[ne0_shiny]

edit: hmm
whats a corvetter?

hey yo, hey, hey yo
wait...cars are the things with wheels right? :frown:

 

[Danimal]

Don't even know what those cars are so I won't vote =/

 

[Tr0n]

Awww hell...I can't choose.

Guess I'll go for the nsx since it's mid-engine and there ain't so many here.

/me waits for disturbed to come into the thread

 

[lePobz]

NSX of course ... it may be a mass produced soul-less excuse for a sports car, but it sounds mint and goes like a rabbit on speed. Oh, and it's not american (so it can go round corners!)

 

[KoreBolteR]

nxs, by far..

Oh please don't start with "can't go around corners" bullshit.America ain't europe....Also the c5 can go around corners.

Watch the american le mans series...it smokes pretty much everything in the GT1 class.

 

[burnzie]

There both garbage...

 

[johnshafft]

The new Corvette Z06 ... underrated at 450hp naturally asperated can handle g loads higher than 1g all for under under 80k.

NSXs were cool in the early 90s but they've lost touch.

24hr at lemans should prove to any naysayers in this comparison on whats a better model.

[xLostx]

the nsx is sexy with a wide body kit mmmm

 

[Lemonking]

I dont know those 2 cars.

 

[AzzMan]

meh, I still like my 03 mustang gt

BTW I voted for NSX

Eh Vette's get pwned by Integra Type-R's on road tracks, what do you think it would do against an NSX Type-R?

 

[Vegeta897]

Which one has more RAM?

 

[Tr0n]

Get me some vids of a NSX beating a vette and I'll agree.

 

[LittleB]

Get me some vids of a NSX beating a vette and I'll agree.

It's a C4, but hey, you asked Owned.


BTW, that ET is pretty good, eh?

 

[Direwolf]

I'll have to go with the Vette, just because I feel like the NSX is seeming a little played out right now. Meanwhile the Corvette just has that kind of classic appeal, it'll still look good in a garage in ten or twenty years.

 

[Tr0n]

Ain't we talking about the C5?Sorry shoulda clarified that better.

So no, not owned.

Also I'm talking about a RACE TRACK...not a drag strip and yes that was a good ET.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

Ain't we talking about the C5?Sorry shoulda clarified that better.

No so no, not owned.

Also we are talking about a RACE TRACK...not a drag strip.

Hondas=track cars, they suck in straight line, anyone that tries doing it, must either build over a 2.0L motor for all motor or sleeve for turbo. I just build an NA monster, my friends 2.1L ITR motor was badass....:drools: I want to steal it.

 

[Adrien C]

The 99-04 mustang suck balls, it's a horible car, the new 05 has more of that mustang look.

 

[Tr0n]

Well I chose the nsx if ya'll didn't see my post before...again we was talking about how everyone says american cars can't turn.Which is why I said watch le mans or american le mans and watch the c5 (which is now the c6, but there is a few c5's) tear up the track and walk over all the ferraris and porsches.

 

[lePobz]

American cars have a reputation for poor handling on corners ... it's not me saying that, it's pretty much a well known fact (obviously not very well known to americans, guess you dont notice since most of your roads don't have corners anyway).

I've not seen the C5 so I can't really comment, I just know that the NSX is a very powerful and lightweight car - most american cars are heavier (because they have bigger engines) but the power-weight ratio remains almost the same with lighter cars, the only difference being more weight to haul round corners (not good) and higher fuel consumption (also not good).

I live in Connecticut, and we've got some of the craziest roads in the country around here. Believe me when I say that I notice when something doesn't corner well. Thats why I loved my old Saab, had an ancient rack-and-pinion system that let you feel the road far more than anything else I've driven since.

Mmmmm...not all our roads are straight dude...Hell I for one live on a mountain and most of our roads curve a lot...it's not till you get on the highway or interstate that the roads are straight and stay straight for a long long time.

So yea...guess you've never been to america?Thats a myth that most of our roads and streets are straight when that's pretty much bullshit.I will agree most of our basic cars like the mustang aren't good at cornering.

