You're welcome to your opinion; however, all three cars are similar in their performance profiles, thanks to the variable valve timing. They all have relatively low torque figures, which often means slow acceleration, but they make up for it by maintaining that level of torque up to very high revs. What they don't have in torque, they make up for with gearing, because they don't have to upshift until very high revs, whereas most other cars need to upshift and thus lose acceleration due to the taller gearing of higher gears. This is explained in this article.The S2000 can accelerate in a straight line a lot faster than an ITR, although not as fast as an NSX. (Magazine test figures for 0-60 are generally 6.2-6.6 for the ITR, 5.2-5.8 for the S2000, and 4.8-5.3 for the NSX.)For each of them, for maximum acceleration, you need to accelerate all the way to their redline (8000 for the NSX, 8400 for the ITR, 9000 for the S2000) before upshifting. Anyone looking for fast acceleration at low revs is likely to be disappointed with any of these cars.
