Oh.

What do these cars have, like a 50 gallon tank of something?

And that's based on the "new" EPA numbers. High 20s/low 30s aren't unheard of.

I'm pretty sure that's why it is the great automobile that is world reknowned. Not because of it's "style" or "uniqueness". It's a long-life, affordable (used) supercar made by a manufacturer that was currently producing econo boxes at the time it was made. And as a supercar it preformed aginst other supercars and did an amazing job.

I don't appreciate the NSX for it's looks or how rare it is. It was built to do something better than other cars and it did just that.That's why I would buy one. I can't wait for Honda to step out with the next modern class leader.
early in the thread there was a lot of performance bashing and to be honest... its a supercar, but its not a ferrari... the car is sweet no matter how you stack it, but in the category that it belongs some might say it doesnt compete. my argument was that there are other things to consider...

Of course it's not a Ferrari. It smashed every Ferrari except one at the time and did it with the ease of use and reliability of an Accord.

The NSX forced Ferrari to take a step back and look at how they built cars. Now Ferrari builds better cars.

That's the point I was trying to make. Thanks Dave.


You have to compare it to the cars it was going up aginst when it was introduced. That's why it deserves so much respect. Most of these guys on this site compare it to new cars like the Z06 or whatever.

But it was sold against more modern cars since then and doesn't compete. It deserves respect but it has become outdated.

So has an F40. So has a 250 GTO. So has a 300 SL. So has an E type... Do I need to go on?


Any car that was designed and built that long ago will eventually become outdated. That takes NOTHING away from the fact that they are some of the most amazing cars of all time.

The NSX is one of the worlds most incredible cars... period.
