I hope it's a 9000 rpm V8 screamer.

Didn't seem underpowered when it drove 7.50 on Nurburgring.
I guess Evo is underpowered too then since it has less horsepower and more weight

Not everyone races. (If thats what you're implying)

Still one of the best cars ever made. Honda knows what they're doing.

It's a good car, but not worth 75K+, IMHO.

It's the best sports car ever built!! It's too bad they never put a blower on the engine though. I bet that six had a lot of untapped potential. That said, he wants to go and tinker with an engine that just cost them $80k?

I love the NSX. I also like the Ford GT but due to many problem from cutting cost the Ford GT is crap from electrical problems to burning oil, and suspention arm breaking apart! What i'm trying to say is that the NSX is a super car in it's own way. I had seen on nsxprime that someone actually had 342,000+ miles on the orginal motor His was a 91 so I guess titanium rods with 270hp combo will last 4 ever

It's actually a great handling car to do 7mins and 50secs on Nurburgring since I recalled the Evo IX MR has done it in the low 8 min range. So, I'm sure the new one would be high performance.

Yeah, Jeremy Clarkson returned his GT because it was Fix Or Repair Daily... too sad for an expensive car like that.
Evo IX I've seen a video of did high 8s on that track. I was expeciting a lot more from it. Even '92 NSX was faster by more than half a minute. Tells you enough about how good NSXs are. Unfortunately never got a chance to drive one, but everyone that did said it really is a supercar. They just aren't made to go strait line so in the eye of an average american - it sucks

If they only lowered the price to about 40-45k, it would be more affordable. Thats all the more I'd pay for it.. TOPS. More like 35k. It is a very nice car though. Well engineered and built. I love the way they look when I pass one in the opposite direction on the highway. I've seen a red one, and yellow one.
