that car came out in 1991. other than 0.2 liters of displacement and some other body changes, it was basically the same car till it stopped production.
how many other “overrated” sports cars from 91 made it into the 2000’s basically unchanged?
yeah, real “overrated” heh.

That’s damn impressive for a factory front-driver, no matter who’s badges are on it.
Performance wars continue to heat up and the enthusiasts are winning. :tup:

Technology advances, and time goes on. 50 years ago had you told someone that that the average family sedan would offer more power, and better handling than sports cars of the era they would have dropped their cup of tea, and laughed in your face.
That said the NSX is quite underpowered for category it’s classified as.

How many sports cars beat it in 1991 and 2000, yes it was over rated.
just because it lasted that long does not mean it was a good car, it means honda was lazy
When you can get a better performing car for the more than and less than the car is over rated

I’m w/ u on lazy, but i disagree; in 1991 it was top notch…by 2000 better shit had come out, and by 2003 or whenver the last year was, that is when it became overrated. Most people are blinded by the pricetag it carried, but aluminum isn’t cheap.
Anyway, its about time for the new nsx to come out, should be interesting.
