RE: Honda NSX: PH Carpool
Discussion
Would love a non-collectable condition manual NA1 NSX, pre-power assisted steering car, in red with a black roof. Such a shame that the newer generation of enthusiasts won't be able to enjoy getting into their 'realistic' dream cars at a lower price point in the market. Increasing interest rates and changing investment portfolios may result in prices being reigned in some what. However I highly doubt we'll see NSX's at the £15-20,000 price point they were being sold for in 2008, even a UK NA1 NSX-R could be had for £45-50,000 back then. Although the cars, in my opinion,were far better than the low price suggested, I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't miffed at missing out! Well done to anyone that got in before prices sky rocketed!

How do they compared to a period Ferrari (355) today?

The C30A engine is 79cm wide, 100cm long (inc RHS ancilliaries and gearbox) and 74cm tall. 99.99% sure that the C32 engine has identical dimensions.
It's a 90-degree V, so would be tricky to squeeze into some other compartments. But I vaguely recall that some crazy yanks have put it up front in other Honda project cars.

Granted - but a lower, lighter, physically smaller longitudinally-mounted engine would surely improve it? I don't understand how a 3-litre V6 can be so much bigger than a 3.5-litre V12! And surely the NSX with only 270bhp (290 with the C32b) is a bit slow to be called a supercar, given that we're now in an era of a 380bhp Cayman?

It's an old car. The Lamborghini Miura is no less a supercar because it's slower than a modern Golf. Mind you, I wouldn't call the NSX a supercar; if I had to think of a modern market equivalent I suppose the 911 GT3 would probably be closest; or maybe the Evora 400.

Its an old car...Cayman is new. But its certainly not slow. The NSX was not about straight line speed. Having said that its side by side with my CSL and thats quick round the ring, again handling is key with the CSL tooRoverP6B said:
More Evora than GT3. No Miura ever had less than 350bhp (P400, 1125kg), the SV 380bhp (1298kg). It's a fair bet that it'd be quicker than an NSX.
What odds are you quoting?http://fastestlaps.com/models/lamborghini-miura-p4...
