Next generation Honda NSX..

Cmike2780 · 05-20-2012, 11:08 PM

I think they're going for less is more instead of engaging the other manufacturer in a hp war. If they make it a true drivers car with ample performance, it's a win. I'm curious to see how the hybrid vectoring tech is truly going to effect how it handles around a track. You only need to look at something like the top gear laps to see how the specs don't always win. Also, by the corvette rationale, the 911 should be a flop....then again there's a lot in a name. Honda doesn't have the same prestige as Porsche.

This is why all eyes are on the FT-86. Does the market really want a "drivers car" or are we hitting a point in the industry norm where we treat our cars no more than our toaster ovens.

Why should the 911 be a flop? It's one of the fastest, most powerful cars on the planet, with 650 horsepower in factory GT2 trim.
Or it's docile, and a GREAT driver's car, with ample power to feel sporty, in the base 911 trim. The 911 has a trim level for every desire. AWD, RWD, N/A, TT, you name it. It's a helluva success, and Corvette has emulated the 911 philosophy.

FTFY

I test drove 911s before buying my Z. Besides the real reasons I didn't go with a used 996, I had no trouble spinning it and knew it could have been the death of me. I also know I can't ever have a sportbike

Edit: Still looking forward to actual NSX details and reviews.
