Same year? You better believe I wouldn't be very impressed but at least the Ferrari has the benefit of having more "Ooooohhh factor" than the NSX. The average person won't even know what an NSX IS. I've heard this very conversation at a car show.
Person A:Oooohhh a Ferrari.
Person B:What kind is it?
Person A:I dunno...
Owners: It's not a Ferrari...it's an NSX. Acura makes them. **Beems with pride**
Person A&B:Oh...**walks away**
Hey if you like the car and all go ahead but in my book at least new I've never really been impressed by them. Year to year they are as fast as a base Vette that costs less than half of their MSRP and I just think that's kind of sad. It was Honda's attempt to play the Euros at their own game and when you do that you can't just roll something that kind of looks good out there costs just as much as the competition and is slower. You either have to match them on power and performance and undercut the price or destroy them in performance and match them in price or if you can do all three.
Take a look at the Ford GT. Rapes the Ferrari in it's price bracket and is only moderately slower than cars twice it's price. Then you have the Viper and the new Z06 that's coming out...THAT is how you take down the king of the mountain.
