ok i just saw the video in "kills" with an nsx-r, two lambos, a porche, a ferrari, and an m3 csl. My jaw was dropped to see how fast an nsx actually is. My goal in life now is to get an NSX, my question is, how much different is an NSX-r from a regular nsx, i mean i doubt ill be able to afford the r, i have no idea what it costs but im sure its way out of my price range 60-70k?

Ponyboy

It's lighter. The engine makes more power - I've heard as much as 316hp. Stiffer suspendo. Stickier tires. Championship white. Gansan.

DaZman69

316hp nsx, neck and neck with a 580 hp lambo? That is impressive. Does anybody know a link with a bunch of lap times posted for various super cars? I'd like to see how evo 8's, z06's, etc fair with such super cars. If u gave me a list of those cars on that video, the order i would have picked would be much different. Ferrari? they've been the most dominate race cars since racing has existed, and it gets obliderated. Link anyone?

You could have asked this question in kills you know.

AFAIK, The NSX-R is just plain stupid fast. I reckon it's fast enough and well balanced enough that it could keep up with a single turbo RX-7 on track. Say a 450rwhp variant.

u will also be luck to get one seeing as the States dont have the R's.. but the Nsx over here arent quite as fast... stock run 13.1 around that area... and for 30k (91 or so model) or 70-90k for a new one... i dont say its worth it if your lookin for speed only.. Its a collectors car kinda.. Its all in the person.., but i say hell if you have the money do what u want.. I wouldnt say no to a NSX but i wouldnt spend over 30k for one...

Ponyboy

Nah, he did the right thing. The NSX forum has more panache and less posts.

[cue Jefferson's song]He's moving on up...[/song]

elementforlife

wanna post a link of this video?

FullRaceEH2

go to the kills.. or the NSX videos on this Forums... look a couple posts up... yw

Yes, I think so. But, I heard the NSX-T is even faster because it’s turbocharged.

lol, it was an honest mistake.

DaZman69

so can someone who knows something about an nsx tell me what the differences are?

ojas

Look in the FAQ (see the sticky in this forum) under General Info &gt; Model Information for information on various models offered over the years.

For information on the latest NSX-R, go to http://world.honda.com/NSX/. There you will learn what makes the NSX-R "The ultimate circuit weapon at low speeds or high!"

The Japanese Honda site has information on the current line-up, including the Type S and Type R. Here are some specs, translated with babelfish.

what we have in North america is the Type T.
The NSX-R is also (mostly) carbon fiber... which the others arnt. more HP etc...

in order from the worse to the best:

NSX-T, NSX-S, NSX-S0, NSX-R

Just remember that the Type R is always the best for Honda
and that video u saw, i think i saw it too since i have one that is simmilar... the NSX-R is better in turns than the Lambo, but at the very end, (stright way) the Lambo passess it like it was nothing but it did come in 4th place out of 6, it held 3rd for almost the entire race

1st: F50
2nd: porache GT2
3rd: Lambo Merc
4th: NSX-R
5th&6th were Poraches donnow which tho

Ponyboy

Wrong vid chump. And the NSX came in 3rd and is NOT mostly made up of carbon fiber. The vid is in the "vid" sticky post. After that, go away.

That's it. I'm tired of the trolls and the goofy posts. From here on out, there's going to be a minimum IQ rating to post in this forum.

I'm in indefinite "Grumpy" mode.

DaZman69

ill ask again, does anybody know A LOT about nsx's and can tell me the differences between nsx-r and nsx-s/t. I was reading up on it apparently they went apeshit with the r and tweaked the **** out of every angle. Playing with aerodynamics a lot. If this is true it would probably be impossible to get the normal nsx to feel/handle like an nsx-r. man when honda makes type-r cars they don't play around. most company's just give the car more power and stiffen up the suspension and call it a day.

I obviously don't know **** about nsx's, but one thing i do know is their not made of carbon fiber. Not many cars under 400k are made with carbon fiber from the factory. The mclaren f1 is the only one i know off hand, I think maybe the carerra GT is too.

Didn't you just answer your own question right there? Read up on it some more?

The Mclaren F1 costs alot more than 400k, and the Carrera GT is 400 and some change.

Champ R

The Motegi battle is from the latest Best Motoring International video, and the NSX-R really put up one hell of a fight against the other supercars. It out handled the lambos around the corners and in braking performance, but lacked power on the straights obviously to overtake them. If you want differences between the NSX-R and other NSX models, check out the FAQ section at http://www.nsxprime.com.

Ponyboy

Ojas and ChampR already gave you the info and sources you need. Now go read.

Go ahead ask again.

wow what are you even talking about... so what if it is a different vid? the one I have had the cars i listed and i am just giving my input. mine was the BEST MOTORing one so if anyone else saw it too (the one i am talking about please say so)

and about Carbon Fiber.. i quote this off the site provided (nsxprime)

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by NSXPRIME &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">A major factor in the NSX’s premium handling and performance is the lightweight aluminum body, and for the new model carbon fiber and other ultra lightweight materials have been used wherever possible for even lower weight. In addition, the revised craftsman-built interior further accentuates NSX-R’s sports credentials.

Major equipment: • Carbon fiber hood air outlets • Carbon fiber rear spoiler • Carbon fiber engine compartment cover • MOMO genuine leather-wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel • RECARO carbon fiber Aramid bucket seats • Type R dedicated 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels • 215/40ZR-17 low profile tires (front), 255/40ZR-17 low profile tires (rear)

</TD></TR></TABLE>

as u see most of the major compartments are MOSTLY made from Carbon Fibre which is why i putted Carbon Fibre in parenthesis. if u miss understood sorry for me bad english.

also, I don know who u are and i didnt say antying to insult you. However, without even knowning the facts, you, start insulting me (probably caz i am new here). I joined the forums caz i beleved that i share a common interest with the ppl here and when i was looking at the forums i was surprised to see that there wernt any insulting posts. Yet, now i realise that there are.

You said u were in a Grumpy mood, but ppl should never take their anger out of others...

and next time prove proof when saying other ppl are incorrect.

Ponyboy

I'm going to be extraordinarily nice to you right now.

The Motegi vid is different than the one you mentioned. The reason that that is important is b/c it was the subject of the discussion. You assumed the two were one and the same, they are not.

As you can see, the major components are NOT made out of carbon fiber. Air inlets, hood, and the rear spoiler do not a (mostly) carbon fiber car make. Sorry, the evidence just isn't there. Now, if the NSX were made up of a carbon fiber monocoque, body, and suspension components, then you could correctly make that conclusion.

You're semi-correct there and I'll apologize for being harsh. BUT I do know a little of what I'm writing about and know that the "facts" you mentioned aren't the truth. Share the common interest. That's fine. But please be correct, as much as possible, in your statements. If you can't, I or one of the owners/enthusiasts here will correct you.

I'm grumpy when a certain standard for model knowledge doesn't get met. For that I make no apology. If you don't know, lurk a little, learn, and then post. Or at the very least, ask a question. In the future, it would behoove you to develop a little thicker "internet skin."

DC531

ok ... well i will admit that i probably got the carbon fibre thing wrong, but they do put more of it into the Type R than the rest.

i got this miscomception since a lot of the sites i visited make it seem like most of it was made from it.. i will say sorry for that..
