I guess you gotta have 500 hp to be on his list.

To be techinical the NSX is an exotic not a supercar. When I hear supercar i think of CGT, F50 , Enzo etc. Exotic is hand made, looks fantastic, can go over 160mph unless its a classic. I was surprized mr leno over looked this, then again when you have 100 cars it doesn't really matter:biggrin:
If someone takes Mr Leno to the track and pushes the NSX to its limit I am sure he would agree.
Well, He said that is IS but "not really due low HP" ... I say, give him a TRUE "type-R" and i am sure he can rethink that idea, yes underpowered, but a true exotic never the less, not now in this MONSTER HP days .. but the nsx is more than proven a exotic.
OScar
Non of the cars listed in the first post have"
titanium connection rods
aluminum chassis
mid engine layout
and Vtec.
enuff said.
Guys, his exact words are "the NSX was a japanese supercar, but it didn't have the horsepower". He never said "it was not a supercar".
Also on a Ferrari 348 to NSX comparison, a 0-60 time of 5.2 seconds was recorded for the 1991 NSX.[7] This Ferrari level performance made the NSX known as the "First Japanese Exotic Super car".
Come on wtf it IS a supercar but NOT exotic, to be exotic its production should be in under 5K IMO.
What about a Ferrari Testarossa?
Jay Leno is a JACKASS
it resides in repair shops for ~6 months a year, therefore it's an exotic
The NSX was flawed in not having enough HP (even after 15 years on the market) and now the GTR is flawed by not having a clutch pedal and shifter. Let's see how long it'll take them to get a 6MT, if ever. Can't these Japanese engineers get anything right? :smile:
GTR is flawed by its non clutch pedal and shifter??????
o really, how about F430, Enzo, FXX. they were built with no CLUTCH pedal. even the track version gallardo is E gear!!!
Modena Challenge is non clutch pedal.
