see my comment again about the badge.

Frankly, i think the lines in the sand are drawn on this one. some people want it, others arent going to even look at it because they have the money not to.

and most of those other cars are because badge, something Honda doesn't have in the game here either.

sure there is, its called money. Honda still has to churn a profit, and have already confirmed the car is more metal than CF.

so sayeth the "salesman"

I mean, for $150k...you can't ask much better. Sure a Z06 might be faster, but it's faster than almost everything.

which is due for a cycle update soon with more power, the car Acura SHOULD have been benching against.

doubt anyone is going to be nuts enough to hand me keys to a Z06, a Viper, much less anything European at this stage.

fancy gizmos can only make up so much ground. the once mighty GTR now gets its ass handed to it by a Camaro going through the corners because the Chevy, almost unbelievably, its the more performance oriented car. GTR takes the straights, but it has a healthy HP advantage and thus, should.

the NSX on the other hand, is

the standard 918 is 3700 lbs, that special package im not even going to attempt t spell is closer to 3600.

so take 3700, factor in the NSX making less use of super lightweight materials, 3 electric motors instead of two, and a plushier looking interior, and 300 lbs isn't that much of a stretch.

i would, its being bench marked against cars that are a year or two away from their successors. 550 horse in a car that's going to weight near 2 tons? not what id call competitive in today's market.

especially considering the lineup its trying to play in. its supersaturated with some of the best cars ever built, with

as claimed by Acura, saying it is and actually being so are two very different things.

id also like to point out they are benchmarking a car from 2009.....

i dont, i think its over engineering and extra complication the car doesn't need, but to each their own.

and if im not mistaken, the 918 is the slower of the three. im not saying its a slouch, but if anything that validates my point about lightness.

simple request really, GET RID OF ALL THE DAMN SIMILAR RACE CARS!!!!!


i dont know if this was an issue in 5, but 4 had way too damn many cars offered as individuals, that were nothing more than different racing liveries. offer those same cars, but change the livery to a paint option to cram other DIFFERENT cars in

i cant say about 5, but 4 had too many damn race car clones. unless the cars were actually different, the should have been one car with different liveries as paint options.

needed fewer racing 911's, more 356

whats the terminator cobra?

So was just thinking about this, and realized there might be one more surprise this car might drag to the surface, a competing Chrysler product.

the first shots of the C8, Zora, ZR-1 (whatever the hell you want to call it) are already out, pointing to a competitor coming from Chevy. but where does that leave Chrysler.

didnt even know there was an automatic Abarth, i find that disappointing.

i dont think any of use were certain till today.
