People think regular NSXs are a lot faster then what they really are. There slower then a 350Z/370Z around a track. It's the JDM only limited production NSXR that's quick around a track. The regular NSX just barely out handled the 300ZX, Supra, RX-7 in the early 90s.

The 1992 version should not have been competitive with you unless he had extensive after market parts. The 1996 however is virtually the same. Oh, as to another poster's remark about the NSX out handling our cars, in a word...no, well, at least not the Sport model. The base a little, but then again the base autos have always shown the quickest 1/4 times too (13.1 for example). Year Make Model Engine HP Torque 0-60 ¼ Mile Skidpad |

My friend just bought a 96 NSX...we were messing around on the freeway and I always seem to pull on him. Any how, I always thought they were exotic looking....love the shape....beautiful car. I'm sure the 97+ models should give our Z's good competition.

Sadly, they built a masterpiece and then just polished it up from year to year without ever truly updating it. It has fallen by the wayside, but it's a great footnote in history! Last edited by ImportConvert; 04-26-2011 at 02:35 AM. |

That can't be right because the 2012 GTR ran 7:24 in semi wet. That 350Z time was probably not the a full circuit. Last edited by elmz; 04-26-2011 at 12:32 PM. |

Whaaat?! Honda tuned the NSX according to Ayrton Senna's feedback. And for those who don't know, he is considered by many as the best driver in the history of Forluma1. That's pretty "super" if you ask me.

Import tuner did an exhaust install on an NSX in a recent issue. I think they said that the whole install from headers back took 13 hours to do, cost a small fortune and didnt provide very impressive power gains. While I agree the old NSX has past its prime, I still can't wait for Honda to release the new one, I'm guessing lighter R8 at GT-R price?

I think Audi will be coming out with the lighter, cheaper R8 before Honda replaces the NSX unfortunately.
The NSX isn't faster in a straight line, but it often surprises others due to it's high redline and flat torque curve which let's it stay in lower gears longer. The 370Z is similar in that regard.

My only experience with the NSX was a few years ago against my stage I 06 WRX. Ran the guy three times from a roll. As most of you know subys aren't exactly known for their rolling starts but I kept up with him most of the way. We shut it down all three times going about 110 and all three times he was only about a car length ahead. He had an aftermarket exhaust but what else I'm not sure. For those who aren't familiar the 06 WRX was capable of 13.9 on average with some, including my self, getting it down to 13.7-13.8 in stock trim. Stage 1 and my CBE didn't yeild a whole lot over stock in terms of power. I'm pretty sure if I had my Nismo Z back then I would have easily walked away from him.
