The GTR has been on the market so long it went from being too ‘digital’ feeling in 2007 to being too ‘analog’ feeling in 2021. A sign of the times we’re in.
@@totowolffstable4044 idk the whole car used to cost around a base model vette not with all the hype Nissan got greedy and are now charging 100k plus another 80k for the nismo it's crazy.
im a HONDA fan for life, best engineers by far.. i think its HONDA that doesnt get the recognition it deserves.. NSX for me, I wish was more agreesive looking and the sound needs to be louder.. id have to put a body kit and exhaust on it.. I think what Honda went for is a everyday car.. which toned it down alot, to make it more practical and accessible. but its a supercar, they shouldve went crazy on it.. the old NSX i might actually prefer.
The GT-R is like Godzilla isn't it??? not just in performance and it's characteristics but also just like how Godzilla comes out of it's slumber once in a decade terrorises everything, eats everything in it's path and then goes back. Nissan brings out a new GT-R once in decade which then mauls and embarrasses every supercar in the market then just goes back to sleep.... Can't wait to see what the R36 will do....
@@HarryG98 compare it to the cars when it came out. It was supposed to maul those cars and it did. Then like the guy above said, it went back to its slumber.
But that's the thing, compared to all the cars that were out when these launched back in '07, it was rapid. It took a few years for supercars to catch it up & even then they couldn't get near for the RRP. I'd hope a car that came out 13 years later would be quicker than it... The R36 will be epic, providing the bean counters at Nissan allow it to be made...
But the problem is we dont live in the past anymore mate. Im not saying GTR is not good but it doesnt test the stand of time. I really expect Nissan to release GTR every year like Porsche, Audi, BMW, Mercs to see how it compared to current cars because fanboy will either say GTR is the fastest or GTR is a decade old as an excuse.
The R35 was such a beast when it came out and it is holding on really well, both in design and performance. Plus it was the car that snapped Jeremy Clarksons neck!
but its 10+ years old at this point, Nissan needs to release a new model. Competition has moved up years away, the only thing that has moved up in gtr is its price. Youre basically paying double the price now for the same styling this car had in 2007. Its still a very good car non the less, but so many better cars are on the market for the price rn. Just to name a few..Porsche 911, Audi R8, Jaguar F type, Ferrari Portofino etc. They might not match the performance in some variants but the techonology and the looks are way more modern. If Nissan released a brand new GTR model with 600+ hp as standard that would be a hotcake seller. 2:18 even at just the basic face comparisment GTR looks so old compared to Acura
Crazy how when the GTR came out they said it was like a video game and “easy.” Now it’s a real work out because you need to wrestle it. Says something about the cars the GTR was being tested against when it came out.

Because the dash system was designed by practically the same people. On the infotainment screen alone you were able to track your lap times and g force around turns and all sorts of things that weren’t common at the time on a infotainment center. It was ahead of its time at the time it came out, it’s just been so long now and they haven’t upgraded it at all.

Brake size does not determine distance, it all comes down to how they are tuned, a 100mm disk, could probably stop a car just as fast as a 400mm one... The size just adds thermal mass, so you have less brake fade while racing. That's it.
@@Pete292323 Exactly. It's all down to maximizing the stopping power you get out of the tires. The NSX probably has more sophisticated ABS, or maybe just better tires.
@@Pete292323 really. i thought the diameter would have a bearing on it? so your saying basically cars have bigger discs to just to dissapate the heat better ?
I live in America and actually own a GTR, 2010 GTR and picked it up used for $56,500 with 30K miles and I absolutely love it. Can honestly say the maintenance on it is very affordable besides brake jobs lol. That job would be way cheaper if you go steel brakes but I still use the carbon ceramics. And most of the engine based parts are shared with the Altima. Car insurance is also awesome because since it's a nissan it's not classified as an Exotic or supercar in the insurance companies database.
I am amazed at the consistent content and quality from this team. Drag races, comparisons, group tests, older car reviews, new car reviews….incredible.
This has to be the first time I've heard the GTR be compared to looking like "an angry fish". But then again I don't think I've ever seen an angry fish.
