We are all entitled to our own opinions, and ive said all that I care too on this topic. After all, I don't see the NSX being around for much longer (at least anywhere near its current state), as its sales are crap and its competition overwhelming.
3/10
I like the NSX in stock form, #1 favorite car. The only time it ever loses in a race is in the straight-aways (medium to long straights)

They only make a couple thousand of NSX's. They are handbuilt. That's why they're limited. These cars were never meant to be for the masses.
If you really wanna see just how crappy the NSX is and how great your M3 is, just watch the video linked by apex. (NSX-R vs Murcielago vs Gallardo vs 360 Modena vs M3 CSL vs 911 Turbo)
And as isekii said, it's handbuilt, not mass produced like your beefed-up 3-series. And unlike cars like your M3 (3-series), S4 (A4), the ITR (Integra), Evo (Lancer), etc, the NSX is just that. The NSX. Not a souped up lower end model.
Part of that is, of course, the track. A (mostly) tight track like that will show the advantage of a vehicle like the NSX-R, but it's still reasonably impressive.
It's really too bad honda didn't bring the better models over here to the states and/or spend more time upgrading it over the years. I wouldn't have minded seeing how the 2nd or 3rd generation of NSX's would have gone.
As is, the Japanese models seem to be aging rather gracefully. Too bad honda has let it come to that though.
I have a fix up NSX. But I only paid $10000 for everything. I build it from scratch. Using a 3.5L Acura RL engine block mated to 3.2L VTEC heads from an NSX. The block is overbored and now it is a 4.0L ..
Well anyways.. I only considered NSX comparable closely to a Ferrari F355. Because both are pretty much price the same. Ferrari F355 are sometimes cost a little higher than the NSX. But there is one exception is that the F355 has the V8 engine with it's 300hp while the NSX has its V6 engine putting out 290hp.
Both of these cars have pratically the same body style for a decade. Newer years has a facelift but only in certain areas.
Even though it's a Honda. A NSX will still get the stared just like if you were in a Ferrari.

Here's a link to show various cars racing with each other. Including the wonderful M3.
lambos vs. ferrari vs. porsche turbo vs. nsx vs. m3 csl

Wait... you build cars just to go straight, nevermind the twists and turns of the road. They're just there for decoration, who cares how a car performs on the track. :roll:
I didn't say I build car to go straight. My previous car was heavily modded with suspension, lightening the car, and semi on engine upgrades.
