honda nsx gt – High Performance Mediocrity
Posted by admin in honda nsx gt on
Observing the Honda NSX, I can’t help but to see something that is not given much credit for what it had achieved before its termination in 2005. The mid engine NSX Type R has been proven on the tracks and winding roads of Japan while almost putting names like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Porsche to shame. Even though this machine will lap any circuit around the same time or even faster than the rest of these cars, it has been banished from the automotive world due to its low number of sales in the market. The big name European sports car manufacturers must have been shocked to tears when they heard that a Honda that was handcuffed to the 280hp Japanese regulation was running along side or in front of their 400-550hp monsters.
Despite its many wins on circuit over the more expensive high horsepower rivals, the car received little gratitude from the consumers. Maybe buyers really don’t care about a pure sports car’s actual capabilities, but something else that touches them. Why do people see such a car like the NSX to be mediocre? Why are they willing to spend three times the amount of money on something that can be technically considered inferior? Maybe people just don’t want to show off a car to their buddies that has a six cylinder with under 300hp. I mean, would you rather roll up in something with a roaring twelve cylinder showing others how far you have come in life, or have to show people videos of the NSX R spanking the world’s top super cars in order for them to believe it. Judging from the small amount of NSX sales and the answers to the question, “What’s your dream car?” it seems that if the public does not respect a manufacturer for creating a super car, then they might as well not even waste their time and money doing so.
