- June 5, 1998, on Acura NSX Review:
Just to let you know, the Acura NSX-T (especially
with the six-cogger)is my very favorite car out of
all the cars out there, and I have read just about
everything that there is to know about it. In
some magazines reviews I've read that the Acura
NSX is a really fun car to drive. But while I can
understand that, there are still others that think
that the car needs to have some soul/character.
I'm confused. Is there really a difference
between a car that's fun to drive and a car with
soul/character, or does it mean the same thing
except that some people have different perceptions
of it?

Continuing from where I left off, I've heard lots
of complaints about how the NSX has such a small
trunk. Porsche 911's and Dodge Viper roadsters
have even smaller trunks, yet I still can't
understand why no one ever complains about that.
Further more, I've heard other complaints on how
the NSX needs more power. First of all, one must
understand that the NSX's V6 engine is like no
ordinary V6. In fact, it actually enables the car
to perform as if it were more like a turbo charged
V6 or V8. For instance, in Motor Trend's April
1997 issue, the NSX was compared with six other
cars, all of which had larger engines. In going
from 0-60 mph, the NSX hit a whopping 4.8 sec.,
which was just as fast as the much more powerful
Chevrolet Corvette and Ferrari F355. Now is that
powerful enough for you or what? So, provided
with the info that I have already given, I hope
that those who underestimate the NSX will think
twice before talking trash about it. C...

You know, I've just read a couple of articles on
the new Honda SSX from a variety of different web
sites. From what was said, the base model may be
powered by by a 2.0 liter I-4, and a 2.5 liter I-5
would be optional. I've seen some pics of it, and
to be honest, it really doesn't look that bad at
all. So, for those who aren't really moved by the
NSX, they could check out the new SSX which would
coming up next year.
