That's true, but when you take the cost of removing the V6 and wedging the LS7 into the thing and toss that into the engine as well, my money is on the V6.

Driver mod won't account for the distance that the NSX put between itself and the Corvette, though it is an important consideration. This was the most advanced solo group running that weekend outside of the sprint races, you don't qualify to drive in it if you don't know how to properly shift through the gears. It can be safely assumed that all drivers within the group are of a somewhat similar skill level, that's why they have groups in the first place.

Several companies sell the kits, they are advertised as 1,000 hp and they include all the supporting mods you would need to do it. There's no reason you wouldn't be able to make 1,000hp on the V6 just like there's no reason to not be able to make it on an LS7.

Yeah that's a totally fair assumption of something I witnessed first hand and you didn't. I'm glad you cleared that up for me, because no one who road races their Z06 has ever added any horsepower to it at all.

I didn't say it was about revs, I was remarking on the limited power band comment, this car did not have a limited power band as far as we could see.

Compared to what? an Accord? The second gen NSX in stock form was as good if not better than almost every other competing super-car while being about half the price and twice as reliable. It is based heavily on the accord drivetrain, and was extremely cheap to service compared to Porsche or Ferrari models with similar specs.

 

I have driven one too and agree you have to be a total tard to do it. Kid was under 18 and it had a temp tag. My bet it was his first car.

Corvettes are hogs, I mean thats gotta be why they just didn't make them one year since the age of real cars. How's that new NSX look?

 

I'm just saying, I'd like to see some. I personally haven't seen any really high horsepower NSXs. That's all.

Well, again, I'm assuming. Especially because the NSX will have to make a lot more power to pull from a Z06 like that. At the end of the day, there is no replacement for displacement. Even stock for stock they don't compare as well as you are stating. That's a proven fact, not something that I "Witnessed". Again, just saying.
And at the end of the day, it's still a $125,000 (Last time I looked, probably less now) Honda. I don't find them exciting, and honestly that's my opinion.

 

Your just insulting everyone with your comments, theres a way to voice your opinion or you can be like fox kid, try and sound mature.


And I think that can be argued, there is ALOT of support of LSx engines... How many cars on the road feature that model engine?

 

A quick google search for 2005 NSX for sale didn't have anything I could find at over $50,000. The MSRP was $80,000, and I don't think you could option it much higher than that.

 

So a car thats better then any car in its class for its time, but cost way less, is dumb or something..? So what if its a Honda? Its not a fucking civic, grow up.

A) Foxhondakid is a fucking retard. He's FAR from Mature.
B) Reading Comprehension fucking owns you.
True, it's been a while since I looked. I wish I was like everyone else on TR and in the market for a brand new NSX or Porsche, or Ferrari!
Hi, who the fuck are you?

I said it's my opinion, you fucking idiot. Do people just get more and more stupid these days? I really fear for the future of this country. 5 bucks says you're the same type of person who defends a honda, yet will say "At the end of the day your SRT4 is still a neon." STFU and GTFO.

 

this car is hardly a NSX at this point, the only thing remaining NSX is the interior, and steering. the suspension is being converted to horizontal double a-arm, the drivetrain layout is longitudinal trans-axle and the engine is now a V8. this is more like a mini saleen S7 thing.

 

Had they done a 2jz swap they could have decimated all
