In other words, nobody has a freakin clue what Acura is going to do.

NetViper,

Last month I chat with the Acura engineer at Las Vegas airport, he said there not that much you can do to the nsx. I take it as there will be no redesign in the near future.

I don't buy that. There is PLENTY you can do. Give it factory brembo's. If nissan can do that, so can Acura. Give it more HP. If they can make an accord concept with 300HP out of a 3.2 L engine, the NSX should be making at LEAST 350 HP (3.5L - 100HP/L). Slap on a factory SC and you are at 400 HP. How about wider tires. 255 is still TINY compared to the competition. There are MANY other things they can do to make the car competitive. They just have to get off their lazy butts and do it. IMO, they already blew it. When they did the facelift, they should have also bumped the HP, done the breaks etc.... notice how little attention the car gets in the magazines. It is like they forget it even exists. It really is a shame.

I agree with you 100% netviper, I think he meant the body style.

WELL PREACHED. My thoughts and feelings EXACTLY. Couldn't have put it better myself.
