Either we kill religion or it kills us... there is no peaceful coexistence.

In a head-to-head, what are the pro's and con's of the GT-R vs SL-C?

Looking forward to them. Just realized this would be track-only. Probably best that way... as something this extreme would get you in an accident quite quickly.

Oh wow, they are just a city over from me.

No those motors can really sound killer.

That's a great point... in the long run the NSX will not have the timeless visage as its' contemporaries. Maybe I should gear my decision to not getting a double purposed car, but rather get a nicer SUV and then a trailer to house an RCR LMP2? Keeping the track toy separate might be the better...

Naturally an emotional decision cannot be dissuaded using logic :heart: If, and only if, you want the holy grail of 'exotic' japanese motors then the 2JZ-TE, RB26, and even 1UZ-FE are far from it. As an aside, I've heard good review of people 'stroking' the 1UZ block with the addition of 2UZ...

Hate to say it but that motor, the 1UZ-FE, responds well in relation to the steep amount of money you would need to spend on it. Unlike the 2JZ-GTE (Supra engine) this one is not an iron block... thus a lot less reliable when pushing high boost. Trust me, I currently own a Lexus SC4 and that...

Well-done Fran! That provides far more usability than even a comparable Radical Race Car... throw the LMP skin for the track and base skin for the street--like getting two cars :drunk:

Both great choices... even better together! When the new NSX comes out it'll make this current gen a relic. Unlike a Ferrari though I have a hunch the NSX will not age into a 'classic' because of that Honda DNA. Another point of reluctance for me.

Hate to ask, but do you wish you had kept it? What did you upgrade up to? I assume the SL-C did not come until later haha Yes, the Exige has also been on my radar... Indeed the Ultima GTR is not OEM... but I was looking at other 'boutique' track cars as well.

That's really good to keep in mind--you're right.

Quick question for the GT40 forum family. In your opinion, what is the best car that does well in both the track and behaves in the street? After driving a buddy's NSX I literally feel the need to make it my next car. His had the comptech blower so it put down 100 more ponies than stock and...

My intuition would suggest that those very same 'boy-racers' would rather buy up a modified Honda S2000 or something similar... maybe building up a C5 Corvette. Of course that could be my deep-seated-cynicism talking. If/when Fran sells off the Apex it'll probably be a safer business decision...

Let's hope for a narrower version of this Ariel Atom re-body (Rezvani BEAST):
