Cool cars. As they said on 5th Gear. You see someone in a NSX and you KNOW the owner is a true enthusiast.

But God awful links mate. Can't you just copy 1 link for us to watch

Yea, ive driven a few, and on the road (but driven like a bloody idiot mind ) they nothing special in any way in my opinion.

Not v.fast in a straight line (well a stg3 cossie would happily pull away from one with ease from a rolling start), feel too big and edgey handling, v.grippy but not "chuckable", so not much fun as a road car IMO.

Maybe different on the track (as seem very grippy, but the breakaway isnt smooth), but never seen any win any of the modified car track battles, so maybe not.

S2000s felt better on the road, and im not a huge fan of them either as they quite "all or nothing" in the handling stakes too.

Maybe a good track car (dunno), but as a fast/hard road car i wasnt impressed.

I even drove a automatic import version once too, defy's the point of a NSX surely? lol

A standard car that can run 12's ain't what I'd call slow. Plenty quicker than Imprezas and Evos
