The NSX Type-S Zero is as a Ferarri F355, and the type-r is faster. The Type-R weighs in at 2800lbs... and will easily stroll through the 1/4 in 12s.

There are as many ferraris that are faster than the NSX as there are slower, not to mention that the NSX embarasses the ferrari in build quality.

The only ferrari i would take over an nsx is the enzo, and the enzo retails at $650,000. It has 650hp, and runs a claimed 1/4 in 11.1
Even then, an NSX turbo would move it in range of the hp class, check out www.cybernationmotorsports.com

They have a light turbo kit for the nsx set at 10psi that dynoed 430hp on the wheels.

Also, Steph Papadakis is running a new NSX 3.0L V6 powerplant for the upcoming drag series this year. It has 1,400hp. It has 11,000rpm heads, a twin turbo setup boosting 25psi, and enough spare parts to build 5 duplicate engines (since the nsx parts are so hard to come by)

When asked why he used the nsx engine, he said simply, its the best thing honda makes.

Honestly, the only thing I see wrong with the NSX is the fact that the original design didnt base a 3.0L V10 (a la F1) instead of the 3.0L V6.
