Look at the numbers in various magazines, look at videos, go to nsx prime and see what guys have ran STOCK.

Nsx 3.0 270 hp run in 13.6 - 13.8 range
Nsx 3.2 290 hp run in 13.2 - 13.4 range
Nsx 3.2 Type R run 13.0s flat
Nsx Type S Zero have ran 12.8 second quarter miles.

The NSX is a mid to low thirteen second car, that is equal to a C5 vette, Bmw M3.

Now, a Mustang V6 cant even beat my civic Si. So how compare it to an NSX. Even comparing a mustang GT is ridicoulous.
OK, for the last time. A NSX is not a 1/4 mile car, period! If I wanted a 1/4 mile car I would have bought a Viper or like car.

In professional racing how many forms are there that a straight line?
Humm, Drag racing,tractor pulls.
How many forms include a curve? Too many to list!
Any fool can mash the pedal.
Sure, there are cars that will beat the NSX in a road course, but for the price I paid for mine, (26k) I can't think of any. I don't think I would spend the 89k for a new NSX when you could get essentially the same car for thousands less.

From car & driver *For all you drag racers:

Car 0-60 1/4 mile C&D issue
Acura NSX-T 4.8 13.4 July '97
Corvette (C5) 5.4 13.6 May '98
Ferrari 355 4.5 13.0 July '95
Lamborghini Diablo 4.5 13.4 Sep '94
Porsche 911 5.3 13.5 May '98
Toyota Supra TT 5.0 13. Aug '97

This is what I have for 26k

It runs perfect and has not one flaw in the body or interior.
Oh, did I mention it is handmade?
