Re: THE NSX rear end is ugly IMHO
They still they have more side bolstering than the ZR1's front seats. Funny you should attack the GTR on the seats topic, seeing as how the corvette has the worst seats in the entire industry. Might as well have just said your full of it instead of posting this. Posted by a corvette owner "1. Seats completely blow! Leather quality stinks; the whole seat back twists and contorts w/any minimal body movement/motion, and the lumbar support is non-existent! GM, are you listening???"
Based on your very disappointing posts, i dont really understand why you have an NSX. You dont seem to appreciate exclusivity, technology (GTR/NSX) and prefer instead, racing people in a straight line/ seeing how much HP and cylinders you have. Your 90's Honda has better interior (nappa leather vs whatever the vette has), higher quality panels (aluminum vs plastic), and more advanced suspension (all aluminum double wishbone independent vs leafsprings) than the more expensive 2010 ZR1.

GTO seats > NSX> GTR> Vettes: None-bonded leather
NSX > GTO, GTR, Vette in build quality and resell value

^Hmm guess you never had a chance to try a type-s or a type-r NSX seats :tongue:
Regarding seats the stock Usdm NSX seats, the usdm gtr seats are better than the NSX seats. If they offered the CF Spec-v/clubsport gt-r seats they would be even better.

LOL!!!!
After seeing this HORRIBLE looking wing and riced out NSX It ALL makes sense now. I have been a member of the NSX community since 1994 and have seen the ownership's maturity lose its quality
I can't believe I even wasted my time with you! HAH!
I would be ashamed of you if I were the other NSX owners on this board. You are the type of person that ruins cars resale values and lets people on the street know the NSX has finally fallen from it's once high ranks way down to ricer status.
I'm embarrassed to even be posting on this thread now.
Way to ruin one of my favorite cars.

U do realize what make and model spoiler that is.
It's a bolt on and off factory location. 100% reversible.
And yes Docjohn is smarter than u.
GTR are still hideous.

No surprise here that a GTR is a fugly car that only a mother will love.
Of course the argument of saying it's fugly and one can't afford one just won't fly with the Porsche folks.

Something to be said for sewing silk from a sows ear. Any pedigree the Skyline had (overseas) has been made a joke by this Americanized monstrosity.

Some shots of my GT-R. It runs 10.92 @ 127 with only a flash tune. Everything else is stock.
The Black GT-R (sleepdoc's) runs 10.01 @ 138mph with only a tune, full exhaust and E85. He also kills everything on the road course.

Not a valid comparison since the only thing that looks similar are tail lights, plus that Cobalt is modded to the gills with a wide body kit, and the front looks nothing a like. Almost any coupe with 4 circular tail lights will look similar except the GTR has been using the "afterburner" style tailights for decades.
Re: THE NSX rear end is ugly IMHO
I don't need to read any design data or study any wind tunnel videos to say that the physical appearance of the car does not appeal to me. Like I mentioned earlier I'm sure that the Nissan engineers considered function to take precedence over form which is a sacrifice that they chose to make. That is fine by me.
I have a colleague who drives a Saab. I don't like how Saabs look so I will never buy one. Who knows, they could be the most fabulous cars on the planet but they just don't appeal to me. I still congratulated my colleague for buying their new car though.
Precisely.

This is what happens when a "young, sleek car guy (NSX) turns into a fat, who cares about looks, motor head!!!(UH GTR)"
:biggrin::biggrin: it's fast like an 1970 AMC Gremlin was fast :biggrin::biggrin:
FAST and UGLY
Devils Advocate (for fun):
Form follows function.
"Looks" are subjective.
A stock GTR will beat probably every NSX in the country on a racetrack except for maybe 20 cars (maybe slightly more but i'm going to say 20).

you have to admit, looking at the picture from quack that the gtr looks like a dork among the nsx's
billy, i like a fast car as much as anyone, but i still have to look at it when it's in my garage, and to me the front end of that gtr is a deal breaker. I could not bear to look at it every time i go in the garage, i don't care how fast it is.

I wouldnt say that the GT-R is ugly.... But it's certainly not a pretty car. Nor does it have the svelte curvaceous elegance of the NSX.
It looks more like the skyline than nissan's other car line up.

Amusing thread to say the least...
I don't agree, if you put the R34 and the R35 side by side, you can clearly see the evolution of the two cars. I would say the Cobalt is the one that bit off the GTR's trademark look, not the other way around since the R34 has been around since 1999.

Lemme clarify.
It looks more like a skyline than any of the current Nissan line up.
the current GTR and Cobalt have some edges that are too chiseled.
And both have high asses.
I like the currnt GT-R in the sense that it is a unique car now than its predecessor which was based on a family car. In my place every boy racer modded their skyline and claim it is a GT-R. Now they won't be able to do that. Performance wise is also staggering that is unless the new NSX is ever to come out from Japan with a much bigger engine hopefully. LFA is an ugly car and does not justify the price for me. I'll take a GT-R anyday but still keep the NSX. For me a GT-R is like Yokozuna, big, not that good looking but strong and skillful. NSX is like a ninja, not strong but nicely shape and skillful enough to defeat opponents in a tight space. Reminds me of ninja warrior tv show. :biggrin:
so on a tangent here, a colleague bought a used hennessey gtr700. I looked online and i guess it has new turbos and intercoolers, plus a tune. No transmission work. Is there likely to be a transmission problem? Thats a lot of power, but then again, the NSX transmission seems to take 500 rwhp just fine for quite a while... and the ford GT transmission holds 850rwhp no problem.. and the supra holds 600 no problem..
MKIV Getrag tranny is known to take almost double the HP that u just posted.
It's a hand assembled German tranny.
