Honda NSX: it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,7 seconds, can go up to 270 km/h and it costs 199'900'000 Italian Liras. Ferrari 360 Modena: it can accelerate from 0 to 100 Km/h in 4,5 seconds, can go up to 295 km/h and it costs 230'000'000 Italian Liras. The 360 Modena is also the best handling Ferrari of all times, and most european magazines say that it is the best handling car nowadays. So, I' m sorry for the Honda NSX, which is a great car, but the Ferrari is another planet. And Ferrari has also got something that Honda has not got. It is called "history". If you own a Ferrari you own a piece of the glorious Italian sports car history, which include also Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Lamborghini. Andrea, Italy
To Hiroatso Sugimoto. Of course prices are from Italian dealers. But I' m surprised that in your country Ferraris are so expensive. I mean: they' re expensive also here, but there' s some difference between American and Italian prices. As a Dollar is now about 2,100 Liras, a 360 Modena here costs $109,523. You talked to me of $150,000-220,000! The 2000 Lamborghini Diablo with the new 6.0 Liters engine (405 KW, about 550 HP) and the new carbon fiber body costs $190,476: I wonder what' s the price in the USA... To Lazaro A. Please don' t tell me that Honda is specialized in racing. It races, but I would call Ferrari "a company that specializes in racing", not Honda. Do you know how is going the F1 constructors' championship? 1. Ferrari (Ferrari engine) 2. McLaren (Mercedes-Benz engine) 3. Williams (BMW engine) 4. Jordan (Mugen Honda engine) 5. Benetton (Supertec engine) 6. BAR (Honda engine) 7. Sauber (Petronas engine) And I remind you that Ferrari is a little company. I...
To Hiroatsu Sugimoto, That' s strange, because to me seems that Ferrari has 9 constructors' titles, and Honda 6. Honda had some glorious years in the past, when the great Ayrton Senna was in the McLaren-Honda team. Now Honda engineers three different teams (!) but gets no results. Ferrari races since F1 championship exists, got the 1999 title and it is first in the 2000 one. I' m sure Honda is the best racing car maker in Japan. Ferrari is the best worldwide.
Do you remember a car called Bugatti EB 110 SS? It was 1996, and it came out with an incredible 3.5 liters V12, 60 Valves, 4 turbochargers, more than 600 HP. It reaches 351 Km/h. I' m sorry that in Japan there are speed and power limits, but in Europe they don' t exist. I mean: In Italy for example there' s the speed limit of 130 Km/h, but no power limit on the cars. In Germany there is no power limit and neither speed limit. On German motorways it' s legal to go as fast as your car can. And this is a good condition for engineering sports cars. To Lazaro A. You say great things about your favourite car brand, but unfortunately you speak hypotetically: "Honda could race better than Ferrari, if wanted to". Why? Is that because Honda don' t want that gets no results in F1? When NSX will get the 400 HP V8 (another hypotesis...) we will see who is faster between NSX and 360 Modena. Another thing: I see that the NSX runs up to 60 mph in 5.8 sec, but the automatic trasmission version ta...

To Ron Suryiopas: Honda Italia importes the NSX Couph and the NSX T. They' re both 3.179 liters with 280 HP. Honda Italia declares 5.7 sec for the couph and 5.8 for the T to go from 0 to 60 mph. And 6.5 sec for the automatic versions. Honestly I don' t know why the American one is faster. I must also say that the NSX Couph here costs 200,192,000 Italian Liras. The Viper GTS costs 168,992,000. The Porsche 911 Carrera costs 146,267,000. The Corvette costs 110,192,000. I agree when you say that one can' t compare the NSX with the 360 Modena. You must tell it to some NSX fans who say that it' s better than a Ferrari!
