When a TRUE enthusiast buys a car for "ultimate performance" (to me, the term "performance" isn't just about how much power an engine makes), he/she wants the ENTIRE PACKAGE, right? To a true enthusiast that actually knows something, the engine doe NOT make the car. I feel that, at the very least, it's just as difficult of a task, if not MORE difficult and CHALLENGING, to engineer/design/build a chasis that has the optimal suspension geometry/rigidity/overall balance than making a powerful engine without a decent chasis, esp. when the entire NSX's is made out of ALUMINUM. Without a well-designed chasis and proper suspension geometry, a car cannot achieve optimal "dynamic" performance (ie, in the curves as well as the straights), regardless of the engine's power output....
