350Z better than NSX?
They sure think so.

Okay, so 350Z is great car. But I don't think it's better than NSX IMO.

The skyline has a turbocharger, that's why it accelerates faster. FI gives a better torque curve.
And a 350Z most likely won't be able to keep up with an NSX.
Have these people ever driven either of these two cars?
They make powerful assumptions, and their grammar sucks.

No kidding - morons to the max.
An S2K hang with a new NSX in acceleration? Umm...no. Drivers make all the difference (of course), but even with a bad driver, the NSX should pull - more torque spread around to help it out. Lower drag coefficient, too, for high-speed racing.
As for the 350Z hanging with a new NSX, that's a real joke - I'd love to see that happen. I always find it funny how people wonder how the NSX does so much with so little power (relatively speaking). It's heavier, has less balance, less ultimate grip, and less power (with more weight) - it's not happening (stock vs. stock).
Oh well - so much for educated posts, eh? ;P

I'm not too concerned with what these people say. In fact, as a Nissan stock holder, I'm quite happy that there are plenty of morons like this out there 
.
It's pretty cool that they are comparing a brand new car with a 10 year old car though (chassis design etc)

I personally think the NSX design is timeless.

i raced my stock S2k vs. a slightly modded NSX (i/h/e + a few little things) from a 5mph roll.
The NSX pulls like 3-4 cars before i even VTEC in first gear and by the time I shift into second it is slowly but steadily walking me...
that was a 92 NSX w/ 70k miles on it

Anyways, i/h/e + tuning will add A LOT of power to an NSX. Even with just the i/h/e and without the tuning.
