I have owned a ‘91 NSX and ‘00 gated Modena for several years and your review is spot on 100%. The NSX is by far the better car but the Ferrari is by far the more exciting car to drive. It’s the age old question… do you want to be with a wild woman or a good woman? 😮

[@Druze_Tito]

A good wild woman. A Honda. So much of the wild woman if she gives you siphilis.

[@HellaRandomVideos]

And for a lucky few… Why not both 🤷‍♂️ 😅

[@Pokka676]

Ill take the Ferrari sell that chit and buy nsx, pocket the rest. Win win

[@johnmitchell2269]

The way my mind works - go for the good woman and attempt to make her a little wild 😂 Or in other words, go for the NSX but modify it with say a supercharger, a tune, aftermarket wheels, bigger brakes and coilovers

[@rabidrabiesracing]

@@johnmitchell2269 It’s a great idea you have. Science of speed supercharger, better braking, nsx-r springs and dampers and wheels and you are in a real happy place. Don’t need more than that.

[@spyharpy]

Fenton, it was a pleasure you having review my NSX! Amazing how the short gears really change the car. Just a note that the exhaust was from a 95-96 NSX and is a direct bolt on. The 97+ had different piping. I changed it given I wasn’t a fan of the oval tips on the 91-94 models. I also love the stock exhaust as I want to hear the full engine note unobstructed by a noisy exhaust. I briefly had a Comptech exhaust on the car and took it off given it drowned out the engine note. Thanks again for reviewing my car. I’ve driven a F360 many times and it’s quite a driving experience. The engine paired with the Capristo exhaust is the perfect combination.

[@feelthatfeelthat]

You've got a beautiful car that should serve you well.

[@Nukem962001]

I wanted to say curse you. I have been debating going JDM gear set with the 4.23 final on my 91. I kept trying to tell myself "I don't need it, I don't need it", then this video popped up on my recommendations list. Now I am looking at my budget to get this done, along with any other items I should take care of at that time. Serious though, thanks for loaning your car out for this review.

[@schubert5624]

Yeah man, with the Capristo or Tubi, it becomes an absolute riot. I've had the luck to drive a lot of cool cars, but this period always holds dear to me. Even through the silly bubble lights, the NSX is ridiculously satisfying.

[@9000revsyt]

Maybe a 2000 NSX (NA2) should be compared to the 2000 360. As we know, the NA2 had quite a few improvements over NA1, 6 speed, 3.2L, suspension and brakes.

[@andynater1885]

The 360 was actually rather flawed, superb engine but otherwise not great, and rather horrible build quality, the F430 was a major step forward, would like to see you review that someday...

[@lamboman2]

Loved my smooth, refined NSX but it was factory tamed. My Gallardo was raw and untamable. I’ll take the brute every time.

Looooved the way you do it in such a casual manner and how an everyday dude will do it (with normal driving skills), like somebobody else just said it earlier in the comments. You tell your truth, are free in your opinions, views angle are simple but work a treat. Keep going man that is simple brilliant work on the cars lovers youtube business. Blessing from France ! (By the way, my heart goes both ways, because of gran turismo and Ayrton killing it on Suzuka for the press for the NSX and how not to be overwhelmed by the poster i had of the 360 modena back in my young boy room and the way it goes now being a grown man. Tough call so, I guess you summed it up pretty right you need both !)

[@cootholler22]

Your feedback is so spot on for people that care about driving experience. Would love to see you do more reviews of other popular models to get your take.

[@SublyminalTV]

As an owner myself of both I’d have to disagree. The NSX will always have that special place in my heart, but the Gated 360 for me has been better in every way. Great video though!

[@jayshimada6893]

Hi Zygrene, thank you so much for your Nsx content! The more you compare your NSX with another cars, the more convincing you can get yourself to like your Nsx for sure, the complete cohesive package I like the way you describe. NSX is my national pride 🇯🇵 Right now I’m happy with my combo of AP1 and S260 exige and wondering if you could convince me to swap S260 with NSX?

NA2 1999 typeS of 0→62mph is 4.9sec, 360 Modena is 4.9, 0→400m drag time is 12.9 sec from Car graphic performance data. 1990 NSX of 0→62mph is 5.7 sec. We can learn the later 3.2 model NSX-S and 360 are the same performance from these data! Maybe the NSX 3.2 coupe is 0→62 in 5sec and around 13.2 sec in quarter mile drag time? I always like your review!

Eventually an owner's gonna have to splurge to reupholster things because there's just too much real leather in there. The dash looks like it's in good shape though. Very nice back-to-back comparison and not too surprised with the results, even as a Ferrari guy.

[@tangovang8699]

I love my nsx. Installed headers and real loud exhaust and the car was much much more fun to drive and listened to because u don’t wanna take your foot off the gas pedal. But I hate that when I go very fast on canyon runs, on sharp turns I feel the front wheel lifting up, but it still gets full traction.

