850CSi vs NSX: Which looks better?

According to ze internetz alzo

"The next step was taken in 1989 by Honda with the VTEC system. Honda had started production of a system that gives an engine the ability to operate on two completely different cam profiles, eliminating a major compromise in engine design. One profile designed to operate the valves at low engine speeds provides good road manners, low fuel consumption and low emissions output. The second is a high lift, long duration profile and comes into operation at high engine speeds to provide an increase in power output. The VTEC system was also further developed to provide other functions in engines designed primarily for low fuel consumption. The first VTEC engine Honda produced was the B16A which was installed in the Integra, CRX, and Civic hatchback available in Japan and Europe. In 1991 the Acura NSX powered by the C30A became the first VTEC equipped vehicle available in the US. VTEC can be considered the first "cam switching" system and is also one of only a few currently in production."

I don't even look twice at 8's

Broke my neck at a tracked out NSX last night though

To me, the 8 series is a beautiful car. I really like the way the NSX looks too, but it's different. The 8 to me oozes class, while the NSX looks like it's all business and technical. 8 series breaks my neck on the street, NSX doesn't.

[Oxer]

He should have said the first to perfect it

Honda > Alfa technology.

Did I mention the nsx can double as a submarine?

if you want to talk about firsts.....

"The Acura NSX was a car of firsts. Its engine was the first to feature variable valve timing

according to ze internet,

Alfa Romeo was the first manufacturer to use a variable valve timing system in production cars (US Patent 4,231,330) and was implemented in the 1980 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 L

if you want to talk about firsts.....

"The Acura NSX was a car of firsts. It was the first production car to feature aluminum construction for its body structure, body panels, suspension and engine. Its engine was the first to feature variable valve timing and a variable-volume intake manifold. It was the first Japanese sports car sold in America to truly go head-to-head with the world's best"

only about 8900 sold in a 15 year run in America...

and for those who dont know, NA2 refers to the engine/transmission which is the 3.2L 6spd which starts in 1997. mine is a NA2

=D

Its also worth noting that the 8-series did a lot of firsts...
It was the first V12 6-speed road car ever. It was the first drive-by-wire car ever, technology every car out there uses today. It was the first multi-link rear axle car as well.

what do you mean by multi link?

[WhiteStripes]

8'er for sho.

I've always thought the NSX was trying too mush to look like a Ferrari.

[Vipkindaguy]

nsx hands down. they are both pretty rare depending on how you look at it, very classy in my opinion and i actually like both, but if i were given keys to both, id take the nsx.
