Acura NSX vs ZL1 Chevy Camaro - domestic vs import drag racing

[@StandingUpForBetter]

Got to love that orange import hand made by Americans in Ohio, USA. The NSX will go down as one of the most under appreciated performance cars out there. The last of this generation is the NSX Type S and it is even more impressive. These cars will be future classics for sure.

@Redden you stuck on the 90s car with a 6 cylinder engine and no turbos or powering steering. Come on Sir! Honda makes a lot of bad a$$ motorcycle and very very very few bad a$$ cars. The new nsx is a master piece. Is it the baddest car ever made...no. At least they did something besides their usual focus. That would be fuel economy on their car game.

[@vmoya6631]

@Redden I would agree with you, but I love Honda too much. You say it don't deserve the nsx name. The type S in fact is something else in all the good ways. It has 2 motors, 2 turbos & 600 hp out the box. I could go on... I'll stop though. That's the type of machine worthy of Honda's race capabilites. I'd name it the CBR 1000 RR car & bump up the hp to 1000. Show the world Honda's Race Ready plate in the form of a car.

[@vmoya6631]

@Redden Real talk dude. Anything over 400 hp is all gravy for the streets. Streets are not prepared for racing. More hp than that tires breaking loose. I'd say 95% of people won't be able to handle rear wheels breaking loose going over 50 mph. The other option. Take your beautiful expensive car to the track and break the engine or part of the drive train. Or somebody loses control and crashes into your car. Insurance company will not pay. Oh you gonna lie to a professional insurance adjustor about were the crash happen. That's a loss... they are equal to a defective. Racing ain't safe or cheap. Gonna be ready to die and spend lots of money to be fast. Personally I race motorcycle. Motocross and super sport bikes both. They are faster, cheaper and handle the punishment with no limit.

@@kevinglainez8151 That is often true but mind you EVERY cars even old ones have parts that are NOT made in "where is supposed to be" or such. For example a Volvo 760's air intake is made in France and a Volvo 1st gen V60 part of window is made in China but the rest of windows are by Seikurit in Sweden. So you can't just say that Camaro isn't an American cause it has Mexican and China parts. Several other small parts can be made in Japan, Czech Republic and more. That's why it's important to know where cars are designed, engineered, made and assembled. Having said that things can be complicated. Both cars in this vid are American.

I don't understand why a 150k vs 65k would even try? How do you justify 150k vs 65k? NSX over priced and out of reach of their orginal fan base. No wonder older Gen NSX shot up in value.

[@Boblib1970]

Because some people don't look at things through the lens of lowest cost, maybe? 🤷🏼‍♂️ Believe it or not some people would rather have a more rare and special car over a car that you see dozens of times a day, even if it costs them an extra 85k. If going as fast as possible for as cheap was possible is the goal, surely the guy who owns the NSX could buy a dedicated race car, tow vehicle, and trailer for less than 65k and outrun the ZL1 if he wanted too.

[@Wylie288]

Because america allows modded cars. So its actually quite common for super cars to be beaten by every day drivers here. Why pay 150k when you can mod it for cheaper? Its only worth that 150k because most people don't have any other option to get a car that fast.

[@doktorwyvern2883]

"Out of reach of their original fan base" Adjusted for inflation a 91 NSX had a sticker of $120k and an 05 had a sticker of $125k. What are you smoking?

The new Z is going to be great with a few modifications. Will be a good all around vehicle for those of us that like these things called Corners. The straight line stuff is okay in small doses but it's mind numbingly old. To me a car is stupid if it cannot corner/brake/communicate well to the driver. Gotta hand it to the ZL-1 being great at both. Too bad though you see about 6 BILLION Cameros on the road.. I was going to get one and then just lost interest.

Disclaimer - I'm not a NSX fan. So don't be too salty Maybe the Camaro is stock. but it has drag spec Tyres. So that's why it won. There's no magazine's tests say that stock Camaro ZL1 can run 11 flat. But the NSX had.