[@slopetechno]

Good to hear the real talk about the gated manual. Have you driven an F1?

[@schubert5624]

Great video man! I love this type of stuff. Love the silly 'stop' button on the Ferrari AC controls, and they barely work I might be wrong, but you can't find a solid manual 360 for under $140k. A good one will run 10-20% more than that. At some point, I will grab an NSX - incredible car to drive.

Very similar thoughts to how I compare my NSX and my 308. The NSX is technically superior in probably every way possible. But the 308 is much more emotional of a drive, by a huge margin. I'm still not sure which I'd keep if I could only keep one.

[@geoffclarke3796]

Great video. Have never driven a 360 but back in 2003/04 I was considering buying a Ferrari 355 as had always like the shape. I hired one for a weekend trip away and loved the noise and the gated gear change was really sweet to use. It rode well and the handling was impressive though what put me off was the slow steering which lacked feel and the build quality which was not up to German or Japanese standards. I ended up getting a Porsche 996 GT3 which I owned for 12 years and was great fun especially after a few minor mods to the engine and suspension. I wanted to get into track days and I felt the 355 would prove expensive to track. I think Ferrari in later years have upped their game in terms of build quality going by the 458 Speciale I was fortunate to have a ride in.

[@nerome619]

[@flat6croc]

Re the revs dropping between upshifts, instead of slamming the shift so hard, it's a lot more sympathetic to the synchros to shift more gently and smoothly timed and then just put a little blip in on the upshifts, too. You'll feel more in tune with the powertrain, too, rather than forcing it.

[@johnvigolo4972]

Strongly agree, the gated gearbox in the Ferrari’s are well known NOT to be rushed when shifting as if you’re driving a truck. Which is why the auto paddle shift is the better option & in my opinion, better matched with the engine, especially for track days

[@ultimaevo77]

Blip on the upshift.... another one who misunderstood fast and the furious 😂 there is zero benefit to blipping an upshift, it's for the downshift.

[@flat6croc]

@@ultimaevo77 Afraid it's you who doesn't understand how to shift and likely learned from Fast and Furious if you think there's no benefit to blipping on upshifts. Engines with minimal flywheel effect lose revs very rapidly between shifts including upshifts. So, one option is to try to shift really quickly so the revs don't drop too low before you re-engage the clutch. This is what 'fast and furious' types will do, they'll attempt to speed shift, ramming the shift through really quickly. This is horrible for the synchros. Somebody with a more nuanced, informed and mechanically sympathetic approach will shift at a pace that allows the synchros to mesh more gently and thus put a little blip in to match the revs with road speed in the new gear. Blipping isn't for downshifting. It's not for upshifting. It's for matching engine and road speed on any shift where there will be a mismatch. My hopes aren't high that you'll take this novel information well, as you'll be too busy slamming you shifts in fast and furious style and imagining you know what you're doing!

[@jasonscotta7129]

Been operating manuals a lifetime now. If you properly time your upshifting, forget blipping the throttle. You hardly need to use your clutch, blipping the throttle is only necessary for downshifting.

[@flat6croc]

@@jasonscotta7129 Incorrect. What experience do you have of engines with very little flywheel effect? Evidently none. Like I said, with engines with little to no flywheel effect, you have a choice of ramming through your shfits fast and abusing the synchros or putting in a little blip. On cars with very low flywheel effect, it's typically not a case on blipping on every upshift, but dependent on need and timing. It's all about being mechanically sympathetic to the synchros, as opposed to trying to be like Fast and Furios and speed shift like a prat, smashing through the synchros. That's a horrible, clumsy and crass way to drive. You may have been operating a manuals for a lifetime, but it's clear you still have plenty to learn.

[@innerlightfilms]

Find someone with a 93+ Corvette ZR-1 to compare with the NSX. I was caught between the 2 and went with the Z. Mostly because Im an American chauvinist, but also because it was cheaper, and I wanted more horses under the hood. It's a great car with a very raw driving experience, beautiful exhaust note, and cockpit style interior that's hard to match.

[@Datsun510zen]

When I think of exotic sports cars, things like passion, visceral experience, and driving excitement come to mind. Ferrari's embody that, and the 360 Modena is no exception. It's about providing a connection to 80+ years of racing heritage the Italion way. That doesn't include high performing AC, or tactile refinements.

Another nice video, thanks. I suspect your NSX would be much more fun for B roads / canyon driving on smaller wheels like this car. You'll get much more feel, the car will be more nimble and the limit will be more accessible, progressive and fun. It makes such a huge difference. Big wheels and tyres come with so many negatives for this kind of driving, but so many people still bolt them on. Having driven a 360, it was OK, but had a sort of glorified kit car feel.

