J-San I agree with you the NSX-R is a much better handling car than the NSX with it’s lower weight and track tuned suspension. I wasn’t referring to Gan-san’s comments comparing the CGT to the NSX-R.

My comments or question really was about the standard NSX because when the NSX came out in the early 90’s magazine articles seemed to indicate that it was much better handling a car than either the 964 Turbo or the Ferrari 348. Even after the 993 and 355 came out many people still felt the NSX was the better handling car, and well I just don’t see it.

The NSX appears way to soft especially up front, has too much roll and the low polar moment of inertia combined with the soft suspension and heavy steering means that once the rear starts to break lose it is difficult to catch the slide. In short I am not really that impressed with the standard NSX but was wondering what others thought of it. To me the NSX was over hyped and never the treat that the automotive press made it out to be for either Porsche or Ferrari.

Really interesting about the GT3 CS. I can’t wait to hear more st-anger. So was the balance and turn in as good as the mid engined CGT? Love the look of the RS spoiler on a non white car. I really prefer the RS spoiler to any of the other versions of GT3 spoilers that Porsche has put on the 996 GT3. I keep hoping that Porsche will put that spoiler on the 997 GT3 but based on spy photos it doesn’t look like I will get my wish.

Really interested in the car as the RS isn’t available in the U.S. and it would be nice to know that there are other alternatives. What suspension pieces do you get for that kind of money and how is it different than the standard GT3 suspension? Did you prefer the car to the GT3 RS? I would guess so since it handled as well as a CGT? Last question did you drive the CS on the street and if so how did the car perform on street roads? I can’t imagine a 911 set up to handle as well as a CGT would handle the imperfections of a normal road.
