Comments by "Strictly Come Driving" (@VirusTornado) on "Honda NSX vs Porsche 911 Turbo vs Audi R8 V10 supercar track battle" video.

  1. You can seriously fuck off with that argument. The original NSX was a first effort, yet it was absolutely brilliant. Honda hasn't stopped racing since the original NSX, they've always been involved in motorsport. The matter of the fact is... the new NSX is a disappointment.

  2. Yes but MotorTrend tested the car on Trofeo R tires (which are literally barely legal), and there wasn't much of a difference i.e. it was still shit. Around Laguna Seca it was only 0.01 seconds quicker than a base Porsche 911 Carrera S (420hp). That's disappointing.

  5. NSX is sshit.
    7
  6. NSX doesn't dust an AMG GT. Heck, a base Carrera S is only 0.01 slower around Laguna Seca than an NSX. That car has 420hp, NSX has 570hp. Literally costs half as much. And it's a Porsche, not a Honda.
    7
  7. This is a 43 second lap. 0.4 second difference is the equivalent of around 1% of the lap. Therefore, around a longer lap (for example Laguna Seca), that would be at least 1 second difference. That's significant. You should also consider the fact that the NSX is a hybrid, and will run out of battery if you drive it a few more laps.

  8. eyesrightout They're definitely not minor flaws. The interior looks like shit. This car costs 200k. Have you seen the competition? This car is not better than any of these cars in any way. It's heavy, doesn't drive great, has a shit interior, isn't as fast as the Porsche or Audi or McLaren in a straight line, yet it's more expensive. Fuck logic right?

  9. Vince Switzer How's it on par with the greats? It's literally slower than all of them.

  10. S Saini Brake regen definitely isn't enough to charge your battery when you're going all out. Also, MotorTrend tested the car around Laguna Seca, it was slower than every single car in it's class, and some cars like the AMG GTS (which costs half as much) was a whole second quicker. Around Top Gear Test track, AMG GTS was quicker once again. Around this track, Audi and Porsche were quicker. On most tracks it's slower.

  11. Ponygt 662 compared to Americans? The new NSX, unfortunately, was designed and developed by Acura USA, and now it's built in the US as well. So it's just Americans fucking up a legendary car.

  12. Seriously. On the other hand it's co-developed with BMW

  13. ***** One car means one model. Anyway, Chevy always had an issue with their superchargers. Second-gen CTS-V, Camaro ZL1, C7 Z06. You'd think they'd get it right the 3rd time, but nah they're cheap.

  14. ourworlds atwar It didn't dust anything. Aventador is 1.5 seconds faster around Laguna Seca, and it's 1 whole second quicker to 60 and over the quarter mile. AMG GTS is over a second faster around Laguna Seca. And it literally costs half as much, yet looks better sounds better has a nicer interior drives better etc. The R35 GTR was actually 1 second quicker around Laguna Seca back in 2015 (the 2016 model has softer springs because they wanted to make it more comfortable and keep the NISMO as the track car). So in that sense, it didn't beat anything. Look at the competition: McLaren 570S (won best driver's car and it's TWO SECONDS quicker around Laguna Seca somehow, even though NSX was on Trofeo R tires), Audi R8 V10 Plus (faster around track and in a straight line and sounds better drives better has a nicer interior it's cheaper has 600hp etc), 911 Turbo S (same HP but much quicker in every way and around a track), you get the idea. For the price of an NSX, I would happily get a BMW i8 (hybrid same like the NSX and looks just as nice but has scissor Lambo doors!), and an AMG GTS. That's ridiculous. The NSX doesn't excel in any category. At least the old GTR was fast and still is after 10 years of production. NSX is just late to the party and hasn't brought anything new to the table. Just me $0.02.

  15. Ponygt 662 So first you say Corvette is best car in the world then you say NSX is great. Wow what a fucking hypocrite. Just fuck off will you?

  16. Ponygt 662 Stop trolling you're failing hard.

  17. Vince Switzer I'm not hating on it, I'm just disappointed. They ruined such a great opportunity.
    2
  18. ***** You can't use the ACR on the street. This is not my opinion, it is a fact as stated by MotorTrend when they tested it. The 570S and Turbo S and all those cars are GT cars that happen to be very fast and you can use them daily. Now fuck off dipshit.
    2
  19. I'm a Porsche guy but I agree, it's great.
    2
  20. ourworlds atwar Very underpowered? 500hp is underpowered yet 570hp in a heavy car is good? And it's also slower than an AMG GTS around Laguna Seca. Finally, looks like shit?You're lying through your teeth. I'm done bye.

  21. eyesrightout The problem isn't the paddles dude. Have you sat in a new NSX? I have. The materials look like they belong in a 40k car. Plastic everywhere, shiny red leather (i.e. cheap leather, not the real thing), and the dials in the centre console look straight out of a Civic. It's slower than most of its competition around most tracks. That's the fact.
    2
  22. Motor Trend tested the car with Trofeo R tires yet it still did very poorly.
    2
  23. eyesrightout At launch, the McLaren 12C was quicker than all of its rivals, despite being McLaren's first road car in 20 years.
    2
  24. Ponygt 662 I wasn't disrespectful to you. Corvettes are not bad cars, but they're simply not as good as Porsches. There's a very good reason they cost less; they're not as good. You can easily get a fast cheap car. Just get a Radical or a get a used race car. That's not the point though.

