AutoEuphoria said:Like I said, though, this wasn't meant to be a car that everyone likes - it's just a clever way for Honda to be able to make some changes to their JGTC cars. Their JGTC cars have to be based on a production model, and they wanted to make some changes so they had to make that production model to base it off of. They made the bare minimum, and priced them really high. All 5 are spoken for, and it'd be a miracle if you saw one outside on the streets anyway. It's kind of like the Maserati MC12 story...Maserati wanted a car on the GT circuit, but they had to design and build a "street" version before they could put one on the track. Hence the MC12 program, where only 25 street cars were built so they could make the MC12 GT.

How can you possibly compare a MC12 600+ HP monster to a NSX-R with ugly body panels and a pathetic 290HP engine for $500,000!
AutoEuphoria said:And yes, a 600+ HP MR Honda Supercar would be amazing to see, but that would take a hell of a lot more time to engineer and produce than just a few different body panels.
NetViper said:I don't see why they could not have put a detuned version of the JFTC turbo C30 in the NSX-R GT. Shouldn't take really any more time or very little.

I think the NSX-R GT is gorgous...

Gold, where's that avatar I made for you? I spent extra time making it right for you, as you asked, and you still haven't used it.
