It's been tested by numerous publications already, when on trick tyres it's was a par with Carrera S at Laguna, when on standard slightly slower than Cayman S (latest one with turbo which appears to be very rapid!) on UK track. Still pretty quick!Originally Posted by Pride
It's about right, Autocar did 3.3 in the dry
A recent and more accurate test review here me thinks:😎

I just don't trust nor believe in the ex TG guys opinions or tests.
IT's ALL JUST FAKE NEWS.

Well thank heavens for that. I was worried that your reasoning (!) might be idiotic and spurious.Simples:

I thought May's test was pretty fair, he seemed to genuinely like it. He's a well known Honda bike fan aswell, he owns an RC30 and CB400.

I have come to the realisation (and it didn't take long!) that all car reviews are flawed, they are personal opinions based on what the driver thinks of that car at that time. Also 0-60 figures are in themselves meaning less, I drove a 1275 Mini that would do 0-60 in under 10 - it was geared so that maximum was 65 - it was a pain to drive. I do not have extensive car knowledge or driver skill, but in the end it is a personal choice. The best and only way is to go drive one. If the new NSX goes the same as the original then in 15 years I might be able to afford one, until then I can only sit and be pleased that others can buy and more over enjoy them as a supreme example of bringing F1 type technology within the reach of those that do not have to live in Monaco to avoid tax!
If the only reason to buy/own a car like this was to have the perfect mode of fast fun transport then there wouldn't be people out there spending £1,000,000 on a replica (sorry Continuation) Jag.
I think James Hunt once said that he had most fun driving an A35 van with skinny tyres, not much power but real fun to throw all over the place, I won't mention the type of car I have had most fun in.
So odd rant over, I would just love the opportunity to drive one ...

Generally, new cars have been homogenised by regulation and convergent evolution, such that there are not really many bad cars any more. And they are all a bit samey.
That's despite my lamenting the surprisingly questionable ergonomics in many of them.
It therefore is much more a question of personal preferences than ever it was.
I'd also like to try an NC1, even if it's probably far too much car for me. I might be wrong...

“I find myself irresistibly attracted to cars that nobody else buys. The NSX is a classic of the genre because nobody buys it and yet it’s a fantastic car. It’s got a wonderful compactness and simplicity and unpretentiousness to it. Honda rudely continues to make them whether we like it or not, even though there can be no commercial logic in doing so — I thoroughly admire that.” Rowan Atkinson
"Clarke son definitely does not like Honda"
And as I suspected out would come the knives at the first chance of a written car review. 😡
