Honda should use vtec and develop turbo systems to work with them from the factory. That in my opinion would make for some outstanding performance. I've never been a huge honda fan, but looking at aftermarket turbo kits on nsx's, preludes, civics you name it and I think they could have gone a different route and kept a lot of their fuel efficient but powerful concepts.
@YiMMA2k5 Why? The engine wouldn't even fit for one, and for two, that kind of goes against everything honda has established since the company started. Why sacrifice everything when V-Tec can do it, and twice as good, at a quarter of the cost. Counter-production doesn't work.
@AngrySackBoy they can make a v12, during the 90's, the years of aryton senna's reign he's honda was a turbocharged v12. If you go on m5board.com they have an e30 m3 that has a v12 swap, it rips alot of cars. I also thought the nsx would then actually become a ferrari.
The biggest mistake ferrari ever made in building their cars back in the day was their gated shift pattern, its near impossible to shift those things fast.
And by the way I'm lmfao'ing at the fools saying the Ferrari dude can't drive. This is a Best Motoring video. ALL of these cats are slick dick mf'ers behind the wheel.
Its obvious not many of you boys on here have driven a Ferrari or anything with a gate-shift before. The 2nd to 3rd, and 4th to 5th up-shifts are hard as hell to nail. He's looking down at the gate so he doesn't miss the next shift.
The nsx s and r models has more than 280 hp, (like other jap hi performance cars, skyline gtr , supra bi turbo etc) an agrement beetwean jap carmakers was made to officially limit the hp, to 280, but some actualy have over 320. The nsx s is also 150 kg lighter and has lower gear ratio compared to the "stock" nsx. A 355 is a lot faster after 150 kph.
I love how everyone here talks about ..its a type-s or type-r! It doesnt matter what type it is, it still has only 280hp! Not to mention the guy in the ferrari clearly doesnt know how to drive it!
This is exactly what the Nsx was built for during its time, to compete against Ferrari & other super cars, not to mention most of the Nsx's design contribution was from Senna as well.
japs never do fair tests?theres anoher japanese vid on here of a Mclaren F1 vs a Toyota Supra and the F1 smoked it by 20 car lenths...tell me that's not a fair test.
the f1 is probably still one of the fastest accelarating cars made pal! so its bound to beat a jumped yaris turbo! there's a few vids of a nsx beating a 355 seen here, an old m3 and even a m6!
yes i know the NSX can beat a 355 and M6 but theres people on here who claim that these tests are "fixed" and biased towards the japanese supercar.i'm just saying that these tests aren't fixed by giving the example of the F1 vs the supra vid.
Well if you dont remember that vid the only reason they compared is because the supra was a veilside version which had like crazy horspower. It had much more than the mclaren F1 and thats why they wanted to test it to see who would win. They were surprised that the Mclaren literally MURDERED it when they di the quarter mile. Plz learn to read.
please learn to read what?what exactly am i mistaking here i said the F1 beat the supra hands down.i never said whether it was a stock supra or a veilside supra.i'm just saying that the F1(which is NOT a japanese car)beat the supra which IS a japanese car,so the test wasn't biased towards the japanese.looks like you need to learn how to read.
LOL. wow wrong post. now i feel like the idiot, i was posting for another vid but it was just the supra and mclaren... sorry. But yeah the mclaren murdered it. its my fav car too :D oh sorry again.
lol it's cool we all make mistakes XD and yes the F1 is still one of the greatest supercars in existence even though it has been many years since its came to be.
yeah surprisingly it got nearly the same time as the veyron around the 'Ring and the GTR spec or the Race car to street legal conversion got 7:11 seconds around the Nurburgring, it was drive by mika hakinnen or something.
Both drivers are good buth the F355 gearbox is a shit when the oil is cold, quite impossible to shift the 2nd and the 4th, and there is no turbo on it! and the NSX is much more lighter, here is the result!
why not? its an old car, even my 11year old carina would need a gb oil change...
and the oils viscosity changes with temperature... just like wax (which is an "oil" too), room temperature: solid (i.e. candle), heat it with a lighter: fluid... same with engine and gb oil...
thats why we wait till the engine (oil) is warm...
