I've seen plenty of races, both amateur and professional, and it seems to me that everyone damages their car at one time or another. There's always a "reason", and some people are plenty eager to blame factors allegedly beyond their control, but every race there's a crash sometimes serious...

There is no such thing as a price ceiling for a brand, if the intrinsic attributes of the product (eg., performance, features, quality) support it. A high-end brand can offer a high-end product at a premium, but a low-end brand can always offer a high-end product at a discount and it will sell...

You can't compare the NSX replacement to the Phaeton. The Phaeton was a dud, did poorly in most reviews, crazy heavy and VW unreliable, why would anyone buy it regardless of who was making it? If the NSX replacement has a reliable mid-mounted detuned F1 engine, people will be all over it at $125k.

A child under 10 does not belong in the front seat of any car with airbags.

Jamin Cummings and Dale Seeley won the compact class in 2003 One Lap of America in a used 1997 Saturn SC2 with nitrous and fantastic brakes. The brakes allowed them to out-brake their competitors in the corners, and the nitrous helped them keep up on the straights. So it would seem that...

For any of you that have driven an NSX-R, how realistic is the NSX-R model in Project Gotham Racing 2? Do you feel that PGR2 does justice to the NSX-R?

Re: Re: BMI NSX-R vs. Murcielago I'm wearing glasses, but they're not tinted. Maybe you are color blind? As I said above, I appreciate your original post and your translation of the announcer's comments on the Lambo. But if you re-read my post you will see that I based my opinion on the...

Many thanks for posting your review, Mako. Personally I like the "Togue challenge", which is a legitimate wheel-to-wheel race that has nothing to do with drifting. Two cars race on a narrow unmaintained road with no passing allowed (or even possible). If the two cars are farther apart at...

BMI NSX-R vs. Murcielago In the episode with the NSX-R and the Murci, the Murci would loose ground in the turns and make it up on the straightaway. And it's not fair to say that the NSX-R was driven hard but the Murci was not. Both were driven hard, and the Murci was very unstable. After...

What happened? Did anyone look at the NSX for sale by Feretti Motors? What was their diagnosis? And BTW, has anyone had any positive or negative experiences with Feretti?

I'm more interested in value than price. While I gladly would drop $80k on the DN-X, I'm very unlikely to drop $77k on the E55 AMG. And I agree, the TSX looks like an outstanding value at $27k.

The Acura DN-X is exactly what I'm looking for: a 400hp 42 mpg AWD 6MT 4 door sports sedan made by Honda...

I do! Just with a shorter wheelbase so I can get out of my driveway.

I love the reliability, visibility, handling, balance, and responsiveness of the NSX but I need two more seats for family and customers. Power is a secondary concern to handling. It'll be used daily for local errands and frequent long distance highway drives. What reliable four door sedan...

Yesterday I took a 1991 NSX on a test drive. When I hit roughly 80mph on the highway, the front end started floating from side-to-side so I lost all confidence in the handling of the car and immediately returned it to its owner. Is this a tire problem or a more serious suspension problem?
