If that is what you think the power increase will be I would say dont bother. 37 hp isn't going to result in a mad rush of buyers. get it to 700+ and I'll add another nsx (used of course unlesss I get 30% off again)

you mentioned that "If Acura limits production and doesn't flood the market next year, prices should rebound."... that was your point I was replying to. I'm respectfully disagreeing by saying it's not an inventory quantity issue. They could build 50 next year or 5,000 it won't matter because it's still too expensive and asking prices might rebound but sold prices will not. There is some price appreciation characteristics simply by being "rare" if they do decide to build a very small amount but that's not really my point because Acura wants to sell in a relative high amount of volume. I think the capacity of the factory is sub 1,000 units a year IIRC.
In your 2nd post I think you mentioned it's a pricing issue which I agree with.
Not trying to be argumentative, but wanted to clarify.
On that note... anything with a 6 in front sounds better than a 5
I think we probably agree more than we disagree.
I think Acura botched on the initial pricing on the car and could've simply salvaged the situation by drastically cutting production. Just Econ 101. Imagine if there were only 50 unsold 2017s on the market right now, we probably wouldn't be talking about these huge discounts. There will always people willing to pay $180k for it, but just not too many of them.

But let it be the 1st time we get all the bragging rights for performance #s along with the reliability that is expected. I just want to be #1 in 2 out of 3 of the following- Performance, reliability, looks. Any combination of reliability with either 2 will do
My ranking would be reliability, looks, performance but all three would have to be awful close!
Honda appears to have squeezed out just above the magic 300HP mark on the Civic Type R. Albeit it has cooling issues now... I wonder if, internally within Honda, they decided it was worth the risk. I think it was from a business standpoint. I wonder if the NSX team could have squeeze a few more PSI of boost to break over the 600 mark and simply risk the <10% of consumers who abuse it at the track. SIGH.............................. I guess it's just fun to pontificate
