Yes, mainly the new one.

wat

It's RWD

its horribly dated and looks awful

it has a fucking Accord engine

but some BRhue liked it so /o/ does too

>>16127193
desu I think the best part of the car is it looks. There's other jap cars that were on par with nsx on performance in stock form, plus having a bigger aftermarket and are both far more practical to live with. Still one of my favorite cars though, its just plain sexy car.

like what?

Toyoto Paseo

The Fd was just as fast if not faster stock and way cheaper. Also way better looking.

FD, for one

>>16127340
FD and the skyline, the supra and z32 TT were at least just as fast in a straight line

>>16127340
The FD is, R33 GTR is also pretty close.

yes, it is the best 90's japanese car

Conditional approval: generally considered overpriced for what it is.

>>16127584
It's definitely overpriced, it got taken by the collectors market much like the 993

>>16127193

No.

Over priced for what it is.
The engine is the wrong way.
A Corvette does the same shit but faster and cheaper.

>>16127746
And the Vette sounds better.

>>16127561
Why was every Nip automaker capping their advetised HP at 276 again? If your car makes 300+, why wouldn't you be proud of it?

>>16127778
They weren't allowed to make more.

>>16127746
Vette is definitely more affordable to make fast than just about any of its similarly agreed competitors. However, as an automobile in its stock form, the nsx is better looking, and was a better drivers car when new. As such, it's /o/ approved as a driving experience, but generally considered overpriced so not worth owning.

>faster

nope >>16127554

Gentlemens agreement not to advertise anything above 280ps from their cars once they realized that with turbos and fuel injection they could start building things that would end up killing people and getting banned, plus insurance prices.

See the 'supercar scare' in straya back in the 70s when a bunch of pussy news reporters got scared because ford, holden and chrysler were building bathurst cars that they had to sell to the public which were getting hilariously fast.

The japanese manufacturers wanted to avoid something similar.

In reality, almost every '276hp' japanese car from the 90s is making more. The R32 GTR was making 280-290hp in stock low boost trim, there was a small orange/red tab in the boost controller that when removed would allow the engine to hit 1bar and which pushed it up to 330-340hp, there were reports of cars coming back from the first service at the dealers with the tabbed removed if you hadn't already done it.

The MK4 supra was making around 310-320hp at stock boost, the GTO was pretty much the same and the 300ZX was somewhere around 300hp.
The evo were making over 276hp back in the IV, the TME 6.5 was at 330hp with just a tune for europe.

>>16127547
it's actually an Infernus I believe.

>>16127839
Also in fairness to the supercar scare
>that in testing, the first time both he and Colin Bond gave the car full acceleration it broke the windscreen due to the V8's much greater torque.

>>16127839
Thanks anon

>>16127245
Hondas are inherently FWD

>>16127462
God, the FD is clearly the best car in that list. The only thing it isn't first in, it ties for second, and only misses first by a cunt hair.
