yeah, hes got over 100 grand in that car. But hes a scammer, He owes me a 10 sec car.

Come on HEAD, you know the NSX guys don't have the aftermarket support the Supra does
I know of 1 turbo NSX in the Nova area but it never seemed to run right. Anymore out there or on this board? I think HEAD would like to see some heads up racing, right???

Re: NSX VS Supra (HEAD)
Some Turbo NSXs:
Performance AutoWorx
Factor X
Cybernation (scroll down to the yellow NSX)
Some SC NSXs:
Basch Boost (BBSC)
Payne Technologies' BBSC
Comptech SC
There's a ton of information on NSX Prime's FI forum, including high boost versions of the BBSC and CTSC. Also, take a look in the NSX Prime FAQ under Performance : Turbo & SC and Media : Magazines.
If you want to know how the NSX compares with a Supra... Well, it's been "discussed" here.

Re: NSX VS Supra (ojas)
*shakes head*
Supra 0wnz j00!
Assuming for a second that this was a serious question, the 3.2 NSX should be faster stock for stock than a Supra. The 3.0 litre variant(pre '97) is not however in either venue.
You can campaign either succesfully in circuit/auto cross events. It should be noted that it is pretty expensive and not adviseable to try drag racing an NSX. It's a waste of the car anyway. Automagic Supra's as well as 6spd's take just as well to drag strips as road courses though.
When it comes to modifying, there really is no comparison. The Supra has just garnered more aftermarket support. As such, there has been very little competition for NSX parts suplliers, therefor, prices remain high for NSX go fast parts.
Overall, it boils down to personal preference and/or budget. Buy what you like and like what you buy. You have to make the payments and you have to look at it every morning.

Precisely.
Personally, I prefer the Supra for its inline 6. There are three kinds of cars I refuse to own in this world: cars with MacPherson strut suspension, cars with automatic transmissions and cars powered by V6 motors.
Both cars could stand to lose a few hundred pounds, however the Supra's porky *** makes the NSX seem light.

Ahem...don't all of the 911 models (993,996, bleh bleh) use MacPherson struts? Who wouldn't want to own one of those? And you better get use to auto trannys 'cuz the SMG type trannys are here to stay.
Why wouldn't you own a V6 car?

Re: NSX VS Supra (Ponyboy)
Yep, they do, and I wouldn't own one even though I'll use them as an example of excellent space efficiency in a sporting automobile.
SMGs are a slightly different animal, but I still prefer to select my gears with a proper shifter. SMGs are a better option for ultimate performance on a track, but IMO not everything is about ultimate performance. Driving pleasure is what I'm after and I still find a great deal of pleasure in a traditional manual gearbox.
I wouldn't own a car with a V6 because from an engineering standpoint it's a lousy configuration. They suffer from both first and second order vibration, end-to-end crankshaft vibration, and every one of them requires the use of a balance shaft to keep from shaking to pieces. In addition, most 60 degree V6s and all 90 degree V6s use staggered journals on the crankshafts in order to put the piston at TDC at the proper time for firing, otherwise the engine would not fire evenly. Staggered cranks are weaker than normal ones. Then there's the four main bearings as opposed to five for I4s and V8s, or seven for I6s.
In short, the V6 is the only common engine configurations that uses almost every engineering band-aid in the box, and I am a snob who wants better than that. For the record, a properly engineered inline or opposed six requires none of that nonsense. They're perfectly balanced to begin with. Thus inline and opposed sixes, given the same displacement, cam specs and combustion chamber design, will always make more power, more smoothly, than a V6.

Great explanation. Though great automotive engineering feats are paved with doing more with less. The 911 with the engine in back is a good example. ITR's with the drive wheels up front is another. Though who doesn't want the best of everything, right?

I've driven both an SMG E46 and an F1 360. The SMG E46 is butter. It is all the versatility of a manual without all the clutch work. As far as the F1 360? I couldn't stop grinning from the lovely engine note long enough to care about anything else. Even turn 1.

Very, very true.
Like I said, I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to these things. The way I see it, if I'm going to spend $50,000 or more on a car I want it to have the best basic configurations for the engine and suspension. To me, that translates to an inline or opposed six and double wishbone suspension at all four corners. In addition, I'd like it to weigh in at 3,000 or fewer lbs. Sadly, the only car currently in production that meets all of those standards is the TVR Tuscan Speed-Six, which is not available here.
I never said I wouldn't own a Porsche. I'd take a 356 coupe in a heartbeat.

I can, I can!
<u>Top Ten Reasons Why I Would Never Own a Porsche</u>:
10. Pedals whose distance from the driver varies by more than the car's wheelbase.
9. Notchy shifter.
8. First gear should be in the same place that you start reading on a page, at the top and to the left. Putting reverse there makes no sense.
7. A standard equipment list, with options such as HID lights and sunroof and most colors of metallic paint, that is inexcusable on a $70K+ car. (Related to number 4 below.) It's quite common for options to add as much as $20K or more to the price of the car.
6. The number of track events where I have seen a Porsche dump oil on the track is at least twice the number of bullet points on this list.
5. Hieroglyphics for labeling on interior controls. Tell me again why there are two different buttons that have a snowflake on them.
4. Options prices that would make even a board trader embarrassed. (Related to number 7 above.)
3. Pedals that hinge from the bottom.
2. Lack of responsiveness in the steering.
1. Looks that could only be loved by a princess looking to turn an amphibian into a prince.
I agree.

Re: NSX VS Supra (nsxtasy)
Porsche puts 1st where it should be, but reverse is farther out to the left. There's usually a lockout, but I agree it's not the best arrangement.
The old Ferrari shifters were an entirely different affair. Reverse was placed where 1st usually is, and 1st is where 2nd usually is. And there was a reason for it. They arranged the gates that way because in racing it is very common to shift between 2nd and 3rd. With this kind of setup there is no dogleg going between 2nd and 3rd. Since it is rare to downshift all the way to first, the placement of 1st gear was not considered as important. It's actually quite a functional design, but the advent of 6-speed transmissions has relegated it to an interesting historical footnote.

The GT3 and GT2? No. Absolutely not. They offer great performance, though.
The GT is not quite as fugly as the other 911 models though... (And, oh yeah, it offers great performance too.)

Re: NSX VS Supra (neonorific20)
Eh, styling is subjective.
I think the 993s looked far better than any of the 996 variants. For some reason the 996s look cheapened to me. I love the looks of the Carrera GT, though. Very clean and simple, which is unusual for a car in its class.

I think the 993s looked far better than any of the 996 variants. For some reason the 996s look cheapened to me. I love the looks of the Carrera GT, though. Very clean and simple, which is unusual for a car in its class. </TD></TR></TABLE>
Absolutely.
I love the look of a 993 Turbo S.
Don't get me wrong, I like the look of a Gemballa GT2 also though.
When it comes to car styling, nothing does it for me like Pinnafarina.
