dam the challenger looks like a RV next to the NSX.
Haha... I was thinking the same thing. That car looks HUGE!

Nice NSX though.

lol nothing much to translate.

From top to bottom

Challenging Willow Springs time attack in NSX-R. Wheels are Prodrive GC-07.


Also R53 GTR and Porsche, and the resurrected American Muscle Dodge Challenger SRT8.


In Japan, NSX is classified as relatively a huge car but comparing with the Challenger.....


In terms of Circuit Performance, NSX can't compare with R35 in straightline but the corner handling is excellent and lap time was about the same. It was well received by the driver too.

I can't believe the size difference in the NSX and the Challenger...I really looked like 3 times at it thinking the photo was altered for some reason.

I love both of those cars. Had a Challenger SRT8 pass me across an intersection and he went WOT...I admit, I popped a partial right then.

Thanks for finding this. I was looking for this write up. Good stuff. I originally thought Honda sold all five NSX-R GTs to corp Honda guys. Looks like Ichi San was able to score one. I wonder if he had to pay $400+ thousand for it.

I find the challenger to be a pathetically huge bland looking vehicle with no soul or style to the design. The retro thing really is a terrible idea and I find it pretty boring and already played out with the millionth diff. models/accessories they already are doing with the mustang. That said the NSX looks awesome as well as the GTR, if only both were as raw and as real a sports car as the Z06.
