dude that links not much help. Plus it's a Honda - the lowest respected (yet mechanically good) of the car manufacturers. I'll never choose a rice-burner over a Ford, and the driver is always the deciding element - both in matches against cars with uneven and with even properties. Examples: Every single car race in history.

true but I did say give me the nsx-r, I never said it was my cash. No offense but if someone said "here you go, choose, nsx-r or a GTP". I know which one I would be flying away in, and it doesn't weigh ~1800 kilos.

Well in that case, you'd be pretty stoopid if u didn't take the NSX-R
