Everything isnt black and white you say? Well I call your bluff and say (based on only facts of course)

The Black z06 has a bigger pen0s than the White NSX.

Damn its late...i would never use that kind of analogy too.

Everything is not black and white. Things are black and white when we're talking about which car is faster in the ¼ mile or something of that nature. Some things are intangible and can not be put on paper as a number.

BTW, shouldn't the NSX be yellow?

Yellow is faster. So no, the slow NSX is definatly not yellow.

Your Z06 specs are a hair off... the GM published specs are 4.0 0-60 and 12.4 @ 115 I think in the 1/4. Bone stock cars have hit 11's with the right driver on street tires.

The NSX owns almost all in factory interior setup... the seats are amazing yet comfortable, the steeringwheel/shifter relation is supurb and it has that real cockpit feel. The C5 has a great dash layout (allbeit with cheaper materioals) and a great wheel/shifter relation, but the steering wheel is too big and the seats plain suck donkey balls. Yes those two things can be changed but at a large expense.

Too big in diameter with a tin rim/hoop. Same can be said for Camaros/Firebirds.

ok ok I like the nsx too but i also like the Lotus Esprit mid-engine twin turbo v-8
with very close cost with the nsx and performance. more to the pot



this was taken from another website and is not mine:

"The Esprit's most common rivals are the Acura NSX and the 8-cylinder (3xx series) Ferraris. The NSX is a hand built exotic whose excellent reputation for performance is exceeded only by its reliability. The problem with the NSX is that it is often accused of lacking a soul. That reputation was partially earned by having Honda build a supercar that "even your grandmother" can drive. Many believe that a sportscar should demand much from its driver. If you don't have to work it, then it's not worth it. Ironically, companies like Ferrari and Porsche have recently been accused of "going soft" by building cars that are now more user-friendly like the NSX. Suffice it say that many Esprit owners used to own NSXs."

just a small bit of the reading from http://www.espritfactfile.com/indexs.html

I love those cars. I'd really like to see where the above fact comes from though. Seems pretty pretentious. The Esprit was released about 15 years prior to the NSX, IIRC.

The V8tt Esprit still on your list James?