2002 C5 = 3118 lbs
2002 Acura NSX = 3153 lbs

2002 C5 = 19/28 mpg
2002 Acura NSX = 17/24 mpg

2002 C5 = 3118 lbs
2002 Acura NSX = 3153 lbs

I live in Southern Cali and about 98% of our roads are straight


And since the C5 and NSX weigh almost the same, I guess that means the NSX has better handling since it's midengine instead of front, right?



Aaaaanyway, I want an NSX because it's way more gorgeous then the Vette, and besides, everyone and their mother owns a Vette!

Most american cars do suck as around corners, when you compare them to imports. Its facts that backup it, can't go wrong with the facts. NSX>C5 in turning.

Oh...well I can understand californias roads being straight...but you being american and saying MOST of our roads are straight is disgraceful.

Also being mid-engine yes does matter...but hey if it did then why ain't most of the mid-engine ferrari's and porcshes constantly owning the c5's and c6's in le mans?

c5's have the c5-r motor not the stock motor, a lot more power than an ls1. Also the GT series porsche's you can buy with the motor they use in le mans, you can't buy a vette stock with a c5-r motor. OOOOOOOO BURN! BTW Carrera GT> Vette.

Oh I do agree most do, but say the C5 or viper sucks at handling...hell no.

Oh and if NSX > c5 eh?

http://speed.supercars.net/PitLane?viewThread=y&gID=3&fID=0&tID=10073

All those times come from sport auto mag...and all those cars are tested at world famous Nurburgring race track.

7:56 --- 155.798 kph -- Chevrolet Corvette C6 (company test driver Dave Hill)

8:09 --- 151.656 kph -- Honda NSX-R, 320 hp/1467 kg (sport auto 08/2002)

c5's have the c5-r motor not the stock motor, a lot more power than an ls1. Also the GT series porsche's you can buy with the motor they use in le mans, you can't buy a vette stock with a c5-r motor. OOOOOOOO BURN! BTW Carrera GT> Vette.

Ain't the arguement over nsx and the c5?

I want this supra:

7:21 --- 168.163 kph -- Blitz Supra, 650 PS (Autocar magazine 1997)

So the point is yes most american cars can't turn, but some can.Also don't forget the porsche costs more then a c5 and the c6 for that matter.

 

[AzzMan]

The 99-04 mustang suck balls, it's a horible car, the new 05 has more of that mustang look.

I think the 99-04 ones look badass. Dont like the 05 ones at all... :x

 

[Tr0n]

Also sorry for the double post but:

The Carrera GT cost $440,000....you can't possibly say that you can compare a 400k car to a 35k car.

Thats just stupid.

 

[johnshafft]

I love the the cornering comments put a car with the same wheel length against each other and then make comparisions. Then get the amount of Gs they can pull.

A lot of these comparisions equate to this I heard a motorcycle can turn better than a semi. It doesnt have anything to do with Who makes it

Midengine means Squat. its all about weight distribution. Do any of you know know the weight distribution of NSX vs the Corvette C5 or C6? I'll give you a hint one is 42/58 the other is 51.5/48.5

Littleb that ET is relativly weak. It also looks like the C4 missed a shift but the video doesnt provide that much info and still returns a half hearted 17 which is more than what some imports can muster

 

[johnshafft]

c5's have the c5-r motor not the stock motor, a lot more power than an ls1.

Your incorrect
The C5 has the ls1 (345 rwhp).
The C5 Z06 has the ls6(390 rwhp).
The C6 has the ls2 (390ish rwhp)
The C6 Z06 has the ls7 (500ish rwhp)
the C5R had a the C5R based ls6 with several other mods and are availbe to be purchased (just not a MFR option)

an interesting time in racing is is coming with the new Z06s

 

[xcellerate]

instead of dropping 50k on a z06, id spend 40k on an elise. And before i owned an NSX id ride my 21 speed bike...well maybe id take the nsx, then sell it, then buy the sickest 21 speed bike eva!


chipped AWP!

no dub fans?

 

[Tr0n]

Thank you johnshafft!

 

[LittleB]

Anyway, I started this discussion because I'm considering purchasing a used NSX.

Hell dude you don't need our advice...GET IT!

Yeah but what about the C5? Or a new 3-series? Or uhh... Early 90's S600 :naughty:

 

[Tr0n]

Well again it's up to you.

Just make sure you can afford the insurance.

 

[Shamrock]

I would pick any Acura over any car. Acura is one of my favorite companies.