Yes you could have lots of other cars but to me why would you. Dont really see how a Hybrid Super car with some of the best technology is overpriced when hyper cars 5 - 8 times price arent really much better, your certainly not going to get more out of them on every day roads also Honda are well known for reliability. would sooner stand out with something more exclusive than ya everyday seen Porsche. Seen one NSX so far and guy has one on a forum for video games, he loves his. How many of the other Super cars have had issues of setting on fire, dont see many honda do that. Quality cars
@@slicksavage9839 If you can buy an NSX, Im sure you can buy a few dozen other super cars. No one buying a six figure car is owning only one six figure car. They usually have at minimum a half dozen cars. So what is your point?
This takes me back over 30 year when I had this debate with a friend over the original NSX and the R-32 GT-R. “Which would be the best WINTER supercar?” The Nissan has AWD but the Acura had an aluminium body so it wouldn’t rust, plus decent snow grip with its rear-heavy RWD. I shall await your winter side-by-side comparo for the final answer. Thanks!
It’s has been slightly underwhelming when it comes to raves, sales, reviews. Just kinda like the car world has swept it under the rug and tried to forget about it.
@@Deuuuce bro it’s 0 to 60 is always underrated. it does it normally in 3.1 but most reviewers have gotten 2.7/2.9. it’s SH-AWD system is top 10 and it’s speaker system is definitely the best out there still and it’s daily drivable due to its very comfortable suspension. well comfortable for a super car. and it looks so good (subjective but still)
This "new" NSX is just an Audi R8 with a Honda badge. Was quite surprised when he referred to the NSX as digital and the GTR as analogue as well. Notwithstanding referring to the GTR as analogue of course , it really should be the other way around, as the much beloved original 90's NSX was known for being forgiving and yet very analogue car to drive. When Mat said you needed big balls to handle the GTR, that pretty much vindicated my belief. The NSX, like the Audis are hairdresser cars. The GTR on the other hand, is its own proper car, with its own distinct Japanese styling that sets it apart from every other car in the world, because no other car series does impression of an angry, charging samurai.
@@fredsas12 you failed to understand the nsx as a "new supercar xperiment" the nsx is in fact more advanced than the gtr, the only other cars that are like is the p1, 918, laferrai with their hybrid technology.
@@ii_dynasty I absolutely understand the NSWX, never said it wasn't a bad super car. Just saying its a very far departure from what the original NSX represented. The OG NSX just like the early GTRs were distinct. The current NSX is just a copy and paste job from mainly the Audi. Unfortunately this "copy and pasting" is highly representative of most super cars today, which ironically makes the GTR stand out even more.
It's nice to know that Honda can still make an engine rev nicely even if it's turbocharged and doesn't have VTEC on the intake. Although 7,500 rpm is a little low in a Honda for my taste...
compared to other supercars/exotics its among the slowest. Not enough power for its weight, Its quick but not fast, especially the 60-130 time of around 8.5s which is well behind other cars in its class. That and the cheap interior. All that for its asking price is way too much. But a used one is a great deal just off its looks and rarity alone lol, I'm actually considering a 2017.
@@gevinduxrs2 yup your opinion don't matter to me either. Just because in your opinion you like something better doesn't mean it is. For you you like it better that's fair enough. But just as the launch control tech. The color was put out there by nissan. Acura bit off and created a variant. Lets not discount that.
Check the toggle switch inside the glove box. The NSX door handles should automatically pop out when the key fob is in wireless proximity or the unlock button Is pressed on the fob. Also the NSX engine is hand build in the USA, not Japan, in Ohio. The crankcase and heads are cast and machined in the UK by cosworth before shipped to Ohio for assembly.
410mm front rotors aka 16 god damn inches is pretty insane considering those rotors are the same size or bigger than a majority of car's wheels back in the 90's.
He ran over a 12 second quarter mile time...He is either the biggest tool to ever test drive a car or he did it on purpose. There are more than a few things wrong with his knowledge and results in this video. I have no problem with what anyone likes or prefers but I was face palming this video. I like both cars but I actually own the NSX and disagree with some of his results. To each their own I guess.
I love how Matt presents the "sell your car" feature like he's presenting it for the first time, boy we've been watching you pitch that for like 10 videos
You know how things change, in 2008 when the GTR came out, it was the easiest and most numb car experience, but today it’s the most engaging. Cars have gotten to comfortable.
