    ScienceofSpeed Dyno Tests 2017 NSX

    I do remember reading a few times that Hybrid advertised power can vary on how you extrapolate the numbers. In Honda's case they mentioned that they consider the fair and honest way is to show a number where they reach the most hp in total along the rpm band.. Other manufacturers might take the...

    first comparison lap times of the NSX versus its rivals - UK Top Gear

    Ferrari lap times should always be taken with a grain of salt, unlike Porsche or others Ferrari only allow timed laps if they can bring their mechanics to tune the car perfectly for whichever track it's being tested on. Chris Harris had written about this and Ferrari basically blacklisted him...

    Wanted - 1999 Zanardi edition

    Been a few years since I had my last NSX and am looking at getting back into one again. Enjoying the Lotus and new 08 Sti but everytime I see an NSX I keep thinking I need to have one again. If you have a Zanardi or know of one for sale (or potential sale), please let me know. Ivan 604-764-8269...

    "Bush Doesn't Like Black People..."

    wow! when I first opened up this thread I thought that the link was going to be to a SNL performance but after watching it I sure wasn't laughing. Kanye seemed to have a hard time being articulate and was obviously talking from pain and emotion. Living here in Vancouver Canada I have grown up...

    Major update in 2005

    Actually although I would think it would be unlikely that Honda would do this it should not be so easily discounted. If you think about it the rationality is just like GM does with the Corvette, or did that is. They would introduce the new generation small block one model year prior to a cars...

    HSX is not the next NSX

    The way I see it the HSC must be some sort of way of testing the waters to see what they can come up with, judge public reaction, etc... Financially it makes the most sense as it requires the least investment, after all if you look at the car it appears to use much of the current NSX, look at...

    HSX is not the next NSX

    Here is what I took from topgear, didn't notice if anyone posted it but the story makes sense to me..... Meet the Honda Sports Concept, which in size, performance, layout and appearance would make a convincing...

    corvette C6 info

    was looking around to see what's coming from other manufacturers and stumbled on to some post at www.corvetteforum.com (see gm-news.com). Interesting info on the new C6 ( "rumours" ). There is talk about the car being 200-400 lbs lighter, which I've read from many different sources, but what...

    S2000R info (interesting)

    wow, was reading on the S2000 board, this guy caused a bit of a stir......think he mentioned 30,000+ hits on his story already, including a bunch from FOMOCO. It was a good read and unlike somebody else here I don't think he's a "goof" for it. It would be a nice car though, and until I new it...

    S2000R info (interesting)
