The NSX features a Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) setup, which is about as complicated as its name suggests.
A mid-mounted, twin-turbocharged V6 is teamed with a nine-speed dual-clutch transmission and three electric motors. One motor is mounted between the engine and transmission to help drive the rear wheels, while the other two drive the front wheels, providing torque vectoring for sharper handling.
Acura emphasizes the instant response of the electric motors, but isn’t talking specific power output yet. The best estimate we could find was around 550 horsepower, which isn’t too shabby.

I'll take one in black. Wonder if it'll beat the GTR on Nuremberg, I remember Honda stating that was their goal with the new NSX.

Or I'd settle for the still oh so sexy old model.

Ford GT is better. It's impressive that they both use V6s though. Would love to see what a V8 option would be like.

I remember the Honda NSx in gran tusimo and loved how it looked, but the handling was very hard, like the Dodge Viper, so I selected the Mitsubishi GT3000, the handling was great and very fast too :)

Looks better =/= is better.
Besides this opinion of yours is subjective, not objective. Hence the opinion would be invalid if we were to start a discussion about it.

My question is: is it faster?

Even if it was slower i would prefer the Ford. I also think you have to have a subjective opinion with cars. It's your personal taste. Still both nice cars though. NSX wins on the interior though.

Where did you get that from?
I just asked if it was faster or not. I never said I liked fast cars. Maybe I'm looking for something slower?
