Let's face it, that was a stupid video. Good intentions, bad experiences with the bimmerforums, or a speech impediment notwithstanding, it was a stupid video by any criteria. And stupid videos are flamebait. So if you post bad videos and say ridiculous things on a regular basis (as even the OP admits), there will be reaction.
Why stupid? Leaving aside the shaky handheld, bad commentary, and key chime, what defines a good analysis of interior quality? Rapping on BOTH doors to prove they are not leather, as if one would be different than the other? Oh, and he went back to rap on the first door to really drive the point home. Or an evaluation of ergonomics, fit, finish, visibility, seat comfort, etc? For example, Twister made no mention of the fact the yellow exterior paint of the car was visible through the huge gap at the lower edge of the passenger door.
In the end, it IS apples and oranges. The Acura was a "gentleman's sportscar" intended for those with money to look cool on a date or something. Although there are always some who rework everything, and there are plenty of fast and oft-tracked NSX's, that is not the norm as it is for the Viper. So of course it has a plush, all-leather interior. And that drives home the point that the video is useless at its most basic level, the one of necessity.
Finally, the comments about speech impediment and hearing issues: yeah nothing will cut through
like revelation of a disability. Sorry for that. But that really is a minor part of the video as a whole, and it does nothing to justify the mindset of the post.

Damn I haven't been on the site for a few days. All this over a video. Twister is a good dude. Whether you agree with him or not, he is a true car nut like the rest of us. Hell, while in Hawaii, he let me drive both of those cars to see how I liked them. We are all big boys. We can give and take some ribbing, but the are limits to everything. Both cars look great, but the Viper is a beast.
Anyone who stops by is more than welcome..thats what insurance is for...Thanks Dragon rider...can you imagine some of these guys were saying I wasnt a loyal viper guy.....Sometimes all I think about is vipers..Video was crappy but like i said it was just made to prove a point over on nsx prime to a cheese wedge driveing vette owner..Figured id post it here just to get thoughts..
Then all hell broke loose...LOL
Then all hell broke loose...LOL
BTW..I should add that Dragon rider said my srt10 was about as fast as his..Not saying mine could run 11.4's or anything too..But just sayin..he he he..That was the best compliment ever..LOL
Cant wait till se see a bolt on car in the 10's with or without drag radials..

Ok i guess its time for my say in this thread. Twister dont get to offended by this. Bottom line yes the nsx has more leather. And yes the viper has more of a fighter jet feel it was made that way on purpose. I like the look of both cars. But i would take the viper over any car in the world. No offense but my 05 audi has a nicer interior then both the cars but then again thats just an opinion. I kept laughing everytime you said the word leather though. And it might be time to change to batteries in the hearing aids because the viper sounds alot better then the nsx. The nsx sounds pretty ricerish. But then again i am a huge honda hater. I watch every video you post but i dont always comment. Some are pointless and some are interesting. So as long as it makes you happy thats all that matters.

Just wondering why, since you choose to use the resources of the club, have asked technical questions from members of the club, like to cause controversy on the site, have over 1600 postings on the site of the club, a purported Viper owner and lover, why you aren't a supporting paying member of the Viper club?

That was my only complaint also...
Maybe you should have just shown the video to the Corvette guys who were looking for them to be compared?
Sell your video camera, buy the filters. We all win.
