How can I be a troll?


This is UK car talk, not wank myself off over Honda

Take it easy chaps....

 

I do mark, but it's a bit annoying when you

 

Sub's right; Porsches are about as interesting (or refined) as a M-B at 80.

The more I convince myself the more the NSX makes sense.

 

I can agree with this, I was driving my mate's Boxster S again the other night round some local twisties. The engine has a really useful sweetspot at around 5.5k rpm, you can stay in same gear and concentrate on maintaining the attitude of the chassis - the engine really sings at these revs too and you get a feeling of thrust.

I can really respect the car and it does a lot of things right, but I can't love it like the S; with the Boxster you're still merely driving it, the S is much more intense, almost visceral.

 

That's absolutely what it comes down to: I prefer the NSX over the Porsches, because it makes everything an occasion, just like the S2000 does.

I know the Clarksonesque moan that german cars are too good, too boring is a cliche, but I find there is an elephant of truth in it.
