I just wish the Corvette designers had looked to the Italians for influence rather than Toyota.

As if each element were designed by different groups in different rooms. And why the sawtooth element under the front bumper? Radar evasion?

David Force ....the ford gt borrowed some of its most prominent design cues from the NSX (flying buttress and integrated side sill) and Nissan 2020 (rear). Ford quickly revealed the 3D printed GT concept the same day Honda revealed the production version of the NSX on purpose for the aforementioned reasons. They want others to believe the gt was all original or congruently developed without the others knowledge. Not true. The NSX's design had been out for the better part of 8 years. Everyone was already tired of seeing it when the official production version was revealed. No so with the Ford GT. That thing has japanese dna in it wheather they want to admit it or not.

Rob Lockhart I’m a car guy. I get 4 different car magazines. I have owned brand new Ferrari’s and other exotic cars and being born and raised in Detroit with 5 brothers I have been around classic muscle cars all my life. I knew about that NSX and was excited to see it at the Auto Show which is why it was shocking to me to see such a great car with incredible new technology be completely overshadowed and basically ignored because crowds of people were awestruck by a Ford. Of course it’s mostly a Ford in name only. I seriously considered the NSX but I looked at the performance numbers so comparable to the Vette that I couldn’t justify the extra cost for a car that didn’t look as exotic as the Chevy, at least for my taste.

When SpeedPhenom was speculating about a possible next level exotic car to consider adding to his garage, I wondered about this hybrid NSX. It seems be another be another everyday driver that would be very comfortable on the track, as is the new Stingray. The NSX is considerably more expensive, but it seems to feature some cutting edge technology. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to see SP checking this car out.

I look forward to a mid engine hybrid C8 Grand Sport in a couple of years just after they build a Z06 for this new generation. I don't expect it to go up to the mid 100k's until you start piling on the options but lift and magride should be standard on to Grand Sport if it makes makes it into production.

I find the styling of the NSX bland and lagging behind it's tech. Also a lot of us were hoping for a modern version of the old car, a usable, relatively cheap everyday driver. The Corvette is the NSX I've been waiting for.

Finally a video with the C8 and NSX. Powertrain differences aside, the cars are actually very similar. Multimaterial body panels bolted to an aluminum space frame. Longitudinal mid engine layout. Both built in America...in factories less than half a day’s drive from one another. Another similarity? Current market price. Demand for C8’s is so high people are selling their allocations or barely used cars for $95-115k. Which is right about the same price you can buy any one of the dozens of used NSXs for sale right now.

The Acura is a fast machine with a lot of technical things happening behind the driver. Since ima airplane nerd I’ll say it like this. The NSX is like a F35. Tons of Technology to help the pilot get around and maneuver. But is not as fast as it should be considering how long it took to be made. The Corvette is like a tried and true f16. Less technology but more fun and less problems to be had if something decides to break. Where the Corvette shines is that it is not overpowered. But that’s what I love about the C7 ZR1. It’s a car that is super powerful and you know you got a car that can run with the best of them. The C8 is great but there are lore cars that’ll smoke you if you aren’t careful
