Most of you may not care very much about how a CR compares to an NSX on an autocross course, but for the small number that may be interested... I double entered at our local autocross this past Sunday and drove my car (the NSX) and a fellow competitor's s2000 CR. The idea was to get a good idea of how the 2 cars compare on the same course, with the same driver. This is a pretty detailed report with side-by-side comparison video.

Full details: http://nsxftw.blogspot.com/2012/08/b...-s2000-cr.html

Cliff's notes: In just 3 runs, I went faster in the CR than in my own car.

 

I don't disagree with your conclusions (if I were to pick a car to run in B Stock, I would pick the CR -- in fact, I did ), but the fact that both cars were on wasted tires, and as a result were both handling badly, renders the comparison inconclusive, in my mind.

If I won the lottery, I'd love to build a Zanardi NSX (basically an NSX CR) for B Stock just to be different, but the lottery's not cooperating...

 

No doubt, the comparison is flawed. But sadly, I do not have a large enough testing budget to outfit both cars with fresh tires for testing purposes . Still though, while not perfect information, there are still some useful conclusions I can draw from this.

 

That S2000s rule? And that sometimes there's a reason to follow the masses? I wouldn't bet against a 2011 WRX in RTA, either.

Want to sell me your NSX?

 

ap2 power with ap1 weight, CR for the win, to be expected.

 

I have no desire to sell the NSX, but hey, for the right price everything is for sale, right?

 

FYI, the NSX is now for sale if you are interested

For that money you could buy a mint CR and all the goodies

 

I bought a WRX and kept the CR.

 

Best of luck with the sale Vivek. This has been a great car to see at events and sad to see it go! If my job didn't require me to drive to the ghetto each day, I would consider something really nice like this!