I think you misunderstand me, old ferrari, and the 355 is one of these have a really hard to shift gearbox! especially when the engine is cold and especially on 2nd and 4th. That's all
you have to seriously understand that the nsx was built AFTER the ferrari -- honda set out to beat the 355 -- they had a goal -- ferri awnsred with the 360 -- go watch that video and tell me "OIL TEMP OIL TEMP" -- nsx is now building the new v10 to beat the gtr -- having a goal is what makes cars better -- not cars worse.
They set out to beat the 348 not the 355 the NSX came out in 89 the 355 was 94 get your facts correct before posting haha!!! Ferrari fixed most of the problems that the 348 had on the 355 but did not up date the interior etc. Id like to see a base NSX or an Acura NSX vs the F355. Or since they are racing a special model NSX why not go up against a F355 Challenge? The guy in the video driving the F355 doesnt look like he is shifting correctly either...
nsx wins basically every race on this show with an exception to cars that are way out of its league power wise...even when the other car 'should win', it magically bogs down a bit between first and second to give the nsx the win...
I love the nsx btw, but i have my suspicions that this show is a little bit biased towards honda/jdm cars. I could be wrong, just an opinion!
well u have to think about the fact of how well honda makes thare cars and 2th could be a driver even the drift king owns a few hondas that should tell u somthing and he has a gtr to me honda and nissan make some of the best cars around
the driver of the ferrari had to shift with the right hand and japanese people shift with the left hand because they have the wheel at the right side. in adition, the ferrari started at low revs
at the start the only engine you can hear is NSX´s engine
their professional racing car drivers, I'm sure he'd have a bit of practice driving left hand drive car... and also go learn a bit about the NSX before you try and hang shit on it, the Ferrari is an awesome car, it was beaten get over it
hello! wake up dumb ass! even if the ferrari got a bad start or what ever! it got 100HK MORE THAN THA Nsx!! so the ferrari should take the nsx if u se it that way. BUT! honda buildt a better car then the ferrari here! and to cal the nsx a pice of junk! that just stupid! then u dont know shit about cars! wonder why they says that the nsx is one of the best sport car ever buildt!??!
@hondaforlife666 last time I checked, the NSX never had a waiting list to buy one. the people decided they didn't like the NSX. math's a bitch isn't it.
I wouldn't really call a car helped designed by Ayrton Senna a piece of junk, but the Ferrari driver sucks at shifting. So Ferrari would win with a decent driver.
its not how the stats show of both cars its the drivers, the guy in the ferrari cant drive. ferrari will beat NSX if you put decent drives in both cars.. ferrari is build professionly by hands. yeah sure lol NSX is a piece of junk...
I don't think 14 year old Mclaren fanboys are entitled to call the NSX a piece of junk.
Nice NSX. The Ferrari did actually pull forward and nearly overtook the NSX near the finish line but the NSX started gaining again. So I'd say it would be a pretty even race if both drivers were hot on the trot.
dont forget juichi wakisaka - search supra vs supra jgtc to see wat i meen !!>_<!! - the video has the definition of japanese driver skill - tho race should not prove any advantage or disadvantage in driver skill - thats just your racist bullshit
the F355 got a beautiful style and the name goes with it, but it brutal to drive as we can see in the video! I hope Honda will eventually introduce the second generation of the NSX !!! Dont be so political correct! just build the damn car!
first off 355 would smoke an nsx anyday on straight as for cornering or track i honestly think the nsx would have take it.But honestly japanese driver are not really that good im sorry to say but majority of them cant drive worth of shit.
look at Keiichi Tsuchiya, Manabu Orido, Motoharu Kurosawa, Naoki Hattori, Kazuyoshi Hoshino, etc. etc... they're better than you or any punk-ass american racer at any rate so shut the fuck up.
Really what happen to Orido in Nascar !! What about the japanese drivers in F1 racing !!! Didn't Vaughn Gitten Jr take ot Kazama in their own D1 event !! exactly Japanese drivers suck at driving but make good cars
Id have to agree that the guy in the Ferrari didnt know how to drive it. Bouncing it off the rev limiter does kill time u know.
