I must admit that nothing beats the F-car sound, especially an angry 355. The 360 is missing something relative to the 355. But from the cockpit, the NSX reminds me of a 360 above 5-6K when the VTEC kicks in. |

BJ, we had an Acura Nsx, actually 2 of them. Great little cars. As for trading for the Skyline Gtr, which unless highly modded is definately not the fastest car on the planet, never. What it is, inmo is one of the ugliest cars on the planet. If i wanted fast Jap junk id buy a Supra. |

I also considered buying a NSX but could not get over the over all feel of the car or styling of the car, and I agree with David, the rear end including lights has to be its worst feature. It felt like any ordinary ACURA under 4000RPM, all hell broke loose after that but the sound a style of a Ferrari can not be beaten, IMHO. |

I would love to have a Skyline GTR. Are there many of those cars here in the uSA ? |

Allan, I agree that the rear lights of the NSX look great~!! Why don't you trade your wife's F355 to NSX? Furthermore, you may want to trade your Diablo to Skyline GTR too. (which is the fastest car on the planet) If you do, you will be king of the road in terms of both styling (NSX) and performance (GTR). I am so jealous on how lucky you are~

Obviously driver skill plays into this; what are the 0-100 times typically for the two cars in most published periodicals? The NSX has always been a formidable car. I considered getting one a few years back, but the overall look and sound did not appeal to me. The rear lights of the NSX is probably one of it's worst features, along with the early models wheels... |
