2003 Acura NSX

I saw it near my Acura dealership, Acura of Avon, this morning heading west on Route 44 near Simsbury, CT. The new headlamps.. well, I guess they'll have to grow on me. From a distance, it looked very much like a Mitsuishi 3000GT. As I got closer, I knew that the lines were a little off for a 3000GT, and sure enough, it turned out to be something else entirely.

Anyway, it was exciting, and added a little spark to my drive to Bakerville, CT.

I think we are supposed to get the V8 Acura NSX in 2004 here in the States. And the target horsepower is between 400 and 450 from what I've read.

At the NY Auto Show this year, they had a Honda Racing V8 engine, with the turbos removed. This was.. I think around a 3-liter (maybe closer to 3.5 liters.. I forget), capable of revving to 16K to 17K rpms, and with turbo boost, figure 800 horsepower, EASILY. WHY WHY WHY don't we consumers get something as cool as that?!?!?! :cry:

Because the Average punter would spin it out and crash on the way home from the dealership.
