    NetViper you owe me for this.

    I can gaurentee you that if you polled 20 young girls ages 18-30, that all of them would prefer the Nsx over a 328. The Nsx is much more modern looking. The Ferrari is now, just an old Ferrari, associated with Magnum Pi. Nothing special. I know this for certain from many experiences in the past, and from as recently as a few months ago when i had that 86 328GTS at my house in Maui. All the girls remarked it was old and awful, and my wife brought up how i wanted her to get a 328 over her old Nsx. They all asked if i was Nuts.

    Allan should i post the video of you trying to pass people in your NSX? its almost dangerous, the car accelerates like a bus.

    I said before i like the car if i had a large collection i would have a 98+ nsx in it. But the the people brag about the NSX's handling, but they never drive the car to its handling capabilities anyway! i like to look at the sides of the front tires on sports cars, can tell how hard people drive their cars :)

    Listen up there fruitylips. I never said it was fast! Faster than a 328 though. Oh and btw, i remember it being very close with stock C5's when i had it.

    Hey every car has it bad points. and everyone is entitled to thier own opinion. I agree NSX is overpriced a bit, and needs power,-TIFOSI-but playing your girl catching game, I can do the same- you may get the looks, but I'll smoke your 328 by a long shot =) and your teenybopper fans dont like to ride with losers.

    No, I have no hatred whatsoever, I was merely responding to a comment thrown my way,

    That too in incorrect, I love all cars, have owned Vettes, Japanese turbos (3000GT VR4) hopped up Mustangs, Benzes. I never said anything about inferiority, again, I responded to a stab taken at MY car directly whereas I made a statement of FACT that bang-for-the-buck, vettes are faster and better performing than the NSX and YES, most definately than my car. However, image, mystique and racing pedigree are absent in the NSX.

    Point taken, I do not feel I have a BLIND love for Ferrari, there are many, many cars I love, but I concede the NSX is a great car.

    I never compaired my 308 to an NSX. Of course the NSX will eat it for lunch,heck a mini van would probbably have it's way with me as well..but I really don't care. I was like you once aswell my friend but the only difference is that I grew up.

    Your NSX is a Honda..plain and simple. No matter how much chrome, skirt kits and wings you can install, it is still a Honda at the end of they day. It is a car that people buy who are afraid of the real sports cars. Ones that are respected world wide. Not by just a small group of people. Mention Ferrari to most people and they know what it is. Mention Honda..well they think of a civic or an accord.

    Why not compaire your car to the Ferrari of the time like the 348. Yes all the magazines raved about the Honda..but notice at the end of most articals which car they would choose if they had a choice of SPORTS CAR. The Ferrari of course.

    So get off the crack and enjoy you car, and I will enjoy mine. Just be thankful that you are in a position to afford a nice car. Don't try to justify your reasons for buying a car to sombody who really does not give a crap for the reasons you give.

    If you really think that Ferrari's are that bad..then why are you here? Why do you even bother trying to justify your purchase? Are you really that insecure with your car? Do you wish you had bought a Ferrari? Are you really a female in a mans body? Not that there anything wrong with that. But go and cry the blues someplace else were people are used to making excuses..like maybe your favorite car site.

    Fastest time attack lap times:
    1:36.0 - Lamborghini Gallardo
    1:36.6 - Lamborghini Murcielago
    1:36.9 - Honda NSX Type-R
    1:39.6 - BMW M3 CSL
    1:40.4 - Porsche 911 Turbo
    1:40.9 - Ferrari 360 Modena

    Found this on prime. It's from the Bestmotoring video for this month. Kind of interesting.... I wonder how my Esprit would do there..... Of course, without me driving...

    That Porsche Turbo was a tiptronic.

    Ive owned two NSX's and would even take one over a 355.They were great cars and never gave me one problem.I beat a lot of different cars with them and they got a ton of looks.This,however,is just my opinion.I would definitely own another one if given the garage space.

    On a side note,I saw a 308 get out-dynod by a stock Prelude.Ouch.

    The Type R is much like my '03 but weight is reduced by 180lbs(?) and stiffer suspension.

    The M3CLS has some impressive numbers too... you should be careful.. some of these M3's out there can kick vette/Ferrari/NSX/Lotus ass...

    Yeah, but it's still an M3 and the other cars would have to be limited to the first 2 gears...

    Those Best Motoring Videos are crap. The NSX would have finished last in that battle but since those Japanese people probably put 50k of mods in the car it did alright.
