As much as I like Vetts (owned a few) I am amused at how juvenile their owners are when they lose. Look at those comments.

wow, after watching the first video, the 2nd video is very very interesting i think. amazing to see how the turbo destroys the nsx-r on the straight, but on the track the turbo just couldn't really catch up with the nsx-r at all. that shows that honda is still putting up a tremendous overall packaged nsx out there (probably the weight of the turbo is killing it?)

hopefully honda can keep all these and just put in a more powerful engine for a new nsx later

its gotta be the lightweight aluminum frame of NSX and the wider body that allows it to corner better

yup it is. but with a normal nsx, i am not sure if it can go with the tt.

with that said though, i wonder how the gt3 would do against the nsx-r, or maybe on the extreme the gt3 rs
