Asking the real questions...

The NSX has a more sophisticated powertrain, it may turn out to be the better track car. For the average buyer that might not mean much given the huge difference in price. For a daily driver the Corvette is the easy choice. The NSX is a great car, they just let the price get out of control.

 

Hmm, I doubt the NSX will be a better track car, and the c8 has a lot of price gap left for a z06 and zr1 variant.

 

The C8 Z06 likely will beat the NSX at the track.
The C7 Z06 already beats the NSX. It’s pretty unlikely that the new Z06 is slower than the old one.

The fact that the NSX's engine is like $90k or something absurd like that means it would be a worse track car even if it's faster. You want to be able to afford an engine if you break it.

 

NSX 2.0 barely beat the GTR around a track. Any vette they make is a better buy for track use. NSX isn’t really designed for track use.

 

I'm not taking away anything from the Corvette, having been a big Corvette fan in my younger years and owning one a very long time ago. The new Corvette sounds phenomenal.

I do like the NSX for what it is, cost issues aside. Beating a GTR at the track is no small feat for the NSX, and I would prefer the NSX AWD SH system but that's just my preference. The engine replacement price wouldn't bother me as there would be a very low probability of a failure based on how I would use it. It's too bad the price got away on Honda, but they put too much development money into a clean sheet design, I'd never buy one at the advertised price. They should have kept it around the 100k mark, they seem to have screwed up on cost estimates in my opinion and the price really got away on them trying to bring it to market. Being a very low volume car with exceedingly high development and production costs. I love the end product, it's just the bang for the buck that is rather absurd. If you were to toss me the keys to either car on a racetrack I'd take the NSX, if I had to pay for the car that would be a different story.

 

So... you just prefer it, and not choosing it because you perceive it to be a better track car.

 

C8 probably faster around track.

C8 ugly trash that I'd rather see never built than on the road.

 

Troll.
