imconfusing myself hella bad...
