How is this even comparable to a NSX in the first place?

Put the black mask back on.
The front reminds me of an Eclipse. The interior is straight out of the 1980's, maybe they borrowed some parts from KITT (Knight Rider). However the rear looks awesome. I'm loving the exhaust pipes and LED rear lights.
The Pronto design looked far better.
And $80K base price? I thought it was supposed to be competitive to the new M3's pricing at $65K?
Hopefully Amuse will come out with a better looking front end that might not fit that good.

Car and Driver tested a M5 with a 6 speed and the one with SMG and the SMG was faster in all test. The nissan has a DSG type tranny that will smoke most manual trans cars.

So upset about this, Ferrari was, that they sent out a Technician to "unlock" the faster shifting on the F430 and it was STILL a bit behind the MANUAL shifting of the human driver.
I'd rather go with a stick than a paddle.
If you need to go from 6th (or 7th) to say 3rd or 4th who will get there faster? The human hand or the 2-3 clicks of the paddle?
The GT-R is back to claim its title of King of the Ring which is did prior to the 911 Turbo beating it. Now the new 997 Turbo is left in the dust and the Carrera GT is being stalked, and pulled in for the kill.
Give me this car over the Z06 (odd I know but I said it) and any other shit bag but first through a 6 speed in her first.
