Car Choice...

[j3pz]

brother, you asked the wrong site that question. of course everyone will say supra here. dont get me wrong though, those are awesome cars, and anyone would be proud to have any of them.

for the mustang, too popular but big market
nsx, very rare but i dont like anything other than a frountmount motor
so my choise is of course the supra. one of the best motors out there. there is no arguament that the block is very well built. there is a growing market for these retired cars and because they are rare and growing rare, their resale price stays constant. if you got the option to get the tt 6sp model, you better get it before someone else does. you wont be unsatisfied. and if you dont like it, you can sell it to me

Yup that will be the choice 6pd TT Targa Top model I figured if it's what I wanted I could just sell it and get something else. But as far as switchig from american to import, never bothered me, Im not a typical mustang guy. I have respect for anything fast and the potential is endless.

Didn't the Acura NSX only come with an automatic tranny? What a waste. Buy the Supra 6 speed, I'll bet its lots more fun!

To the last poster: Hell no! They came manual as well.

To whoever said NSX's ran 14.7 stock - Dude, you have no idea what you're saying. The stock time is around 14.0. It's a 280HP car, and it's not nearly as heavy as the Supras are (either MK3 or MK4)... yeah, you have to rev it up to get the power, but still, 14.5-14.7 can only mean one thing: VERY SHITTY DRIVERS were at Seattle bro

I once ran a stock NSX with my 300ZX TT, I was at stock boost and drove poorly (missed a shift), and it got me. It ran 13.7 ... I think he had aftermarket air intake and exhaust, but that was it.

Anyways, NSX have their own reasons to be so desired. All that power from a tiny 3 litter engine, normally aspirated.. it's something to admire. Also, it's ability to take corners is just breathtaking... u guys seen the videos where the NSX keeps ahead of the 2 lamborghinis in the 5 lap run? Those japanese videos are the best. NSX would clearly screw those Lambos up in the curves, but then the V12 caught her up in the straight line and in the 5th and final lap beat it, aww ... NSX is not a slow car, specially if you have to turn. But if you wanna drag or street race, yeah, I reckon the V8's will eat it alive.

Supra MKIV TT is awesome stuff. I know stock it's in the 13.6's or so so, but it's not it's stock numbers that impress everyone, and it's not those numbers that have made it grow so popular... It's how easy and simple it is to gain another couple of hundred HPs... Very easy. The engine is very well built, with stock internals you can handle a heckload of HPs... 700 or so? More than I would ever want. And I repeat, this is with stock internals.. just buy big injectors, good intercooler/pipings, big turbo, wide exhaust and a boost controller :P .. if it's ur daily driver, just run it at stock 9psi or so, and you'll have a 13.0 (or so) 1/4 mile daily driver.. but with the push of a button (say, upping to 18psi), you'll be eating vipers :P .. And remember, this is with botn on parts, without opening the engine itself... cool, huh?

I talk too much, heh! ... Go with the MK4, you wont regret it.

To be honest I want a nice fast daily driver. I mean I plan on keeping it twin turbo'd just probably bigger turbo's/piping/intercooler etc. I dont know what it will take in these cars to have a 10 second car I'm guessing 550-600rwhp with a good driver?.

Anyone else?

My suggestion, go to Hondas site and pull up the NSX.



Costs more then(considerably), weighs more than(noticable), produces less power than(dramatically) a Corvette.



You can pull the cars up on Hondas site.


BTW, my info is about a month or two old.


I don't like the NSX platform. They.. don't do anything for me.

NeverFastEnough: When you said you wanted a "fast daily driver", I could've guessed many things, but.... you want a 10 sec daily driver? Lol, that's kinda funny.

Yes, I'm guessing you'll need over 600 hp @ the WHEELS at least, to get there... but I might not know what I'm talking about.

There is a guy in z32power.com with a 300ZX as a daily driver... he can do 11.something, I don't remember how many HP he has, but I think it was over the 600 @ the wheels.. he even made a custom made little fuel tank with race gas (high octane), and with the press of a switch, BOOM, the fuel is drawn from that tank instead of the normal fuel tank. Insane stuff. Wanna know the best part of it? He runs the STOCK wheels! Hah... 16" I think... with semi-slick tyres I think, Nitto or something, don't remember.

Want my honest opinion? Whoever drives a 10 sec car daily, is nutz! =P It takes a lot to reach those 10 secs. And it's just not HP... then you gotta make the car take off nicely from the line, coz you'll wheelspin like a madman. :P