The aftermarket for the GT-R is basically unbeatable...sky is the limit. That's why I got a GT-R over a Porsche, NSX, C8, etc etc. And I love it!! Mine is around 800whp now and it is BALLISTICLY fast. And it's just got bolt-ons!! 😁
The nsx is better than a C8... Even C8 owners who drove an nsx afterwards said its a better handling and performing car. Only advantage C8 has is the price, but you get cheaper materials and a worse handling car.
@@alexc1926 if the NSX was more of an “analog” car without all the electric stuff and with an aggressive pricing like the C8, I honestly believe it would’ve been well received. Maybe even sell a shit ton of em as well. Honda missed it by pricing it too high.
@@ananthu7179 NSX price is too high?? They were never cheap, old gen NSX base price is more than 100k in today's money It seems we only value things after we lost it
The current GTR is a beast and I would love to get one but I think the time has come and Nissan needs to make a new GT-R and put a modern gearbox in it. Only 6 gears in a supercar level sport car is not enough.
@@vatsalverma999 with 2 engine , gasoline engine and electric motor engine, off course nsx have more speed. But i think gtr have more fun than nsx. Just my opinion.
Do y'all remember when the r35 first came out? Everyone was saying how electronic it was, like playing a video game. Man how things changed! I know they have been iterating on the gtr for a while now, but I suppose they landscape for sports cars have changed as well.
I wonder if the Honda NSX warning light at 13:25 is maybe due to the type of fuel used i.e. 95RON instead of 98RON and above therefore meaning the car CPU backed the acceleration off.
Looked like something like that was happening with that fuelpump warning light flashing up. Would explain the poor times and makes the comparision irrelevant.
@@silv3rArrow As they seem to have done, Like Matt pointed out and as has been demonstrated many times that the NSX is capable of much better times. Low 11's is quite normal and I think some stock ones have clocked high 10's.
I really love and miss the stick lever hand brake like the one on the GT-R. The modern button and flick switch parking brakes just don't cut it for me.
If you look closely, on his second run it cuts to the dash and there is a fuel warning. Weird because the fuel gauge to the right implies there should be 3/4 tank. Maybe bad gas/insufficient octane and that hiccup is maybe knock protection?
@@vatsalverma999 Yeah but what did they use to measure that time (older video). In this video they were using Draggy - which is exact and unforgiving since it uses GPS.
@@aramzyf closer than you may think. Both say it as it is and don’t mind upsetting a manufacturer by telling us how bad something is. Humour as well as spot in advice
That’s exactly my point. It’s the American idea of a muscle car but done right. The engine isn’t overly massive, the components aren’t 50 years old, every part is made to work properly with each other, and it doesn’t rattle itself loose after a few months. Just old school mechanical charm and driving enjoyment. I’ll take a non-Nismo, thanks.
10yrs of abstinence, what do you expect? Also by the time it launched many other brands already released their version of the hybrid super car concept a few years earlier.
I really enjoy watching you do what you do. You are talented and have a perfect balance between facts and humor. And when there only are car brands you CAN pronounce in the video, it is a pure joy to see you work! The Porsche-videos is difficult to see though, but part from that... ...keep it up! =)

This has to be the first time I've heard the GTR be compared to looking like "an angry fish". But then again I don't think I've ever seen an angry fish.
Only when they get caught 😁
Love the NSX, really stunning attractive design inside and out. I wish there were more out and about.
Absolutely shit inside im sorry
Overpriced , and as much as I love the NSX.. You can have a plethora of other cars for that price.
Yes you could have lots of other cars but to me why would you. Dont really see how a Hybrid Super car with some of the best technology is overpriced when hyper cars 5 - 8 times price arent really much better, your certainly not going to get more out of them on every day roads also Honda are well known for reliability. would sooner stand out with something more exclusive than ya everyday seen Porsche. Seen one NSX so far and guy has one on a forum for video games, he loves his. How many of the other Super cars have had issues of setting on fire, dont see many honda do that. Quality cars
i dont. they are all mine, all HONDAS are mine.
