James asks…
what car should I buy?
I have narrowed my search down to two cars a Porsche 911(996) and1991 Acura NSX. Im trying to find the right car based on performance (handling,0-60, top speed etc..). How do you think the engineering of the 1991 NSX compares to more modern cars like the 996. Also how would you define the 966 porsche engine.
admin answers:
In my opinion, you are really talking about 2 different types of performance cars......the NSX is a classic, one of a kind type sports car........far ahead of its time for the year and for the money.
The porsche is a modern powerhouse with up to date handling, power and overall speed.
Both are very cool cars but I think it depends on if you are going for the classic collectors type car (NSX) or the 'get in and haul ***' type (911/996).
Personally, I would go with the NSX if it is going to be kept as a collectible........go with the Porsche if you are going to drive it daily.
Good luck and nice choices!

The Acura is rarer and handles better.
The Porsche is quicker and faster depending on what version. Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera S. Carrera 4S, Turbo, GT2,. GT3? There are many type of 911's. The Carrera S and Turbo and GT models of the 911 are faster than the NSX.
If it is just the 911 Carrera or Carrera 4, then the performance would be the same and the Acura would be a better choice in my opinion.
Both are reliable.
The Acura is the most reliable Japanese supercar you can buy.
The Porsche is the most reliable German supercar you can buy.

Old but still good: What would you choose Subaru STI or Mitsubishi EVO?
I'd like to hear back from you all on the 2 cars. Seems like for 2006 the STI beat the EVO. I drive an 06 Scooby STI now. No mods! It's a real race car which belongs on the track. Before that i owned Vipers, Corvettes(Z06's included), Benzes(c55 AMG included), BMW's(M5 included), Cadillacs(CTS-V included), Acura NSX's, IROC-Z's, Mustangs, etc, etc, about 30-40 good performance cars in all, with more than 300hp each. Scooby is not as much fun as the rear-wheel drive cars with over 300hp, but it's definitely the best handling car I've had. Likely better than Lamborghini's and Ferrari's(never had them but driven plenty). I'd like to hear back from the serious driving enthusiasts and fans alike - which car do you think is better - EVO or STI, new models. Please check out MotorTrend test of the '06 models before you say which is quicker: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sedan/112_0512_rally_cars/
YES, I did measure 4.5 0-60 times in my Scooby on stock tires, on the street. Thank you!

Subaru's always have been the race car since the mid-70's when they first came out with their line of AWD vehicles. You don't see the EVO as much as you do on a rally course. Why? Because they lack sufficient power in the tranny as well as the tranfer case and suspension. And also the 4G63T motor always has a tendancy to break ALWAYS. The Subaru's tranny and transaxle configuration give the Subaru the edge in turning at high speed and corner like butter. I prefer Subaru than any other AWD vehicle out there. I also would take a Subaru over any turbocharged car out there. The only thing I dislike on the '06 Subarus are the front grill. It is very air restrictive. But anyways, if you are looking for a good rally car or to drive on wicked roads, Subaru is the way to go.

Porsche lovers: What do you think about the new Nissan GT-R?
The 2008 Nissan GT-R recently beat the track record of the Porsche Turbo at the Nurburgring and it has a 0-60 time in 3.5 sec. It is also more aerodynamic. And finally, it only costs only ~$80,000. What do you think about the Nissan GT-R vs. the Porsche Turbo?

Not so long ago, we thought the Audi R8 was going to get some of Porsche's sales, but now, the Nissan GT-R is a viable contender. What are your thoughts? The Japanese are bringing the Acura NSX, Lexus LF-A, and Toyota Supra here soon. Do you think Porsche needs to worry?

No matter what you do to it, it is still a Nissan. You will have plenty of boobs living in the suburbs going oooh-ahhh and buying them. However, I assure you that said boobs would rather have a Porsche.
I have an '06 911 Carrera 4s and love it. I'd gladly drop another $80k on a second 911 before I'd spend $40k, let alone $80k on a Nissan.
I'm currently on the road driving from Ontario to Florida in my 911, I lost count how many waves, thumbs up, honks, etc. I have received while driving. I assure a Nissan won't draw that kind of admiration on the road.
