Cd=0.32 may was not superior for today's standard but is was far more superior at the time the car showed up in the showroom. Compare it to a Porsche 911, even one of today. The aerodynamic shape of a 911 is completely wrong IMO. Back in the day they produced a high amount of lift, fitting big proletarian rear spoilers to get wrid even part of it. They may thought of flying is even faster than driving. :D

When Honda sold only few NSXs they went to the air-tunnel again and brought a facelift model (02+) and they were even refining it for the NSX-R NA2, producing downforce without big ass-wings.


There are plenty of (understandably written) articles on aerodynamics in this source. The most impressive ones are those who work on the underbody and test it on the road.
