  Here are my comments on the Acura NSX: As far as balance in being a well rounded car, meaning it performs well in every aspect (not just the 1/4 mile), I think is it one of the greatest sports cars out there. If you want a car to handle, there are better cars. If you want a car to run the 1/4 mile, there are better cars. If you want your car to get up to 60 really fast, there are better cars. The NSX is well rounded that performs every performance categorie well with only one car I can think of that will beat it in every aspect-the Dodge Viper. A Viper pulls out more G's, is quicker through the slalom, runs the 1/4 mile faster, and is faster 0-60. The NSX clearly beats it only in braking. But the Viper is 10-15 grand cheaper. There is something people need to know about the NSX handling vs. a Viper. The Viper is more of a "Muscle Car." Where the NSX is mroe like... well, a Ferrari. Both cars have completely different feels to them. The Viper is rugged, harsh, and lound w...

  I posted earlier that I felt the NSX was a well rounded car. My friend recently got a 2000 Trans Am with the 4 speed automatic. Its handling is good for a car in its price range and category and its accelaration and speed potential is good for a car that is over twice as much. It gets good gas milage on he highway but flex your foot on the throttle and wave good-bye to that. Luckily, 2 weeks after my friend got his T/A we found the perfect race...an NSX. It was a race from a start of about 60 when we pulled along side it. Off we went. The NSX lost by about 3 car lengths up to about 100mph. This shows the NSX's only big weak spot....IT HAS LITTLE TORQUE AND APARENTLY GETS IT AT A BAD RPM. Torque is low end and horsepower high end. The NSX gets plently of hp considering its weight (not its price)....but torque is another story....220lb-ft??? My pushrod Ford Explorer puts out that much. Engine wise, I think the LS1 (referring to the Trans Am) is much better. It gets its max ...

  Man some of you people take this seriously. Do all of you people go and race your cars every weekend or something? If you do I guess paying 90 grand for a car is ok. If you get an NSX don't take it to the drag stip...it will make you sick when a car a third of the price runs off and leaves you. AS far as reliability goes....honda makes a great car. However I know a guy with a 94 Z28 that has 130k of pure racing on it and it will run off and leave an NSX and its not having any problems. It may not outhandle it but there are cars out there that can for half the price. If you want value, I'd get a Trans Am or a Vette. Both kick ass for the price and in my opinion look better. They need to update the NSX bad..I mean it looks the same as it did in like 91 when it came out. And they have more power....290 hp out of a 3.2L V6 isn't that great and wonderful like yall say it is because it has no torque. Make any engine spin really fast and you get hp but i'll be more appreciative of t...
