    I would love to see this come to fruition. My only concern would be just how tail-happy the final product would be with that much torque in such a light frame. I realize that with a slightly longer wheelbase (within roughly an inch though, I would hope so as to keep the exterior look very similar to factory) would help, as would the much wider tires, BUT would it be controllable? I can't speak too much on chassis design, so I won't I'm just trying to ask a few questions and learn something.
    Who knows?

    The last photo in the original post shows the bodywork fabricated for the '95 Le Mans edition NSX. The front wheel track would be widened to fit flush with the much wider body work then the new rear frame and rear track should match the wider body. Unless it's a Porsche 930-935 I wouldn't want the rear track staggered differently than the front...I prefer a neutral rotation.

    So yes I would want to keep the NSX's look, preferably identical to the '95 Le Mans since I don't like the look of the "stick on" wide body that people use on the street NSX's today. It's the only one I've seen that flows as well.
