If Chrysler can build this, why can't Honda?

Maybe because every chance you get you mention "needs 400 horspower" at every available opportunity? It does get irritating!

(By the way it wasn't me, i say what i think out loud)

Well, the new Carerra S has 350HP and it does 0-60 in 4.1 seconds. That is a pretty good number. So in my defense, I think the new NSX could get by with just 395 HP

4.1 is abit too fast, I think it's around 4.4~4.6 range. My friend just got one for little more than $100k

Check this months Car and Driver.
911 Carrera S

0-60 4.1
0-100 10.2
1/4 12.6 @ 112

VERY good numbers.

Those numbers would be great for a 02-05 NSX.

thats very good numbers for 350HP but why is it almost as fast as 911 turbo?

Looks like 350z?

Looks like the stealth fighter on wheels to me! I like it. I have read the driving impressions from both R&T and Motor Trend and both really liked it. MT did said it was fast, but not pushing near 850HP. Chrysler admitted it was not making that much power at that time. Sounds to be one impressive car though. I am not a fan of the rear end lights.

I would like to run the FX500 next to it

To me though, Honda should aim to make a car like the Pagani Zonda! 500HP, NA, lots of TQ and gorgeous styling.
