Just bringing this one back up. 1997s with the 3.2 litre engines and 6 speeds are coming up sometime this year or next. Car and driver got 4.5 sec 0-60 and a quarter in the 13s. Car is amazing. 300 naturally aspirated horses! This thing with some Toda parts must just scream! If you could finance these it would be in my driveway as soon as it's available. What can I say i'm a Honda convert!
Cool little snippet from Wikipedia
Honda's breakthrough engineering in the NSX was a major contributor to the design of the McLaren F1 as mentioned in an interview with McLaren F1 designer Gordon Murray (translated from original Japanese into English).[21] "The moment I drove the NSX, all the benchmark cars—Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini—I had been using as references in the development of my car vanished from my mind. Of course the car we would create, the McLaren F1, needed to be faster than the NSX, but the NSX's ride quality and handling would become our new design target." The NSX was marketed as the first "Everyday Supercar" thanks in part to its ease of use, quality and reliability. Murray himself remained an NSX owner for 7 years.
