Pretty much about what you'd expect. Skip to about 14 minutes if you wanna skip all the BS

Pretty sure I read a headline that the NSX won? Shocking. A new car is better than a car that has essentially remained unchanged since 2008.

Yuuup

I like that the GTR continues to be a baseline for most new cars today.

Tho, they still weren't completely blown away by the NSX either. Especially for the price you pay for one.

Good I like my supercars to be rear engine. They should throw a 911 turbo in the mix too

I think the GTR would be faster on the same tire.

I'd rather have a Mustang

I've been fortunate to drive both and while this is a great buff book comparison, in reality there's likely a $70,000 price difference between these cars so I doubt someone would be on the fence about buying one or the other. It's still damn impressive the "base" GT-R is that close to the NSX in performance considering the price deficit. The "Premium" trim they tested is the Touring version of the car, which it doesn't do very well as a touring car, an there will be a few more trims available of the 2017 that will be more performance-oriented, like the Nismo ($176k), which is closer to the NSX's price. That's the car they should have compared with the NSX. However, the NSX's hybrid wizardry also makes it be both a touring car and a supercar at the touch of a button. It drives as docile as an Accord sedan in comfort mode, and as aggressive as a supercar in Track mode. The GT-R is annoying harsh all the time relative to competitors and doesn't have that duality.
