There is nothing wrong with these cars

1 doesnt look like an old shitty kit car

the other uses a V6 that is better than the V8s the old ones used

those are problems to /o/ apparently

One is a hybrid abomination that does not deserve the name.

The other an actual carefully engineered modern supper car

The Ford gt is great and all but it's very expensive. You can get a Ferrari for less.

>>14806655
Implying the nsx was anything special to begin with
It was overpriced, overweight and got bum hole ravaged by its cheaper competitors

>>14806643
I haven't heard anyone say anything about the GT except butthurt that it isn't a v8.

But it's not a shitty TTV6 either; it's using the best version of their best engine atm. I would kill to see one with the VooDoo V8 in it, though.

>>14806687
I've heard a rumor that the Shelby GT500 is going to be a twin-turbo V8. Which would seem like a sweet Ford GT add-on option at checkout.

>>14806676
all they had to do was update the NSX with a lighter aluminum body, update the V6 modernize the styling, turn the suspension Wile keeping it at an affordable price tag.

They when all retard try hard on it, and no room for after market parts.

And end up with something slower than a v6 Mustang?

>>14806882
So you want another NSX-R?

not really

it would be the Toyobaru of supercars

Aside from the fact that they both should have been named something else.

>>14806655
> that does not deserve the name.

you are a dumb faggot

Are there any 300-400k (what the GT is going to cost) cars that come with a V6?

>>14808015
NSX should have been HSX (Hybrid Sportscar eXperimental)
GT should have been idk ST? RS?

>>14808044
Oh, I just found a source that says 485,000 starting, with 250 being made the first year

The GT is what the NSX should have been.

>>14809285
A homologation special that costs over twice as much?

In both cases the right decision. Why add the weight of extra cylinders when you don't need it?

Wut happened?

>>14809354
NSX weighs around the same as its competitors, and less than a GTR
It also costs less than half as much as the Ford

>>14806643
The NSX, like the GT-R, will be very popular among bench-racers and video gamers, but that does not translate into real-life success.

The NSX will be a commercial failure like the GT-R (despite the GT-R's online fanbase, the GT-R is out-sold by the 911 8:1 and the Corvette 35:1). Japanese badges just don't hold enough prestige (the Mercedes S-Class outsells the Lexus LS by 3:1), and most people with $150K ~ $200K to blow on a car will buy a Porsche, Ferrari, etc.

The GT doesn't need to be a commercial success. It's limited production and collectable. Half of them will be kept in plastic bubbles. The NSX will not be collectable. You can buy a decent original NSX for $25K. Early '90s NSXs have depreciated while more common early-90s Porsche 911s have appreciated in value.

>>14809458
>you can buy an original NSX for $25k
Maybe if it's a salvage title, but they've been steadily going up in price

>>14806655
Yeah because camaro ZL1s will eat it for supper

>>14809458
>tfw no 993 turbo
The og NSX is appreciating too, but it's initial deppriciation was quite big, compared to certain 911s of the era, especially high-end limited production models, which was expected.

>>14806643
They both fell out of the ugly tree but the blue one hit a few more branches on the way down.

one is a carefulyy and artfully crafted super car with heritage and name, raises the bar for super cars and is science based

The other is a dumb nsx based on a meme car from the 90s

GTR probably outruns both of them, costs less, easier to drive fast, and more comfortable and practical for DD.

>>14810222
Yeah but it's ugly as fuck and why would you want a soulless lap-runner in the $150k car market?

Normies won't even know you have a super car.

>>14806643
I used to think the NSX was ugly but its kind of growing on me

>>14806643
If you consider their intended purpose.

As a DD, they'd be awful and impractical.

>>14809526
this is facebook dad-post tier

>>14810222
I doubt the GT-R will outrun the Ferd GT, given the power:weight ratio. The NSX will be no problem for the Nismo however.

>>14806654
>there will be a V6 Corvette in my lifetime thanks to people like this

>>14806882
then you are going to have a weak ultimata gtr

>>14809458
>nsx for 25k

yea okay buddy

>>14809458
And then there's this retard that thinks it's still 2010

Brb gonna buy an air cooled 911 for under $20k

Original NSX
>3000 lbs

This put it below the GT-R, Z32, and Supra, but above the RX-7, Evo, MR2, etc

The current one weighs
>3800 lbs

Which is approximately the same as the GT-R, and way more than the Z34, Evo X, and STI (tfw Supra, RX-7 and MR2 are kill)

So it got fatter, but so did the GT-R. Although the GT-R actually gained less weight since it was fatter to start with.

