Conclution:
Even though the race car won every challegen i would pick the LM Road Car. It can do everything. Its competative enoug to run with the other JGTC cars and prob the Touring cars also. Plus it comes with Sport tires so you can take it into all the races that dont allow race tires and only allow production cars. Also the NSX Type R “feels” alot faster thent he numbers showed. Dont spend your time looking at the base model. get the Type-R or look for a good deal in the used car lots. Looks for my next Road Test Soon.

do you know how the Acura NSXs compares to the Honda ones. Might be worth trying out?

Great write up.

My stock 2004(?) Acura has the worst power-to-weight-ratio of any NSX I have(I think around 9). They are worse because they are so heavy.

I thought this would be the right place to ask if anyone knows the differences between the JGTC NSX:s. Are they all the same or are they all different?

 

[spykerdriver]

All but the Takata are pretty much the same. I think it's heavier and up to newer regulations.

once more with feeling!

I'm sorry, but that didn't answer my question. Are the newer regulations better or worse than the old?

Sorry, but I have no idea. I only remember the weights becuase of another write-up. As for power or anything else, I cant help ya.

To me they ar all the same....but if u want a newer one...the Takata is the way to go
(I like the white Mobil1 one)

A stock nsx-r is one of my most favored cars to drive on any track. But the Castrol Mugen nsx is my favorite JGTC nsx to drive.
