Looks pretty nice to me. Very well put together. Dunno why anyone would call that rice... It's got boltons, but it's quick already as is.

thanks.

And us NSX owners knows that the NSX lacks in power (mostly in the form of low end TQ) by today's standards.

It's a good thing in the past 2 years there has been a huge flood of forced induction and stroker (for those normally aspirated Honda purists) solutions.

The NSX VTEC heads are purported to flow something like 330cfms if memory served me right.

Just check out the 921rwhp and 641rwtq NSX.

And look at the resell value of the NSX.

There was a red one in So. Cal that had 400k~ miles on original engine that sold for $15k.

Very well said. I am not biased toward any manufacturer or country of origin. That is a very well built NSX, and I REALLY like that black one!


Here is an NSX dyno'd at 600rwhp, amazing sound:
