NSX on Speed channel

thats was pretty cool:tongue:
Pretty good review. I thought the guy could have DRIVEN the car a little more though. It looked like he didn't take it past 40 mph
Yes. He said he first engine was a 2 liter VTEC getting 270 HP
Good press is good press. Watch those used NSX prices go up another 5 dollars!
Where did this clown get his information???? 2.0L V6 later pushed out to 3.0L ???
Basically the same engine as an acura sedan??
12.4 quarter miles???

Yeah, definitely didn't have all his facts straight and the only "stock" NSX that I ever saw run a 12.4 1/4 mile was a Type S-Zero on Best Motoring. Since it was a press car, stock is a rather loose term.
Pretty cool regardless. Even after all these years it is still a car people lust after.
Don't cloud the issue with facts!

Sounds like a typical gas station stranger encounter.
When this happens I like to explain the Honda V6 is the exact V8 used in the Formula 1 Indy cars with the front two cylinders removed. So if anyone else hears that story from a random person, it started with me.

Yes, it was nice but it looked like they took out some facts from the wiki page, put some (slow) driving footage and got the engine size wrong.
RE: Two liters. Later he points out that later NSX's were beefed up to 3 liters. You NA2 guys better check your engine displacement.
One more goof: No stock NSX ever went 0-60 "in under five seconds", unless it was going down hill. But I learned one thing I didn't know. The NSX body was designed by Pininfarina? Or is that another goof?

I heard someone had a 2 liter NSX with two cylinders not working...lol This clip has been around for a while, I remember seeing post a while back.
Ugh Hulu is really starting to piss me off. Why can't I find this show on my Hulu plus at home? A ybody else have trouble finding stuff onhulu?
Thanks for the link! Always cool to see the NSX on the screen! Only I didn't care for the fog lights, they make the car look buck-toothy (no offense to the owner of the car). I also noticed that it has the 2002 rear valence.
Anyway, Honda commissioned Pininfarina to design the HP-X, which looks nothing like our production NSX.
The HP-X had a 2.0L engine, which is probably where the confusion came in.
The Mid 4 does have a striking resemblance to the NSX. Too bad Nissan never built it. Probably just as good, since it probably wouldn't have been reliable as the NSX.
Thanks for correcting my misinformation. I discovered a couple of sources that confirm your numbers.
