it goes faster but then that is only because it has a bigger engine.
should point out that litre for litre, the nsx produces more power than the viper.

True. But is this extra technology really practical?
I mean their determination to make a N/A 3.8L compare with a 8L V10 is admirable, but when you invest so much time and resources into engineering precision only to have you’re rivals get the better of you by them simply increasing the displacement of their engine, you sometimes wonder if it is necessary. It seems like the NSX is more of a technical demonstration of Honda's engineering then a car to win over the consumers.
I know you could say, "If Honda made a 8L V10..ect". And yes if they did make a large engine utilising the same technology it would probably be unbelievably powerful but hell just imagine how much the engine would cost to produce.
Don’t get me wrong Honda are 4-stroke wizards. Their insistence of not taking the easy and far more common way of using turbos in their engines is extremely admirable if a bit stubborn.
