    Default Porsche Owner admits NSX is quicker

    Interesting thread in progress here; A collector of garage queen 930/964 turbos says his NSX is quicker than both his Porsches...

    Wonder if it is the same Rocco that posts on here?

    Almost certainly the same chap.

    And I'd take that with a small pinch of salt - they're probably very close, real-world, but no more than that - I had a brief drive with an E46 M3 cabrio along a couple of dual-carriageways, and it all depended on who got the quicker foot on the throttle. That's got ~60bhp more but ~250kg more too (still higher bhp/tonne).

    964t will be similar weight and frontal-area to the NSX, and has optimal weight-distribution. And a thicker mid-range.

    Blue '08 FD2 CTR - big, ITR-sized shoes to fill...
    Yellow '96 NSX 3.0 - oh was it worth the wait!
    Black '99 ITR - well, I had to have another one, the first was so much fun. Miss this one even more than #1...
    Blue '03 S2000 - SOLD, flawed but fun
    Blue '04 Focus TDCi Sport - SOLD, very good fun for a diesel!
    Black '00 ITR - SOLD, still missed
    Red '98 Civic VTi - SOLD, probably still bombproof

    Yours is a 3.0 and Rocco is a 3.2 big difference in stock form.

    A 3.2 is slower than a E46 M3 hard top

    I can tell you that a 1210KG 1993 NA1 I/H/E is Faster than an E46M3.

    Sudesh, interesting that its quicker than a 996 since whenever I've read car comparisons in past, the 996 is always quicker? Think 0-60 is 4.6 ?

    I was talking about standard cars, not those with >320bhp
