NSX vs a 355. Wow that Honda is quite good against the mighty Ferrari.

We were talking about looks.
But you don't know anything, thats my point. I haven't owned a console since a mega drive and master system.

Do you also have rage issues in real life?
Because people are trying to **** me off, and it's lame, just because i don't have 10,000 posts.
Like ive said, nobody else has really said anything other than opinion, which is pretty much the same as what ive done.
Rage issues?
its nothing to do with your postcount mate
You refuse to accept that your opinion could be in any way wrong and your attitude is one of "its you people that are wrong"
If you'd said that VTEC power delivery is your preference and for that reason you prefer a DC5 over a 911, nobody would really have argued - its personal preference.
But its the stupid "911s are boring and crap, the GT3 is just a carrera with a big wing" crap that have made people have a go at you. Not your postcount.

Normally people can do something called discussing a topic, whilst doing this they can see the other persons view and use his view to facilitate the education of the other party so they come around to see his view.
However you've done the real world equivalent of a smash and grab, hence why you've got everyone’s back up and they now don't want to play nice.

No, i never once said id rather own a DC5 than a Porsche, im not insane lol, i said if i had the money to buy one, i would never buy a Porsche, because id prefer something with a bit more flair, something different.
The same old VTEC statements get boring. No torque? Well tell me why this matters?
Im still amazed my rubbish revy honda can keep up with these fantastic hot hatches etc.. DC5 is 9 old. it would have smashed anything Ford, renault, vauxhall had at the time for the same price, and still does.
Just say 220brake from a 2.0 N/A is ace, and ill be happy.
Thats all that was needed.I forgot it's torque that gets you down the road though. So why doesn't a turbo diesel smoke my ass?

Actually, I love Hondas and Ferraris are lower on my 'dream garage' list - I'm a Porsche man
, I just don't think the NSX looks the part. Like you say, it looks more like its in RX7 territory than it is Ferrari 355.You should read my posts, I said it walks the walk but fails to talk the talk. Ie. it performs, but just doesn't look the part IMO.
You're wrong, My Focus is irrelevant in this discussion, but if you want to start willy waving - the even rarer 28 year old hot hatch in my garage is at least as fast as your DC5 in a straight line, and is very likely faster on track.

Uh oh now you've done it.
Oh, I almost forgot, as for why Diesels aren't faster than your car, even though it is torque that takes you up the road, the answer is very, very simple.
BHP is a product of torque because HP = torque * RPM / 5252. Now with that equation, it is easy to establish that they are not faster because you have more revs (y0).
Now, go get a clue before you provide your retort.
