580-2 and driving fun
Greetings, Huracan owners.
I wanted to get a little feedback from those who own the 580-2. I’ve done a fair amount of reading of the forums, but I’m afraid the conversations generally aren’t covering my specific point of curiosity.
Let me explain. I’m an NSX owner and I’ve had my car for twenty years. I still get a kick out of it after all this time, if you can believe that, and I’ll tell you why I love the car: it rotates. And I really mean it; the car pivots, loves to turn, and I frankly look forward to every U-turn, switchback, and sweeper. It’s just so easy and so much fun to toss the car.
As you might imagine, I was looking forward to the new NSX when Honda finally got around to building it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear that the new car is the car for me. If I believe the reviews – and I don’t know why I wouldn’t because they are all unanimous on this point – the new car simply doesn’t rotate like the old one. It’s not even close. All that technology keeps you from tossing the car around and, frankly, it all seems so antiseptic to me.
Now, finally, why I’m here now. I got so keyed up about the new NSX that I made the emotional leap and the financial decision to take the plunge. Yet here I sit looking at a car that I don’t want.
The RWD Gallardos always had a place in my heart and I love the Huracan. And now that there is a RWD variant, it’s really speaking to me.
I’d love to hear some feedback on the 580-2, specifically on how you find the driving experience – do you find the car tossable? Do the electronics stay out of the way until you’re about to get in over your head? Is it more fun to drive than the 610, if you’ve driven both?
And finally, just out of curiosity, is there someone out there who owns both a 580-2 and an NSX by chance?
Thanks,
Deckard