@@slicksavage9839 If you can buy an NSX, Im sure you can buy a few dozen other super cars. No one buying a six figure car is owning only one six figure car. They usually have at minimum a half dozen cars. So what is your point?
Thank you for this review. I was doubting between these two but finally, I will get the GT-R Nismo on my Forza Garage
This takes me back over 30 year when I had this debate with a friend over the original NSX and the R-32 GT-R. “Which would be the best WINTER supercar?” The Nissan has AWD but the Acura had an aluminium body so it wouldn’t rust, plus decent snow grip with its rear-heavy RWD.
I shall await your winter side-by-side comparo for the final answer. Thanks!
I love that the GTR is “old-school analog”. When it came out it was the most digital/technical car ever built.
As much as I love it it’s a seriously outdated car. It’s hardly been upgraded since it came out.
@@theblev2882 You are outdated
Like in 15 years still can’t update the digital analog 🤦🏾♂️to current model cars
@@theblev2882 Not at all. Sorry but that comment just show how little you know about the GT-R.
@@SSJ4Absolute It's called "not being a fan girl".
I'm still giving the nsx hope
nsx is the most underrated car ever...
And no one buys it lmao 😂
@@Dom21221 rather buy a ferrari than a honda
It’s has been slightly underwhelming when it comes to raves, sales, reviews. Just kinda like the car world has swept it under the rug and tried to forget about it.
Because it is heavier and slower than more desirable competitors?
@@Deuuuce bro it’s 0 to 60 is always underrated. it does it normally in 3.1 but most reviewers have gotten 2.7/2.9. it’s SH-AWD system is top 10 and it’s speaker system is definitely the best out there still and it’s daily drivable due to its very comfortable suspension. well comfortable for a super car. and it looks so good (subjective but still)
The best of this video wasn’t cars but the lovely sunny day!
GT-R is analog now? Damn I'm getting old
What I was thinking
It’s been around since 2007.....lol
I am 17 and I feel the same
The R35 is 13 - 14 years old at this point
The fact that everyone comments are about the gtr is why the nsx is underrated.
I just like simplicity.
This "new" NSX is just an Audi R8 with a Honda badge. Was quite surprised when he referred to the NSX as digital and the GTR as analogue as well. Notwithstanding referring to the GTR as analogue of course , it really should be the other way around, as the much beloved original 90's NSX was known for being forgiving and yet very analogue car to drive. When Mat said you needed big balls to handle the GTR, that pretty much vindicated my belief. The NSX, like the Audis are hairdresser cars. The GTR on the other hand, is its own proper car, with its own distinct Japanese styling that sets it apart from every other car in the world, because no other car series does impression of an angry, charging samurai.
@@fredsas12 you failed to understand the nsx as a "new supercar xperiment" the nsx is in fact more advanced than the gtr, the only other cars that are like is the p1, 918, laferrai with their hybrid technology.
@@ii_dynasty I absolutely understand the NSWX, never said it wasn't a bad super car. Just saying its a very far departure from what the original NSX represented. The OG NSX just like the early GTRs were distinct. The current NSX is just a copy and paste job from mainly the Audi. Unfortunately this "copy and pasting" is highly representative of most super cars today, which ironically makes the GTR stand out even more.
@@fredsas12 no you still fail to understand the concept of which it name stands for.
Nearly 14 years later and the GT-R is still relevant. Goes to show how advanced the GT-R was when it was originally designed.
It's nice to know that Honda can still make an engine rev nicely even if it's turbocharged and doesn't have VTEC on the intake. Although 7,500 rpm is a little low in a Honda for my taste...
Can’t believe a GTR is being classed as analog, didn’t think I’d see the day tbh
ya. it was basically as digital as a 911 today back when it came out.
true. i remember a review about 10 years ago complaining about how the GT-R feels like you're in a video game.
The cameraman will always be the fastest on earth !
Bet they use a Tesla for the camera car. Instant torque and no noise to interrupt the other cars sounds.
@@aussie2uGA I doubt it
Plaid baby!
@Car Compilation 😭😱
I remember when the GTR fist came out, all the reviewers said the GTR felt too digital 😂
The GT-R's a decade older so... yeah, it's going to look and feel a decade older.
