I think the NSX is a great car, in no way shape or form would I trade and or consider dumping my TT for the NSX. I wouldn't even do it with my old 99c4. Again I am not knocking the NSX at all I think they are great cars. Just not my cup of tea

that is pretty funny. the nsx is a better comparison with the 996 non-tt. doubt many 996 non tt owners would trade for the honda, much less tt owners.

But the NSX is, IMO, an exotic. It is better than Porsche and on the same level as Aston Martins or Lotus and those are considered exotic.
F50, Enzo, CarreraGT, McLaren, Koenigseeg, Zonda, ... are SUPER EXOTIC!"
even 10 years ago, i didn't want a NSX
. 10 years later, looks like it is still the same
i think Honda doesn't know how to redesign the NSX to look better!

Just because the engine figures seem low does not mean the car can't perform.
The NSX was way ahead of its time.
All aluminum body, all aluminum suspension, anitlock brakes and traction control, Variable valve timing, 8000 rpm redline. This was all in 1990.
Its handling and balance are very hard to beat, even with todays line of cars.
Performance is not just about hp figures. I have a friend who is a superior driver (not me) and he walks on most porsches at the race track all day long.
Anyhow, would I buy a brand new NSX for $73,000 (that's what you can get them for), no I wouldn't. But the NSX is a very amazing car.

it's a great car, just outdated, needs a big bump in some HP to start playing again. The handling of the car is unreal though

Now my stage IV on the other hand....
You would have to say it has held up over time. But it should have been redesigned a few years ago..
But it IS A HONDA....

I really don't see how it can out perform the non TT 911. The torque or horsepower is not very impressive for a car that claims to be an exotic. The only thing I find exotic about that car is the price tag.
Like I was saying.....

Yea, i've driven a boosted one before and it made a HUGE improvement on the car.
Honda's aren't that bad, it shouldn't be about the brand, it's about the car (but what do I know, I own a couple honduhs
)
