Well, they're all nice cars. It's a tough choice but, I would take the NSX probably one of if not the best handling cars ever produced

 

[TinmanMS6]

Have to go with the NSX. I'm a Honda fanboy at heart.

 

[orlandomsp]

RX7, NSX, GTR in that order.

 

[vindication]

for road carving I'd take NSX.

 

[JC-MP5]

Love my Mazdas, would go with Honda last........ But I had to pick the GTR. I know it prolly wouldnt be the best out of the group, but it's still a GTR. Definitely my pick if I had all 3 in a lot with the keys at my disposal.

 

[genericuser]

there are no dogs in this group.

I'm going with the NSX. Picking between the NSX and the RX7 was like deciding which twin lives and which dies.

 

[mikeyb]

All three are great cars but the Nissan fanboy in me is showing itself with me voting for the GT-R Z-Tune.

 

[thaikim]

hey put all the keys in a box, shake em up, I'll close my eyes and pick one out at random... I think it would be a win, win situation here.

Euro Honda NSX is so friggen rare!! I would go for that all the way. Even the Acura NXS here in north america are rare, divide that by a billion. The Rx-7 would be next for a mountain run. But if I was rippin around the town I'd be in the skyline for sure.

Mostly because I've taken an imported skyline down the quater mile (guy who owns it is crazy rich and has like 6 others, imports and sells them also owns body shop so hes loaded). It was fun, hard to get used to the right hand drive, but its got too much power for turns, its a straight line highway raper. I got 11.7 and I misshifted 3rd and slept at the line lol. That thing is ****** crazy to drive.

I had to go with the RX7, I've always wanted one. The NSX just dont do anythig for me. And the 500hp in the GTR would be too much, and I'm just not a big fan of them.

 

[susamafone]

NSX, RX-7, then GT-R

the NSX may not be the prettiest of the group, but for back mountain roads, its the hands down winner

 

[SprNater]

had to go with the rx-7 just because i love mazda so much.(bowdown)
second would have been NSX though

 

[Powerslave]

man the gtr 4whd 400tq 500hp

 

[redrims]

NSX R, for mountain twisties. GTR for anything else.

 

[flipstylex]

definitely the GTR, then the nsx, then the rx-7 .... i don't think that it's fair to compare the nsx and the rx-7 to the gtr(hence more bhp)..if anything it should have been the regular r34 with 310 bhpor 276 bhp ....

here would be my choices as far as even comparison

gt-3, sti, evo, nsx, rx7, supra, 350z, mazdaspeed 3

 

[CantCMe]

Nsx...

 

[dmitrik4]

the NSX, proably. the GTR looks cool, but 3500+ lbs is a lot to whip around a mountain road, AWD or not.
