You should use a drone for an overhead view when doing the brake test

Im a huge Merecedes fan, but the NSX kicked the GTR’s ass in this one

The NSX is underrated. I saw one on the road the other day and it looked sensational. A really very cool car!

[JustinAbroad]

NSX is so underrated. Sure. its not the same as the original.We could say that about every car.

[MrStachu]

As Mercedes fan, I must admit that Honda looks (and is) really serious!

"What exactly did happen?" the Honda was faster. I hope that clears things up for you.

The new NSX turned out to be a very underrated car.

That NSX is quite the missile off the line but thats the beauty of electric motors.

The NSX is so damn good looking. The AMG looks awesome too, but the NSX looks more special

[Turbosaunderground]

The tech car: Twin turbo engine, AWD, hybrid with 3 electric motors.

2:00 "traction doesn't matter when you're moving"? That's an interesting sentiment.

[arandomguynamedlars]

People who say the NSX is slow because "it's only a V6" smh

[Bobitrust]

Before watching the vid, I would say that up to 90mph the NSX should be "slightly" quicker, from 110-120mph the Benz should get a short lead and then pull harder. Time to watch :)
