new nsx-r

[nsxhk]

Just finished watching the May issue of Best Motoring and noticed something about the new nsx-r:

1. the new carbon rear wing is adjustable
2. the rotors are slotted
3. the wheel well gap is perfect IMO (unlike the gap in the old nsx-r or normal nsx)

Just my 2 cents

Henry.

Which gap is perfect on the NSX-R?
- side-to-side (correct-able with a wider track/offset -- wheels or spacers)
- top of wheel (correct-able with lowering springs)
The OE NSX gets both wrong IMO

I was referring to the top of wheel gap. Now that you mentioned the side to side gap, they're also okay too!

Did they do any 1/4 testing? Since the old S Zero ran a 12.4, wondering what kind of numbers the new R can muster at 100lb lighter.
BTW- Did they mention the new curb weight of the car? Wondering if it's lighter or heavier than the old one.

The reason why Honda keeps their wheels/tires inward is to minimize stone chips on the side of the car...
