    Back to the original topic.

    I have to say, i really do disapprove.

    What made the NSX great is that it's chassis was one of the greatest in history, and remember, i'm the one that holds cars to another standard so i really feel that way. It was a better car than the GTR in its day and remained as such long after. Even with it's lack of power compared to the European and American competition it did well and many times could better them.

    Here is an article from Automobile mag

    [i]Ayrton Senna helped refine the NSX's dynamic behavior with tests at the Nrburgring a decade or so before virtually every other carmaker identified this track as the Holy Grail. The result was a sports car with brilliant performance, an endearing spirit, and totally honest reflexes. Except for an early tendency to wear out its rear tires in 10,000 miles, the Acura NSX was vice-free.[i]



    I feel like the new car needs to stick to it's moral and put light weight and proper chassis and suspension development ahead anything else.

    I'm not gonna say that a high revving Vtec V8 is a bad idea, (its brilliant actually) but i would much rather that engine sit behind the driver.

    It almost makes me feel that Honda just stuck with the norm on this one. The GTR is front engined and so is the LF-A. I realize that they are actually mid-front setups but for a supercar like this which is supposed to be about the experience. A car wearing an NSX badge should have the engine behind the driver.

    Honda CEO demands NSX be faster around 'Ring than GT-R



    By now we've all seen the spy shots showing Acura's NSX revival bombing around the Nürburgring in Germany. There's a reason those drivers are pushing their prototype hard enough to get air through the turns. Inside Line is reporting the Honda CEO Takeo Fukui wants his NSX to toast both the Nissan GT-R and the Lexus LF-A around the Green Hell. Considering that the GT-R has posted lap times on the 'Ring that utterly defy what it should be able to do on paper, and that the LF-A is still a moving target that's trying to best the GT-R too, Honda engineers have some serious work to do developing the NSX over the next two years. IL suspects the next NSX will get a 5.5L V10 producing 550 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque that's derived from a V8 that's slated for the next-gen, rear-wheel-drive Acura RL. They also surmise that it will use an 8-speed auto with paddle shifters, feature an advanced version of Honda's Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive system and use lots of aluminum in its construction to keep weight down. Unfortunately, by the time the NSX arrives, the GT-R V-Spec will have moved the bar again.
