			I see Honda is keeping to tradition in the design of the new NSX, it will be severely under powered when compared to the cars it's in direct competition with.

			Shoot, they only added 100hp to an iconic car that's going to be way heavier? Well, as long as it comes in manual.Posted via RS Mobile |   |   |   |      |  01-03-2012, 09:38 PM | #9 |   | My homepage has been set to RS

			Honda, please prove us wrong and prove the world wrong and make me regret getting an M3. Fingers crossed, toes crossed.

yea I hear ya bro, but so was the original NSX and it still killed or at least kept up with most exotics on the track....   still though the opinion on the original NSX is still somewhat split for a lot of people... first one is it's underpowered and too expensive, the second opinion was so what it's a masterpiece that performs like one... 
both opinions were valid because both are true...  
I'm pretty sure as many of you probably are too, that this new NSX isn't something that Honda plans on having surpass the last NSX the way the new GTR did the last R34 variant.... 
which is too bad, bring out such an iconic and legendary masterpiece only to have it not live up to it's predecessor...  shit move from Honda in my opinion

 |  In every thread that involves a Honda you flood it with your negative opinions..  
They don't need to impress everyone, the production run is set to be very limited, I'm certain many people who traditionally would consider Lotuses or certain Porsches will now also be considering an NSX. GT-R buyers as well, because although it has a lower top speed, it's still fast and is a mid engine convertible.

			Interesting. Can't wait to see some more photos and updates of the new NSX. I still prefer the NA2 NSX-R    
Thanks for the link!