Wowww CarWOWWW is uploading the best videos of my most favorite cars these days... thanks Matt
I think the NSX is super super underrated
Agreed, I would take the NSX any day over the Nismo. The NSX is super rare and looks exotic
Nismo looks like a SUV next to the nsx😂. I'd take the Acura over a nissan anyday
compared to other supercars/exotics its among the slowest. Not enough power for its weight, Its quick but not fast, especially the 60-130 time of around 8.5s which is well behind other cars in its class. That and the cheap interior. All that for its asking price is way too much. But a used one is a great deal just off its looks and rarity alone lol, I'm actually considering a 2017.
@@dasun2960 it’s just Honda
Damn that paint work on the NSX is just mind blowing 😍
Wonder where they got that from. Lol 2017 gtr blazemetallic
@@silverse02 NSX'S colour is slightly better
@@gevinduxrs2 I disagree. We got gold flakes...
@@silverse02 that's your opinion I really don't care. Here the NSX is way better than the GTR (compared with colour).
@@gevinduxrs2 yup your opinion don't matter to me either. Just because in your opinion you like something better doesn't mean it is. For you you like it better that's fair enough. But just as the launch control tech. The color was put out there by nissan. Acura bit off and created a variant. Lets not discount that.
Check the toggle switch inside the glove box. The NSX door handles should automatically pop out when the key fob is in wireless proximity or the unlock button Is pressed on the fob.
Also the NSX engine is hand build in the USA, not Japan, in Ohio. The crankcase and heads are cast and machined in the UK by cosworth before shipped to Ohio for assembly.
15:00 then I think you should mention NSX's 10.8 time against AMG GTR
yeah he should
What about 10.8 sec by NSX in the video th-cam.com/video/b3lPbVTsXc8/w-d-xo.html . It's a carwow video. In this too.
Exactly, why was he saying that 11.2 was the best he ever ran in the NSX when he ran 10.8 more than once? Doesn’t make any sense
Yeah no kidding.
@@drivescene6747 that was a euro specs NSX. Those are much lighter. Thats why it dosent rlly count
410mm front rotors aka 16 god damn inches is pretty insane considering those rotors are the same size or bigger than a majority of car's wheels back in the 90's.
Not only 90s,in india we get 15,13,or mostly 18
I like how the video makes no mention of them driving an NSX to a 1/4 in 10.9s in other videos.
He ran over a 12 second quarter mile time...He is either the biggest tool to ever test drive a car or he did it on purpose. There are more than a few things wrong with his knowledge and results in this video. I have no problem with what anyone likes or prefers but I was face palming this video. I like both cars but I actually own the NSX and disagree with some of his results. To each their own I guess.
Can't help it but I think that GTR looks ginormous when Mat compares the car's profiles😁
I'd take the NSX off looks alone... the far superior ride quality as well.
Matt with the inuendos--STRONG in this one! LOL
You mean menudos
Hey mate
U go any innuendos in ur end o?
Would ya like sum?
7:45 "you can drive this quick with little teeny balls" 😂😂
you know you're old when an R35 is considered old car :)
I love how Matt presents the "sell your car" feature like he's presenting it for the first time, boy we've been watching you pitch that for like 10 videos
I never thought I'd hear anyone call the GTR the "analog " one. Lol
You know how things change, in 2008 when the GTR came out, it was the easiest and most numb car experience, but today it’s the most engaging. Cars have gotten to comfortable.
The aftermarket for the GT-R is basically unbeatable...sky is the limit. That's why I got a GT-R over a Porsche, NSX, C8, etc etc. And I love it!! Mine is around 800whp now and it is BALLISTICLY fast. And it's just got bolt-ons!! 😁
The NSX could've been what the C8 or Emira is. That's what I think every time I see one.
The nsx is better than a C8... Even C8 owners who drove an nsx afterwards said its a better handling and performing car. Only advantage C8 has is the price, but you get cheaper materials and a worse handling car.
@@alexc1926 if the NSX was more of an “analog” car without all the electric stuff and with an aggressive pricing like the C8, I honestly believe it would’ve been well received. Maybe even sell a shit ton of em as well. Honda missed it by pricing it too high.
