Allright lately I been having some serious second thoughts about either selling my stunning 1996 green colbalt Z32 and buying a Honda NSX; see I saw this Honda parked in Alicante this summer and it looked beautiful now the doubts I have is...there isn´t much NSX...and also comparing the prices between Z32´s and NSX..there´s a way huge difference...but the HP is not that wide between them..why is this?? would like some experts to brifly state wich would be the good and bad about staying with my Z? or buying a NSX??

 

wich car is better? that is..mechanically..HP..ride..etc..

need help ere mateys:confused::(

'Hate'?

Senna did indeed help develop the car and as he was (and is) my hero, I have a soft spot for the NSX.

 

Much as I love the Z32, the NSX is a far better car as it really is engineered to perfection. In fact, the main criticism was that it was TOO good, the same issue being unfairly thrown at the GT-R.

 

The only thing it lacks is 2 seats in the back (which is why I could never have one) and outright character and personality, which the Z has in abundance.

 

Mind you, the sound of the NSX engine is so addictive...

 

If you can afford one, get one as they are so rare, and that engine...

On a separate but related question, is there any way to make a Z engine scream like a Ferrari or NSX engine? In other words, is there a clever exhaust system/device that allow that type of sound to be emitted?

 

Sorry for the layman nature of the question, but something I've mean meaning to ask!

'Hate'?

 

HATE I never have liked them from day one

What's so bad about them? In tests they were always considered a better car than the Z32.

There is nothing so bad about them they are Japanese so I am sure they are a very good car but I just cant stand them.

If they were the same price, I would have a hard time choosing between them. I think they can look fantastic and I love the mid-engine NA setup.

 

But there is the tunablity factor to consider and suprisingly I find they dont have as much road presence as the Z. A couple of times I have been following them on the road, and they don't stand out much more than a Honda prelude. You'd have to get one in Unique/lairy colour to get noticed.

 

But....considering they do cost so much more, I'd rather have a Z.

i would have a z32 over a nsx anyday. even at the same price...

 

 

that is terrible, looks SOooo dated. i do like them but the rear lets it down and TBH i think its starting to look it age and not quick enough for me should have had a turbo/super charger from factory

I do really like the NSX ,and if money was not an issue would 100% have one in my garage, but as regards a daily driver it would be the Z32

there are many super charged NSX about in Japan and the USA around 400bhp mark. They cannot handle much more that though. Saying that 400 bhp and carbon body mods = Quick car.

 

I love the NSX

Absolutely NOTHING wrong with it at all!

 

 

Epic cars!

NSX is a no brainer over a zed, they do a newer shape NSX, thats not dated.

300zx any day, look at that horrible rear end

NSX every time. There is a great u tube of senna testing it. Check out those loafers!!!.

i prefer the older shape with pop up headlights...

NSX for me i'm afraid, there is one near me (and Stella - Surprisingly in JARROW :O lol) and it is an absolute stunner in long beach blue, I have always been a fan and I believe honda make the fastest N/a's in the world anyways, and this should technically be more than 300bhp, if the DC2 ITR 96 bhp output and CTR ek9 are anything to go by, but I think it was to do with the japanese gentlemans agreement on power anyways so they just limited it to around the 280bhp/300bhp mark.. but regardless, it is the top dog in my opinion...

1. NSX

2. Z32

3. SUPRA RZ

4. GTO

5. RX7

That's how I see it.

How on earth can you put the GTO and Supra above the RX7? Foolish bean... Even the Z32 would be pushing it to be above the RX7... But as for the NSX, they're gorgeous. Old Skool Kool with an engine to match. 3.2lr Vtec. :D I used to love my little 1.6i-VT and it used to go like a rocket. Could only hope to have the legendary V6 version!

NSX FTW!! Can't say anything bad about it except the price, love it!

Lol, the Rx7.. with it's constant engine rebuilds, cramped interior, lack of extras and tacky appearance when put up against the other 4 easily comes in at 5th in my opinion, The Supra engine 2JZ-GTE flagship engine is arguably one of the best motors ever produced, but the cars jellybean appearance is what knocks it beneath the Z32, but the GTO, is just a beast with loads of electronical gadgetry and mitsubishis craziness is what puts it ahead of the Rx... The only reason I compared it anyways, was due to the fact these are the 3.0litre boyos from japan from the early 90's albeit the Rx engine is a little odd.. it's still a competitor.
