  OK, I have been reading these entries for over a year now, and finally decided to throw in my own 2 cents. OK, first of all, lets get things straight, you cannot compare the NSX to a Vette, Viper, Supra, or 911, because it is simply in a class of its own. OK, I am an American, so therefore, I should represent, and go for the American made car, but I just cant see how anyone would want something that leaks oil, is inefficient, and for some reason, I dont understand why American made cars wheel bases are so short in comparison to the overall length of the car. But, I do think there are a few exceptions, like the Ford Focus rally Edition, hehe, and (some might think Im wrong) but the Viper, Im sorry to say is a piece of crap, and Im ashamed to live in the same country that it came from. The C-5 Corvette is about a million times refined and practical than the 8 litre beast. Speaking of which, the S2000 gets 240hp outta a 2 litre 4 banger, while the viper struggles to put out 450 with a...

  Another comment I forgot to add earleir... I dont like the title of this page (A Ferrari, but engineered by people who went to college) You gotta be kidding me, A Ferrari is the most precision car in the world, well, after the 80's, and the NSX is a far cry from anything the Modena 360 can do. What the hell is up with Derek Lai, does he honestly believe that the Trans Am can attend the same school as the NSX..? C'mon now buddy, where did you grow up, Tennessee..?

• January 18, 2000, on Acura NSX Review:

  Whats the dealio..? Allright Derek, I shouldnt a' said that stuff about you bein from Tennessee, thats almost as bad as callin you a Jew. But, when I think about it, I probably would take 3 Trans Ams over 1 NSX, I mean, that is just a much better deal cause allthough it is an incredible ugly car, it isnt that bad that I wouldnt drive 3 of 'em... Yeah, so anyway, sorry for takin up space thats not about the car of subject... Peace

  The Corvette copied the RX-7..? They do look the same from the side, I dunno, they probably did copy it, whatever they did, it looks great!

  Hey John, Im sorry you're so sensitive to these things, it was just a joke, I didnt know you were gonna shit a brick over it, maybe you should grow up and not take things so seriously, and another thing, I made an inteligent comment about the car of subject, and I really dont think you know what youre talking about, and you dont need to try to impress the rest of us by using big words, because your speech is way out of context, you dirty Jew. Sorry if I offended anyone other than John Smith...

  OK, nigga niglet, or whatever, raw horsepower is only one aspect of a car, and doesnt mean it is better than anything else. A 69 Camero ZL-1 is a piece of shit and is ONLY fast in a straight line. If you want raw horsepower in a car, I suggest you go for a Viper, atleast they can break from 60 mph in less than a mile.

• February 16, 2000, on Acura NSX Review:

  so, you've driven a McLaren F-1..? How much money did you have to put into Ameritech's bank before they would let you touch it..? And after driving it you still think your Camry is faster..? Did they not let you shift out of neutral or something..? I doubt the MC F-1 is even capable of driving as slow as your toyota. I'm sorry to break it to you like this, I hope you aren't devistated for life but you haven't driven a McLaren F-1 and I seriously doubt that you've driven an NSX. Don't make up stuff so that people will think more highly of you.

  OK, OK, the whole thing about Jews was just a shameless joke, I didnt mean to offend anyone, and I am sorry if I did. I love the comment about the 4WD NSX...The current NSX is the perfect sports car, and the only thing they could do to make it better, is to learn from Subaru and Porsche. If it did have 4WD, it would be so unstopable, as if it isnt allready. This is a great idea and Im so glad that there are other people out there, besides me, that recognize the Subaru SVX as being an incredible machine.

  To the above comment: I think that you have a very good point about the NSX. It is probably the best "all around" sports cars. The Viper does beat it in most tests, except for the ones that really matter. People say that the NSX is the best handling car in the world. This is simply not true. The mid-engine layout and rear wheel drive does not serve it very well. Everybody knows that front wheel drive cars handly better, but do not accelerate as fast. Trans Am..? I dont think so. It seems as though it is a tradition for Americans to build cars with huge, low tech engines, that are loud, harsh, and crude. The C-5 Corvette gives you all the raw horsepower, and loudness of a muscle car, while still being very high tech and not being so harsh like the Trans Am. Damn, the Trans Am is an ugly car. It handles like a bull dozer, and takes corners like an oil tanker. And to the Viper lovers out there... It does give you a LOT of bang for your buck, but an NSX will give you about 90%...

  I dont understand this...what is SOOOO bad about V-8's..? Is it the amount of cylinders it has..? Im sorry that not all engines are single litre 4 bangers, or TURBO CHARGED sixes. Not everyone on this planet wants to deal with the problems that go with a turbo, or the turbo lag, that isn't found on a normally asperated engine. I think Honda's engines are great, but I dont see why everyone in here hates "big heavy V-8s" as some of you call them. Did it escape your minds that the Ferrari F-355, 360 Modena, Lotus Esprit, Lexus GS-400, Jaguar XJR, to name a few, all have "big heavy V-8s..?" I was wondering, has anyone seen the new Mustang Cobra R..? It handles better, accelerates better, brakes better, pulls more G's on the skidpad, and outruns the NSX in top speed, all for about 2/3s of the price. Hmmmm, maybe "big heavy V-8" powered cars arent that bad, if theyre blowing the doors off of an aluminum Honda that doesnt have enough low end torque to burn the tires. Oh yeah, and to t...
