So you aren't a fan of the McLaren P1, Ferrari LaFerrari or Porsche 918, since they have that hybrid crap?

Don't forget these crappy hybrids, as well.

Fan of the 918, no not really. Way too heavy - I'd prefer a CGT. The P1 and TheFerrari. Yes I am because the hybrid systems aren't the overpowering main vehicle characteristic, and are rather complementary to the conventional powertrains, and those cars are still relatively lightweight.

Exactly what does that have to do with the conversation? Those vehicles have been forced to hybrid drive by the ACO's regulations.

Somebody seemed to indicate hybrid stuff is crap. I wanted to show examples of non-crap hybrids, showing that having hybrid aspects doesn't make a car crap. (Other aspects can certainly make a car crap, of course.)

Yep. And they're damn fast.

Saw 4 Nsx's yesterday driving the canyons around Idyllwild, CA. They look pretty good in person. Although they were going the opposite direction so i didnt get to look for very long. Got me all excited to see them out on the road though.

More info on the NSX GT3 racecar.

http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-show...nsx-gt3-racer/

As expected, RWD only and uses the production car's engine (more or less) with a 6-spd sequential gearbox.