Why did I think you were all on about the Spyker C8
@@alexc1926 How do you know this?
@@ananthu7179 NSX price is too high??
They were never cheap, old gen NSX base price is more than 100k in today's money
It seems we only value things after we lost it
15:49 I like how low the speedo dial is when doing 74mph lol.
The current GTR is a beast and I would love to get one but I think the time has come and Nissan needs to make a new GT-R and put a modern gearbox in it. Only 6 gears in a supercar level sport car is not enough.
I've owned the r35 a few yeard and it never delivered the stats but it was always fun to drive

@@vatsalverma999 with 2 engine , gasoline engine and electric motor engine, off course nsx have more speed. But i think gtr have more fun than nsx. Just my opinion.
I'd like to see you do a Lexus LC500 coupe fully optioned versus whatever GT car rival you feel is the closest competitor.
Do y'all remember when the r35 first came out? Everyone was saying how electronic it was, like playing a video game. Man how things changed! I know they have been iterating on the gtr for a while now, but I suppose they landscape for sports cars have changed as well.
m.th-cam.com/video/R5GBbwSyU9o/w-d-xo.html 2:45
Probably why it is called "analog"
I wonder if the Honda NSX warning light at 13:25 is maybe due to the type of fuel used i.e. 95RON instead of 98RON and above therefore meaning the car CPU backed the acceleration off.
The ECU knows the type of fueld being injected and adjusts timmings accordingly, doubt it would be that.
Looked like something like that was happening with that fuelpump warning light flashing up. Would explain the poor times and makes the comparision irrelevant.
@@skarpheinnsmundsson9741 indeed, 0-60 times could very well have been affected even without the error showing up
@@silv3rArrow As they seem to have done, Like Matt pointed out and as has been demonstrated many times that the NSX is capable of much better times. Low 11's is quite normal and I think some stock ones have clocked high 10's.
Wasn't even up to twmp either
13:40 Did mat just forget that when he raced the nsx vs the gtr a long time ago.... nsx had done 1/4 mile in 10.8 sec?
probably due to the difference in tire usage
It’s because that was a euro spec version and those are much lighter
world record NSX did 10.55 wit jus a jb4 and downpipes or a exhaust, look it up on yt, but you can do a 10.7 on a c8 wit jus slicks

Because he didn’t get near those results in his tests.

Nsx was low on fuel and the gtr nismo is slower in a straight line than normal gtrs
That was a euro spec NSX dummy, thats why it was a 10.8. They are much lighter

I hear you fam 😂 electronic parking brake switch is hella weak but most the new cars have them now
You guys keep doing this. These cars were meant to be in circuit track. This drag race competitions are part of the story, no the whole story.
Didn't honda do a 10.8 secs in one of carwow's drag races?

If you look closely, on his second run it cuts to the dash and there is a fuel warning. Weird because the fuel gauge to the right implies there should be 3/4 tank. Maybe bad gas/insufficient octane and that hiccup is maybe knock protection?
@@LapoftheWorld So correct. I saw it too and noticed the discrepancy
@@vatsalverma999 Yeah but what did they use to measure that time (older video). In this video they were using Draggy - which is exact and unforgiving since it uses GPS.

I’d love to have the GT-R as my daily. It’s the muscle car done right.
The gtr drives nothing like a muscle car
That’s exactly my point. It’s the American idea of a muscle car but done right. The engine isn’t overly massive, the components aren’t 50 years old, every part is made to work properly with each other, and it doesn’t rattle itself loose after a few months. Just old school mechanical charm and driving enjoyment. I’ll take a non-Nismo, thanks.
@@hesamiar cause it's not a muscle car?
Bru muscle cars are meant to be big, beefy, inconvenient, gas guzzlers.
@@ksuperhero1 exactly. The gtr exhaust yells at you. A muscle car roars. Mustang cobra exhaust are the definition of American muscle.

“you can put three fingers in each pipe” 😂😂😂
I love the nsx, the design and everything, just a bit disappointing at launch and people don't really like it as much as a gtr but i still love it
10yrs of abstinence, what do you expect? Also by the time it launched many other brands already released their version of the hybrid super car concept a few years earlier.
