NSX vs. E46 m3

[m3fanatic023]

how close is the race between a 2003 nsx and a 2003 m3 (smg or 6speed) i know the m3 has more power but it also weighs considerably more , so assuming equal drivers who do u think would win? anyone have expierience racing there m3 up against a facelifted nsx or vice versa?

m3(smg)=4.5 to 60 nsx(mt)=5.0 to 60

E46 M3 0-60 is 4.8, not 4.5 seconds. As for the NSX, I'm not sure.

NSX wins on track but i don't know about the strip and what model NSX btw Type-S Type-S Zero Type-R

[m3fanatic023]

well im not sure , i dont know too much about the nsx , which models are available in america?

[BIGMIKE1100]

NSX TYPE S-ZERO ALL THE WAY

[PrinceE30]

I'd guess the NSX in any trim (S, S-0, R). It's build with less "luxury" in mind and more "supercar" performance.

well the thing is im selling my m3 and after that ill have about 60 thousand to put down on a car , i love the way the facelifted nsx looks but i think the fact that its low on the power side ill be dissapointed after spending so much money , right now the three cars im seriously considering are 2002 m5 , 2002 nsx , 2002 911 , a 993 turbo is in my price range 2 but i would prefer a almost new to new car

If maintenance isn't much concern to you get a porsche, a 993tt is probably one of the best porsches out there, and its just rabidly fast. The 02 911 is a fast car, and has got the most updated looks...but i still think you'd have way more fun in a 993tt. I say go for a test drive

[m3fanatic023]

well ive driven my uncles 993tt and it is just ridiculously fast , im gonna get flamed for this but i dont like the looks , 2 dated for me and thinking about it idk if i would want a 911 cause i will always know i shoulda got the turbo. i need a car that has handling but i love the raw power the m5 has...has anyone driven a newer NSX , the 3.2 liter ? thanks for ur help

How about a 996TT? You can get a used one if you don't want to pay the hefty price tag of a new one.

EDIT: How about finding a low mileage 95 RX7 R1 and swapping the rotary out for a 2JZ-GTE??? It costs a lot, but I'm pretty sure you have enough for it. That would be so badass. You get the lightweight of the RX7 and the bulletproof, extremely reliable and responsive engine from a Supra TT.

ebdy , i would love a 996tt but i dont think i could fine one in my price range which is about 75000 , i could go a little higher but i would like to keep it around there , also can u give me more information or links about the RX7 thanks alot bro
