In the second video, the guy driving the porsche is getting all squirelly in the corners and stuff, I wonder if with a better driver it would of performed better.

It's 480 normally and 520 when you press the sport button, if you have the Sport Chrono Package.

hopefully honda can keep all these and just put in a more powerful engine for a new nsx later
NSX-R is one of the top track cars ever built

In terms of looks, I still like the Z06 the best

Damn, at least we all know that wasnt Honda biased...

The NSX was gettin drove like it was stole, while the 997TT guy was goin easy--

The Lambo had the fastest time overall--

The 4wd porsche has cornering advantage over the NSX and horsepower/tq advantage.

With the right driving techniques the porsche could be driven in 4 wheel slides and nosed in a lot more--

He could've used a lot later braking too...
