might be quicker than the gtr but i reckon it'll cost something like 250K+ on the road...

I will get one if it is cheaper or almost the same price as an M3
There is no way the GTR is quicker than the Carrera GT. NICE TRY!!! LOL...Quote:

I'm liking the sound. Never heard a Honda sounding so DAMN MEAN!!!!!Quote:

I don't know if its just the recording, but it sounds a lot like a Carrera GT when approaching the final right hand turn.
Nah. That'll probably be Type-R Version.Quote:

its a pity the mid engine rear drive layout is gone. I still prefer the original NSX. Even until today its one of the best looking sportscar around.
It sounds very mean, I like it

with a (rumoured) 5l v10 how can it not beat a 6cylinder skyrine? its got 4 more cylinders? who wants to be the first to explain this to me?
OK! Not an expert but here goes... Firstly, yes, in a straight line drag to 100 km/h and around a track, a GTR (no longer known as a skyline) IS almost lineball with but marginally quicker than the Porsche Carrera GT (fastest production car around the ring... if it has been produced... it's slower than the GTR.. currently... including the Koenigsegg and the Veyron, which was 18 sec slower from memory!). GTR is slower in longer straight line sprints like 400m+...Quote:

Engine in GTR is twin turbo 3.8L... Veyron 16 cylinders, quad turbo etc etc. It's getting more and more about trick gearboxes, traction control, electronic aids to steering, braking, suspension, launch control etc. My donks the biggest won't work anymore!
Handling and outright top-end stonk is what rules the ring.
For comfort and daily driveability, the GTR wins almost any supercar comparo.
Where the NSX, if it ever comes about!, must succeed is driver involvement and aural stimulation. The GTR's performance milestones are not what Honda will be chasing. They will be targeting the 'everyday' supercar crown, with reliability and techno-brilliance thrown in for good measure!
I still think it's an NSX mule not an S2000, but don't expect Honda to encourage talk of comparing it to LF-A and GTR... they'll hit you with the numbers they think matter when the time is right!!!