  25. Ponygt 662 RIP English.

  26. ***** The Vette overheats after one lap. That's a fact. Prove me wrong.
    2
  27. ***** Literally 1 car caught on fire, the GT3. Porsche replaced every single engine prophylactically, and replaced burnt cars. Chevy didn't fix shit.
    2
  28. ***** It overheated in the hands of MotorTrend after 1 lap. Porsche GT3RS goes around the Nurburgring as a ring-taxi, meaning it does laps for 6-8 hours a day all year long. The lap itself is 23km but you've never ever heard of a Porsche overheating.

  29. ourworlds atwar Maybe, but they screwed up. Nothing is great on this car. I guess that's what happens when you trust Americans to develop a good car...

  30. ***** What more do you need? Geez. You want me to fly you to where I live and take you for a drive? What qualifies as "proof". Unbelievable seriously.

  31. Fernando Fragoso What's your point? They also make the shit engine in the McLaren F1 car.

  33. Chaty R. Learn to spell and come back you stupid piece of shit.

  34. ourworlds atwar Yes and no. They developed an entire hybrid system and didn't do well. The original protoype had a V10 engine. Imagine what they could've achieved with a V10...

  35. S Saini No actually. 918's time attack mode only lasts like a few laps (maybe 10?).
    1
  36. S Saini While I almost agree, you must remember that the LaFerrari and 918 are much much quicker than an NSX, so they literally have more braking force to harness.

  37. Johnny Salvattore Here's the thing mate. The 911 has so many variants and you don't know what you're talking about. The 911 R was sold out before even getting revealed. All 991 examples found owners. When the 991 GT3 came out it was sold out for 2 years in advance. Same with the GT3RS. Believe it or not, even the 991 Turbo was sold out for 1.5 years in advance (when it came out in 2013). And it's not even the most special model in the 911 range. So somehow Porsche managed to sell out 4 models in the past 4 years alone.

  38. Logλn L Just stop it. That's some random ass track nobody has ever heard of. Try again. NSX was shit around Laguna Seca. It's shit here around this short circuit. It's shit around every single track it's even been on.
    1
  39. Logλn L Okay when the new NSX sorts its shit out, I will support its existence. Till then though, it fucking sucks.

  40. Vince Switzer The "driver" didn't love the car. It's not a bad car, but it's nothing to write home about, especially at that price point.

  41. Jujutsuheiho Not on trofeo r tires it's not.
    1
  42. Jujutsuheiho With all due respect, at 225 width, you really can't appreciate tire noise. More importantly, since you're lower to the ground and closer to the road (and tires) you'll definitely hear the difference. The new NSX has 245 at the front and a colossal 305 at the rear. Not the point though. Main point here is this: R compound tires are not meant to be used on wet surfaces or on a daily basis. Imagine aquaplaning every time it rains. There are 4 seasons you know... Also, tread-wear grade is dismal on R compound tires. Side walls are still as fuck, so ride is even worse, especially considering this car comes standard with 20 inch rims. If R compound tires are acceptable daily tires, why aren't all manufacturers like Porsche and McLaren using them on all their road cars? The fact that every single car in its class come with regular PZeros or Michelin PSS should tell you about the shortcomings of the new NSX. Even the 10 year old GTR comes with regular summer tires yet it's still just as quick.

  43. Jujutsuheiho It's not about the suspension dude. Did you even read what I wrote? I'm done.

  46. Not really. Porsche won by a landslide.

  47. Emilioh888 That's a 0.4 second difference on a 43 second lap. Around Laguna Seca that's 3-4 seconds, which is massive. Have some common sense.

  48. Emilioh888 I'm not, it's common sense.

  49. eyesrightout I definitely agree with that. We'll have to wait and see.

  50. Vince Switzer LOL is that why Porsches are selling like hot cakes? If you think all 911s look the same then you really don't know what you're talking about. Seriously.

  51. ourworlds atwar Here's the thing though: I like GM. They're not bad, they're just not amazing like "holy shit Corvette is best sports car ever made for the money that you can drive on American roads but nobody in the world likes it so fuck them". Anyway... "Most supercar interior are bare bones". Nope. Does this look like a 200k car to you? http://o.aolcdn.com/dims-global/dims3/GLOB/legacy_thumbnail/750x422/quality/95/http://www.blogcdn.com/slideshows/images/slides/367/699/3/S3676993/slug/l/28-2017-acura-nsx-1.jpg Here's an AMG GTS that costs half as much: http://st.motortrend.com/uploads/sites/5/2016/06/2018-Mercedes-AMG-GT-R-interior-view.jpg

  52. ourworlds atwar If your car is only appreciated by Americans then it's a shit car. Why? You only make up 3% of the world's population. Corvettes aren't bad but they're not the best thing ever you make it out to be. The NSX is shit. Have you ever seen a 200k interior that looks like that? The Acura TL's interior looks better. SSC Ultimate Aero is not the fastest car ever. Venom GT is a modified Lotus with a massive V8 swap, not really a feat of engineering is it? "How do I go fast?" "Fit a twin turbo V8 in there" "What about reliability comfort and usability?" "Nah screw that". That's why I don't like American cars. American Acura thought it's okay to make a shit chassis and strap on Trofeo R tires (because now it's somehow okay to put track tires on a "daily supercar" and still call it a "daily supercar" even though the tires are unusable in the rain, and have a shitty treadwear rating). Go figure. If anything, I'm more pissed that you think American cars are the best thing ever. I appreciate them, but I know they have faults, and so should you.