>>14809305
Well fuck why not an i3 then?

>>14811460
Fairlane, Evo and Sti don't really compete anymore

>>14811597
Fairlady*

>>14806673
Yeah but the GT will be comparable to the Hypers in people's minds, while a price equivalent ferrari will be "another 488"


>>14810233
This is actually true. There's like 3 at my girlfriends college, one being a Nismo, and girls don't bat an eye. My gf thinks it's ugly as fuck and her friends just say "it's just a Nissan, what's the big deal?"

Like my gf is like I get it and that's cool but I'd honestly find a corvette (which she hates) or a GT350 cooler.

>>14810799
comparatively

>>14811694
The NSX is literally designed to be a daily drivable supercar, unlike the GTR which is a lap time machine

I don't get why people hate the new NSX.

Obviously they couldn't make it all angular like the old NSX, new regs make it no longer possible to do that. And it looks fine too, like how a nice, high-end sports car should look.

The Hybrid powertrain isn't there to appeal to hippies, its there to beef up the vehicle's performance, because hybrid supercars are a thing now and McLaren, Ferrari, and Porsche have proven it not only works but its better.

Its made at a plant in Ohio. Yes, its not folded japanese katana steel to shred the touge, but it is high quality (considering its $156,000 price tag), and will be a nice halo car for Acura, sorely needed as the brand has been suffering since the old NSX and RSX disappeared 10 years ago.

"it's not an NSX, it's a pale imitation" well what the fuck is an NSX in your world? Have you not seen any videos of the new NSX's performance, how fucking fast it launches and how it attacks corners?

And then there's the Ford GT, which people hate only because of the V6. They've never heard the V6 engine, they probably haven't seen the GT go around a track. They just look at pictures and numbers, which is why they hate the new NSX too.

>>14811597
>Fairlane, Evo and Sti don't really compete anymore

Evo doesn't compete with anything anymore since it's dead.

>>14812839
The lines on the GT are just incredible when it's moving.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KML1sEtwS74&nohtml5=False

>>14809458
You're right, but the GTR is not an incapable machine.

It's cheap and punches well above it's weight in that regard, it's a very good car.

No-one can argue it's performance.

It's also funny that people will spend money on an italian badged car literally for the badge, when the car half the price will beat it on track and 0-100.

>>14813695
People buying supercars don't give a shit about track day performance

>>14812839
the new NSX is arguably as angular, or even having more sharp edges than the old one. What the new one has that people object to is such high nose, it doesn't appear to be as wedge like. (looks like a cross between a mazda and a mclaren)

Most of the issue people having with the "its too disimlar to the NSX" couldve been avoided by NOT calling it an NSX but as something else.

Its in the same boat as the new fairlady z being an SUV rather than a 2 door coupe. i dont know why they would want to use a name that is well known for something very different.

as for the ford GT: rear tail-lights look like prolapsed anuses, and it looks nowt like a ford GT. Though its a generic enough name i guess they get away with it. Trying to say its some kind of modernization of the GT40 is just stupid though. Call it a new car. dont pretend its something it isnt.

>>14813778
>New Sportcar eXperimental
It seems like an appropriate name to me, people are just idiots

>>14813752
that is the stupidest fucking statement.

there are hundreds of youtube videos of people caring about their supercar's performance.

badgewhores are a minority, but a very stupid one.

>>14813813
They only care about being faster than poor people

How delusional do you have to be that rich people give a damn about lap times they'll never be able to hit?

>>14806643
They're painfully ugly and the honda is a disgrace to the NSX name

>commercial failure like the GT-R
Since when is the GT-R a commercial failure?
Of course the 911 is going to sell more considering they have a billion different trim levels and it starts cheaper than a GT-R.

A base 911 or any Carrera doesn't outperform a GT-R. Same fucking deal with the Corvette. In fact the ZR1 which was the only C6 that was comparable in performance was outsold by the GT-R by quite a bit. Despite how /o/ jerked off to the ZR1 Chebby could barely move them

>/o/ still thinks sales are a good metric of success for a supercar
I forgot how stupid people are here

>>14817570
I was car shopping in march of last year.

Local Nissan dealers had 2015 GTR's listed 5 figures under msrp on autotrader. I get that cars maybe be listed at MSRP and you can talk them down but when it was already in the teens off msrp imagine the out the door price.

here is a bad example

>>14817711
The problem is the R35 is pretty long in the tooth now. They improve it every year but it's gotten minimal. People who really wanted an R35 bought one already and already traded them in for newer models.

There's been two or three new 911s and a new Corvette since the R35 first came out.