Great comparison! I'd love to see if you could compare an 05 NSX to an 05 Porsche boxster S. Both mid engined, 3.2L, 280ish hp, and 3100 lbs. When they were both for sale, I believe the NSX was about $30k more, so I would be interested to see how they stack up with such a large price difference and such similar specifications on paper. The only test I was able to find was with a base 981 boxster, which is down on hp and torque, and doesn't have the same steering feel of a 987.

[@gazman9468]

As an owner of a 987 3.2S I would imagine they might stack up pretty evenly performance wise. One area I think the NSX might certainly win though is the gearbox. I've driven and owned several Hondas and the 987 gearbox is quite clunky by comparison. I would love an NSX myself but as you pointed out the price difference is huge now.

[@joels6736]

He really said Mah-deh-nah, multiple times. When it comes to the Mah-deh-nah's steering feed back perhaps the alignment could use some adjustment. Typically, low caster creates a "loose" feedback. Increase the positive caster and you'll get more "loadup" in the steering on corners.

Pretty cool comparison. The NSX did everything it was desogned to do. Compeye with Supercars but be able to be driven as a daily drivrr and cost almost exactly the same amount in maintenance as an Integra. FYI, putting a manual transmission car into 1st gear at any speed just over rolling is bad for the transmission. Its not designed to be used thst way, and why so many dont have synchros for 1st gear.

[@bb57365]

I’m not a Ferrari fan but I do prefer it over the NSX. Just based on the sound alone. A lot more involved driving experience. But my R8 V10 manual, that’s the keeper.

[@bluegrapevr6]

Firstly great comparo. I think you were pretty spot on. As a pretty seasoned Street car Ferrari driver I knoticed you picked up on the heavy brakes right away, they do this bc the mid engine V8 cars really rotate during braking, take out long term reliability the two engines are apples and oranges ( ive driven a U S. Spec NSX-Full boltons a lot) just for comparison. It might have been helpful to drive them in reverse order. All manual ferraris dont shift smooth the first 30 minutes, all have heavy brakes and all v8's 308'- modetna have heavy trail braking/mid engine neutrality, which was neutered a lil in the NSX imo. I think you 80% got it right. That model/trim ferrari interior is junk, nsx way superior for dailying, although modens are notorious good road cars for being ferrari. On a track, with a real tire, the nsx is obv getting smoked. Ferrari purposely kept all the analog /nvh emotion, where the whole thing w NSX WAS mute it while imitating a 355 tuned for less oversteer. But, great vid snd im a biased 328 owner.

I keep forgetting you still have the 987 so of course anything in Porsche land you’d get to replace it would be orders of magnitude more expensive for arguably less actual step up in experience. No wonder you’re keeping the NSX. That said, listening to this on board of the NSX the engine itself really does leave something to be desired. Basic V6 just doesn’t go very hard.

[@samueldowney2806]

Great video, and pretty much as I would have expected from all the reviews I've read over the years. If we could afford one, all of us would want and have a Ferrari. But at the expense of a near perfectly pitched and resolved super sports car modern classic that's never been improved on, and now, with modern tech, never will be? hmm...probably not. If you could have both, congrats. Obviously you were unfamiliar and cautious with the 360, but it was very visible in the video that you couldn't relax with it and exploit it down that road. It was much more point and squirt. Still wonderful and heaps of fun for sure, but not the completely resolved driving experience of the NSX. NSX: Better steering, better transmission, better ride/handling and overall chassis balance. Yes, the Ferrari has one of the most exciting motors ever, but the NSX has one of the best also...

[@damon123jones]

[@_kunkle]

Doesn't the power drop off after 7k rpm on the NSX? Why is fuel cutoff so high lol

[@gazman9468]

Peak power is just above 7k rpm and drops off fairly slowly. It's more about being able to land back in the power band after gear changes.

[@16vr68]

The NSX really could have benefited more by having a small, flatplane V8. I noticed while driving one a few years ago that the idle seemed unusually rough.(car only had 19k miles) Recently discovered that Honda left out balance shafts to save weight/space. A wider rear end and tire size along with a V8 would have gone a long way with this car. And the 360 wheels are from an F430. Both great cars.

I remember driving both back to back in 2000/2001 and both the 3.0 and the 3.2 NSX were the better car all day long. I even preferred them to the 993 911 as a car. The Turbo would be faster and, if I'm honest, looks better too but I'd still pick the NSX as the better overall car. I don't think ppl realize how further ahead of the competition the NSX was when it first came out. I mean, we're talking about a car that effectively was released in 1990 and comparing it to the Ferrari 360 which was released nearly 10 years later! The 1st time I drove an NSX I was in love in like 30s... I had a 300ZX TT at the time and spent months doing all kinds of math to try and get a NSX instead hahaha then missed the boat a few years later when I could afford them easily and actually enjoy them. Unfortunately now they've reached a point where they cost so much that it would diminish my driving pleasure due to the pure worry of damaging the NSX somehow.
