January 13, 2001, on Acura NSX Review:
First off, i feel i should say i am only eighteen, but my dad collects sports cars. I have driven the corvette, nsx, m3, camaro, and carrera (and am currently driving a '92 Q45 for practical reasons). Each of the cars has definite pluses and minuses, but what it comes down to is the feeling the car gives you when you are pushing it to the limits. Of all of those cars, the carrera is the one which gives the driver the greatest feeling of feedback and control. Although I liked the others, none of them gave me the all around feeling that i wanted. The corvette and camaro had speed, but the suspension did not feel right. The m3 was great, as good as the carrera but when it comes down to it, who doesn't want a convertible? As for the Nsx, i had two main problems with it. One, i expect more torque from an $80,000 dollar car. Two, the suspension did not give me the same feedback that i got from the porsche and bmw. Anyway, thats my two cents.
