Could only find one 0-60 for the 02 which was 5.0 a few tenths slower than what I've seen for the 97-01 models. I know that there are no power differences so are the 02 and up models heavier?
The '02-04 NSX-T is 11 pounds lighter than the '97-01 NSX-T (curb weight 3153 vs 3164 pounds). For all practical purposes, the acceleration of both models is identical. Any slight differences you see are strictly due to the natural variability of any testing procedure.
(However, the '97-01 NSX Coupe is almost a hundred pounds lighter than the '97-01 NSX-T and that is good for a few tenths of a second.)
There are a lot of small differences - not just the headlights, but the wheels/tires, the front nose, the rear valence, the rear spoiler on the trunk lid, etc etc etc. Typically what happens is that one change adds a pound, another change subtracts three pounds, another pound up here, another pound down there... and when you add it all up, the difference is eleven pounds.
Personally, I think the best weight loss move was punching out all those little holes in the leather seats.
