The NSX wasn't designed to be the best.

Mogami, found this in the March 2012 issue of Road & Track:
”Our sources in Japan say that the future NSX will be powered by a 310 HP 3.5L V6 gas engine and two electric motors
good for an additional 100HP, for a total of 410 HP...it’s rumored to hit 60 in 3.0 sec.”

There’s the SOHC J35 and RLX setup you were referring to (388HP reality vs a 410HP rumor back then)...

Well they basically hit their 0-60 target.

Love the blue and the CF spoiler even more..... Not wild about the black top. Don't like the red trim on the front splitter, makes it look like the batmobile......

T and R look great!

I saw my first NC1 NSX the other day (not very many of them here in Hokkaido, Japan) selling as a used car outside a Honda dealer. Why their most expensive car, by far, was not in the showroom was a bit confusing.
Looks much better than pictures!
