    The 458 is in a different league there for racing, but I prefer the sound of the tuned 360.
    But anyway we are not competing on the road and our little Japanese car is fast enough for fun.

    Striaght line performance of the 458 is night and day on track and in this video, even against DK's car. However, as I've said before and as Gumball says, in the real world on Her Majesties black top, the NSX is plenty fast enough.

    Thanx for posting the link ...

    No real surprises there.

    There must be so much technology in the Italia & the Vette did well to stay close, but with over 600 bhp,
    thats no surprise.

    I wonder what a NSX R would be like with another 100 to 200 bhp?

    Plus one FTW!

    Regarding the stock NSX, I would say that is fast enough for the the UK roads...but is that enough for you?

    If the day arrives that I'm out with all sorts of exotica on a PH run and I dont stay in the pack, then I'll think about more power. Until that unlikely day arrives I'm content with my ponies
