I guess what I meant was that for $90K, most of it's competitors have much
more power than the NSX's 290hp.  The Vette, heck even Camaros, Esprit V8,
911 Turbo, Viper, F355, Supra Turbo  all have over 300hp.  I really like
the NSX, I just think that it could be a more potent car for the money.
And unlike the rest of you, I'd trade my Scirocco for one *duck*  C'mon,
there's probably at least one of you that would  *duck harder*

Anyway, was the NSX you saw stock?

Jason, do you ever get beaten?  You car has a bad tranny and you're
stomping on all comers; are you THAT good? ;^)

I think Honda's turbo F1 motors were V6's but the later normally aspirated
ones were V10's.  Did the F1 engines have VTEC?  As a side note, the
Integra TypeR has a much higher specific output than the NSX:  195hp/1.8L
vs 290hp/3.2L

What happened to the mad bastard?
