The only thing the NSX doesn't have is Horse Power.

But it makes up for it with the reduced weight and structural rigidity.

Big reason the NSX cost as much as it does is b/c of its body and the motor. I read this somewere on day and had a discussion about it once.

The NSX is a great car, but i will agree that it is overpriced. 3.2l v6 with 290hp rwd with mid engine placement is great and it also has an extremely light body, but 80k or whatever is too much. Honda knows well that they could sell the NSX for much cheaper, but they jack up prices just because they can. I was reading that the NSX has extremely low production numbers, and that is because this car is not worth as much as it costs. I think that the NSX should be sold at a lower price, like $60k-70k, but that is just my opinion.

They should also use a better engine, maybe a j35 twin turbo. That would be cool

Dat was all I was saying MORE POWER!!! I agree the car is light and has exotic styling, but the car needs more power to go with that ( for dat price)

I've heard of people getting them, but I don't know how they do it.

ive seen a few skyline gtr's in irvine, Ca .. alot of people out there at the college are driving around in them.. they have an american conversion kit i believe, and the kit switches the steering wheel and and stick and clutch pedal and gas pedal and all that shit to the left hand side of the car. Its really a nice car:flash:
