The NSX and 911 GTS might not be obvious foes, so we expected the unexpected—and still came away somewhat surprised.
is supposed to be the Goldilocks of the 911 set: It's middle of the pack in terms of the 911 range, but sits right in the sweet spot. It's a hard proposition to measure. If you drive other Porsche models, the GTS trim marks the point where they become especially interesting. A, let's be honest, and although the Cayenne S is just OK, the Cayenne GTS is a great SUV. The same is essentially true for the Macan and Panamera.
What about the quarter mile, where the NSX's horsepower advantage should come into play? It loses there, too, by a tenth of a second, 11.2 to 11.1. The 911 GTS also travels faster than the Type S by the end of the quarter mile, 124.6 mph versus 124.1. If you've never heard it before, lots of pro drivers swear by the maxim,"A car's only as good as its brakes." This is worrying for the Acura, as there's something not so great about the feel of the NSX Type S' stoppers. It isn't the sort of thing you'll notice when jogging the car to your favorite Sunday morning car show, but we hope people buy cars like either of these because they enjoy driving cars hard.
I also wasn't entirely confident in the NSX's body control. As Evans said later,"It needs work. The car is stiff, but it gets bounced around too much over bumps, and you're constantly chasing it with steering or releasing the throttle. It's especially bad in big braking zones where the Type S starts walking around in the lane when it shouldn't. It's manageable, but it shouldn't have to be managed. Tie it down better, and the car could go noticeably quicker.
