It cracks me up because, I was asked a few years ago by a girl in NYC if we had Paved roads or Cable TV out here. :bowrofl:

I've traveled all over the world, but I always come back here :D

Pushing_Tin was able to capture some of the Oregon that I think of.

You guys actually have running water and plumbing? :icon17:

Nice one PT - That looks a little bit like heaven.

Props to your for your Z, and definite props to your friend with the clean NSX. Beautiful cars. I think it is one of the cars in the world that holds it's value very very well, something like less than 10% depreciation, and tons of appreciation as well.

My bad, can't say I know a whole lot about MB cars. Was for sure an AMG though.

Just a pocket size Canon digital ELPH SD1100, nothing fancy. Thanks for the compliment though! :tiphat:

Good skill, talent, and an eye for detail and photography is all that's needed to squeeze out great pictures from any camera.

Nice! I'm digging the NSX.]

WHAT! You guys can't pump your own GAS? Why is that?

Where else can you live where you can be at the beach in less than an hour and on a world class ski mountain in two?


370Z Purist 07-15-2009 11:33 AM

People don't have self service gas stations in Oregon.

Unions?

And that NSX is pure sex. I don't care if the Z outperforms it.

370Z Purist 07-15-2009 09:10 PM

Actually, I don't think the Z can outperform an NSX.

LOL, unions have nothing to do with it. It's supposed to be about "safety," but somehow all other states except NJ are able to fuel their vehicles without blowing themselves up, it's total BS.

These days it's more about the jobs, we have some of the highest unemployment in the nation and eliminating another 10k jobs isn't high on anybody's list.

I don't know actually. It would be close but the Z is way up on HP. That NSX is around 250hp and 210lb ft. Here are some 0-60 and 1/4 mile times I dug up.

1991 Acura NSX 5.8 14.4
1992 Acura NSX 5.6 13.9
1993 Acura NSX 5.6 13.9
1994 Acura NSX 5.3 13.6
1996 Acura NSX 5.2 13.8
1996 Acura NSX-T 5.8 14.3
1997 Acura NSX-T 4.8 13.3
2001 Acura NSX V6 4.5 12.9 (C&D TV 2001)
2002 Acura NSX 4.8 13.4

A quick search shows about a .92 average on the skid pad. Curb weights average around 3000lbs so it would be lighter for sure.

Nice photos!!

I would think that the 2000 - last production models would likely be "close" to outperforming a Z, I suppose. They're pretty hardy cars from what I hear, and the way they're set up, a harder to find mid engined layout, changes the car's feel. I suppose if someone were to run a stock 370Z versus a stock (well, mostly, NSX's are older) 2001-02 NSX might end up with some close numbers. It would be great, but an NSX is an beautiful car, one of my dream cars that's actually affordable (definitely more so than a Ferrari F430, lol).
Sure as hell our Z has a much smaller turning radius thanks to the tiny wheelbase, though lol
